《How to change》
Adjust the tension of the steering wheel spring.
Insert a 1.5mm hex wrench referring to the image below.
Rotate clockwise to increase tension and counterclockwise to
decrease it.
[How to Adjust]
Hex Wrench
Excessive counterclockwise rotation will result in the wheel being
unable to return to neutral position. In this case, rotate clockwise
until the wheel returns to neutral.
Insert Wheel Cap Remover to the wheel cap spoke.
Pull up Wheel cap remover with Wheel Cap.
Adjust the position and angle of the brake trigger to your
preferences.
Loosen the hex screws on the throttle trigger with a 1.5mm
hex wrench.
Freely adjust the brake trigger position.
Tighten the hex screws to secure.

● Charger Jack
●Unit Connector
●Power Switch
If the Xpansion unit is not assembled or
used, do not use the LiFe/LiPo battery.
When using balance charger (optional BX-
10L balance charger), please note that
it cannot be charged via the charger
jack. Remove the battery pack from
the transmitter and connect to balance
terminal.
Conrm that the power switch is in the OFF position. If only
using the Grip Unit, make sure that the connector cover is in
place.
Make sure the battery is securely connected. If the
connection is loose, the battery may not charge completely.
Securely connect the charger plug to the charger jack.
Begin charging using a current of less than 1A.
[How to Recharge]
Quick Charger (Sold Separately)
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position when charging.
If only using the Grip Unit, make sure that the connector cover is in
place. A short circuit may occur if the connector makes contact with
metal and lead to a serious accident. Use a current of less than 1A to
charge. Do not connect/disconnect the battery during charging. Take
note of the charger plug's polarity in order to avoid damage.
Do not attempt to charge if using alkaline batteries. Doing so
may result in battery leakage or cracking which will damage the
transmitter.
[Discharging the Battery Pack]
If using a battery pack, please note that it cannot be discharged via
the charger jack. Remove the battery pack from the transmitter to
discharge it.
This product may be dismantled and therefore each unit
features their respective connectors. Dirty or damaged
connectors may result in malfunctions, so please handle them
carefully.
Do not touch the unit connectors with your ngers. If connectors
become corroded due to grime, they may become inoperable. If
storing the transmitter in dismantled form. After prolonged use, a
black residue may build up on the connectors. Use cotton swabs
dipped in cleaning alcohol to remove. KO Propo's Customer
Service Department also handles transmitter maintenance.
This product features a safety lock. The Master Unit and Grip
Unit cannot be detached when the Power Switch is in the ON
position. Turn off the transmitter before dismantling.

R03/AAA/UM4
Batteries (4pcs.)
Press the tab on the bottom of the transmitter to open
battery box cover.
Remove the lock to pull out battery
box.
Install four R03/AAA/UM4 alkaline
batteries while noting their polarity,
then replace
battery box.
Use batteries which have adequate remaining capacity. Weak
batteries mean lower transmitting power and may result in
malfunctions.
Do not install Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries in the battery box.
(These may cause the battery connectors to corrode.)
If the Xpansion unit is not assembled or
used, do not use the LiFe/LiPo battery.
