Warning
Do not operate outdoors on rainy days, run through puddles of water or use when visibility is limited.
Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any component of the system, erratic operation and loss of control may occur.
Do not operate in the following places.
-Near other sites where other radio control activity may occur.
-Near people or roads.
-On any pond when passenger boats are present.
-Near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas.
Interference could cause loss of control. Improper installation of your Radio Control System in your model could result in serious in-
jury.
Do not operate this R/C system when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself as well as others.
Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat while the mod-
el is operating or immediately after its use.
These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns.
Always perform an operating range check prior to use.
Problems with the radio control system as well as improper installation in a model could cause loss of control.
Turning on the power switches.
Always check the throttle trigger on the transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral position.
1. Turn on the transmitter power switch.
2. Turn on the receiver or speed control power switch.
Turning off the power switches
Always be sure the engine is not running or the motor is stopped.
1. Turn off the receiver or speed control power switch.
2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.
If the power switches are turned off in the opposite order, the model may unexpectedly run out of control and cause a very dangerous
situation.
When making adjustments to the model, do so with the engine not running or the motor disconnected.
You may unexpectedly lose control and create a dangerous situation.
Before running (cruising), check the fail-safe function.
Check Method;
Before starting the engine, check the fail-safe function as follows:
1) Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches.
2) Wait at least one minute, then turn off the transmitter power switch. (The transmitter automatically transfers the fail-safe data to the
receiver every minute.)
3) Check if the fail-safe function moves the servos to the preset position when reception fails.
