Safety precautions and operating guidelines

This radio control model vehicle must only be run on the approved

confined or populated areas. Keep away from roads, highways, people
and animals. Never run the model indoors.
No goods, people or animals may be transported using a RC model car
GB
with combustion engine.
Please ensure that you have read all the safety instructions and
operating procedures before driving the model!

This model is not a toy!
• This radio controlled model is not a toy. Learning how to control it
correctly is a gradual process.
• Children under 14 years of age should be supervised by an adult.
Driving a radio controlled car is a fascinating hobby. However, it has to
be practised with the necessary caution and respect. A radio con-
trolled model car can cause damage and injury and the user is liable
for any such incident. If driven erratically, a fairly heavy remote-
controlled model car which is capable of reaching a high speed can
Never drive without first making sure of the
following points:
• Batteries for transmitter and receiver are well charged and of the
correct voltage.
• Always check the range of radio operation before starting the car.
• Make sure that all servos respond correctly to the signals of the
transmitter.
• All operable parts are in good condition and you have tested their
operation.
• You have made sure that all screws are tightened.
• There is no other RC or similar transmitter nearby, which could
cause interference. Any further radio signal on the same frequency
can cause the loss of control for your model. Always switch on the
transmitter first to avoid any uncontrolled reaction of the receiver
to a foreign radio impulse.
• Fully extend the transmitter antenna and make sure that nobody
in your environment controls a model with the same frequency
(number on the crystal) and that there is no discernable
interference. To end the operation switch off the receiver first,
then the transmitter.
• Keep your car away from high voltage cables or radio masts. Never
use the model during lightning!
• Atmospheric disturbances can affect the signals of your remote
controlling transmitter.
• Do not use the model in wet areas. The electrical connection of the
model is not waterproof. Therefore do not drive while it's raining,
snowing, or in puddles or wet grass.

Allow cooling time for the exhaust and engine components before
removing the body shell. These parts become extremely hot during
operation and could cause serious injury.
Do not operate the model permanently where noise may cause a
nuisance to others, because then you may damage your hearing.
To avoid the model running with a faulty control system causing it to
drive erratically, check that the batteries in the transmitter and receiver
are properly charged.
Always check that all the nuts, bolts and screws and components are
not loose. Retighten and adjust as necessary.
Fill the fuel tank and firmly push the tank lid shut. Clean up any fuel
spillages. Never leave fuel in the fuel tank.
cause substantial damage and injury for which you as the operator are
responsible.
Make sure that you have sufficient insurance cover when practising
your hobby. Only a well maintained model will function in a correct
manner.
Never improvise using unsuitable parts and tools. If necessary only
use original spare parts. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the
model is functioning correctly and that all nuts, bolts and screws are
properly tightened.
• Always avoid running radio control models in restricted, confined
or populated areas.
• Keep away from roads, highways, people and animals!
• Do not drive, if you are overtired or your reactivity is impaired in
another way.
• Watch your model constantly and do not become distracted.
• The body shell should be correctly attached to the vehicle before
driving.
• Regular maintenance and servicing are required to ensure top
performance.
• Allow cooling time for the engine components before removing
the body shell. Some parts (e.g. the motor and the muffler) become
extremely hot during operation and could cause serious injury.
Pay attention to charge announcement of your transmitter.
• Ensure that the batteries for the radio and receiver are fully charged
and of the correct voltage. When the batteries are running low you
might loose control of your model.
• Never use fully loaded batteries and batteries which have already
run low, or batteries of a different capacity at the same time.
• Never load batteries which are not rechargeable
If you do not use the model for a longer time you must remove the
rechargeable battery.
