BEGIN TO USE
1. Connect the ESC, motor, receiver, battery and servo according to the following diagram
For FutabaTM and the similar transmitters, the direction of throttle channel shall be set to "REV", while other radio systems shall
be set to "NOR".
The "Fail Save" function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be activated. Please make sure that the motor can be
stopped when the "Fail Save" happens.
3. Throttle Range Setting (Throttle Range Calibration)
To calibrate the ESC, please turn on the transmitter, keep throttle stick at its neutral position, wait for 3 seconds to let the ESC
execute self-test and automatic throttle calibration. When the ESC is ready to run, a long beep sound is emitted from the
motor.
Note: Please calibrate the throttle range again when using a new transmitter or changing the settings of the neutral position of
throttle channel, D/R, ATV, ATL or EPA parameters, otherwise the ESC may not work properly.

"+" and "-" wires of the ESC are connected to the battery
pack.
ATTENTION: The incorrect polarity will damage the ESC
immediately.
The control cable of the ESC (trio wires with black, red
and white color) is connected to the throttle channel of
the receiver (Usually CH2).
The "Motor +" and "Motor –" wires are connected to
ESC without any order. If the motor runs in the opposite
direction, please swap these two wire connections.
2. Set the Transmitter
Please set the "D/R", "EPA" and "ATL" to 100% for throttle
channel (for transmitter without LCD, please turn the
knobs to the maximum value), and set the "TRIM" of the
throttle channel to 0 (for transmitter without LCD, please
turn the TRIM knob to its neutral position).
