Engine Starting; Engine Break In And Running; Driving - Maverick BLACKOUT XB Manuel D'instructions

Engine Starting

You must mix your petrol fuel with 2-stroke oil with a mixture of 25:1
The Fuel Tank is 700CC on the Blackout which should give around 40 minutes duration on a
tank of fuel.
To fill the fuel tank remove the lid and use a nozzle to help with pouring the fuel. Once full replace
the lid and make sure it is tight.
You need to prime the engine by pressing the priming bubble on the carburettor until you get fuel in
the bubble and fuel tube.
Make sure the choke lever is in the horizontal position before pulling the starter cord.
Pull the starter cord in short pulls (50cm/20" MAX) until the engine fires up.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS PRESS THE ENGINE STOP BUTTON IMMEDIATELY
If your engine does not start after 10 pulls
•
Set the choke to the vertical position
•
Pull the starter cord for up to 5 pulls until you hear the engine try to start. Be careful not to flood the engine
•
Return the choke to the horizontal position
•
Pull the starter cord and your engine should start within 5 pulls
Only use the choke in the vertical if the engine does not start normally. Using the choke in the vertical position can easily flood the engine.

Engine Break In and Running

Your new engine needs to be broken in carefully to make sure the engine internals have time to 'bed in' and get settled. To do this you must drive
for 1 tank of fuel very slowly and not hitting full throttle.
It is important that you do not adjust the carburettor at all during break in.
Once you have completed the break in procedure your engine will be ready for normal use and any tuning you may wish to make.
To stop the engine you must press the engine STOP button, taking care not to go near the hot engine and exhaust parts.

Driving

Driving an R/C car can be very difficult to master but here are some basic tips to help you to understand how to use it before you have your first
attempt
•
Drive the vehicle in a very large space, especially until you get the feel of driving the product.
•
Do not run on public streets or highways. This could cause serious accidents, personal injuries and/or property damage.
•
Do not run in water or sand.
•
Make sure everyone is using different frequencies when driving together in the same area.
•
If you keep pulling the throttle trigger on the transmitter, the vehicle will keep accelerating and run very fast. It is difficult to steer the
vehicle running at high speed until you become used to driving. Drive the vehicle slowly by pulling the throttle trigger to the fullest and
quickly releasing it.
You can turn the vehicle right or left while it is running.
When the vehicle is running toward you, you need to operate the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the operation when the vehicle is
running away from you.
Practice turning the vehicle, referring to the following:
Rather than just paying attention to the direction of the steering wheel, imagine that you are at the centre of the steering wheel, looking ahead of
the vehicle, to turn in the direction you like.
Once you become conformable driving the vehicle, practice driving on a track with cones.
Keep practising until you feel comfortable with the steering, throttle and brake at low speeds.
Once you are feeling comfortable try using reverse.
When you have mastered the basics you will be able to drive at higher speeds in a more controlled fashion.
