Safety Precautions and Operating
Guidelines
This radio control model vehicle must only be run on an
approved model fuel. Always avoid running radio control
models in restricted, confined or populated areas. Keep away
from roads, highways, people and animals. Never run the model
indoors.Please ensure that you have read all the safety instruc-
tions and operating procedures before driving the model.
The body shell should be correctly attached to the vehicle
before driving.
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 where noise may cause a nuisance to
others.
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 controlled model car can cause damage and injury and
the user is liable for any such incident.
Pay attention to the charge level indicator
lamps of your transmitter.
• 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.

Ensure that the batteries for the radio and receiver are fully
charged and of the correct voltage.
Turn on the transmitter first, then the receiver. Reverse this
procedure when switching off. Check that the throttle, brakes
and trims are functioning correctly.
Make sure that no other person is operating on the same
frequency as your radio and that there is no discernable inter-
ference.
Always check that all the nuts, bolts and screws and compo-
nents 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.
Make sure that you have sufficient insurance cover when
practising your hobby.
Only a well maintained model will function in a correct manner.
Only use approved spare parts and never improvise with any
unsuitable items.
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.
• Choose a sufficiently open and large area; it should be free
of obstacles.
• Do not drive, if you are overtired or your reactions are
impaired in any way.
• Watch your model constantly and do not become distracted.
• The body shell should be correctly attached to the vehicle
before driving.
• 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 the charge indications on 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 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 batteries.
