CAUTIONS
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLACE TO OPERATE YOUR R/C MODEL.
˙ Do not operate model products in rain, on public roads, near crowds, near airport, or near areas with restricted radio
operation. This could cause serious accidents, personal injuries, and/or property damage.
˙ Do not run where loud noises can disturb others, such as hospitals and residential areas.
˙ Never run R/C models near people or animals.
˙ Never run indoors. There is a high risk of fire and/or damage.
˙ To avoid injury, do not run in confined spaces.
INSPECT YOUR MODEL BEFORE OPERATION.
˙ For the best performance, it is important to make sure all the moveable parts work free without binding.
˙ Always use fresh batteries for your transmitter and for your receiver to avoid losing control of the model.
˙ Check the radio system and range before every driving session. To properly check the range, have a friend hold the
car with the engine off and walk to the farthest distance that you plan to operate your model. Operate the controls
to make sure the model responds correctly. Do not operate the model if there is any problem with the radio system.
˙ Never share frequency with somebody else at the same time. Radio signals will be mixed and you will lose control of
your model. This may lead to accidents.
˙ Make sure that all screws and nuts are properly tightened. It is also a good idea to use removable thread lock
wherever metal screws go into metal.
˙ Always test the brakes and throttle before starting your engine to avoid losing control of the model.
˙ As the front end of the antenna may be dangerous, do not aim it toward faces.
˙ Never reverse connection/disassemble the battery. This may lead to damage and leakage.
˙ As the product includes small and sharp parts, assemble and store this product only in places out of the reach of
children.
AFTER OPERATION OF YOUR R/C MODEL
˙ Turn off receiver first, then turn off transmitter, this will prevent runaways.
˙ Be sure to keep your R/C model clean and free of excess dirt and grease, this will increase the life.
˙ Be careful when handling batteries, they will be hot after running.
˙ When the model is not in use, always turn off the receiver and transmitter. Furthermore, disconnect the batteries and
remove them from the model and the transmitter. This may be dangerous such as overheat and leakage.
˙ Replace any batteries, they have been dented or have frayed wires, short circuits can cause fire.
˙ Do not store this model in a high-temperature/humidity area or in direct sunlight.
