Important Notes & Warning - THUNDER TIGER ER-1 Instruction Manual

IMPORTANT NOTES & WARNING
FUEL SELECTION
1. Choose a fuel from a reputable, brand name company that is approved for car/truck use.
Do not use airplane or boat fuels in your car/truck. Choose methanol based model engine
glow fuel that has a nitro content in the range 10%-30% and 5% to 18% caster/synthetic oil
content for lubrication. Lower nitro percentages will generally result in a cooler engine running
temperature and therefore last longer before needing a rebuild; cooler-running engines also
generally produce less power. 20% nitro is the most widely used fuel.
2. Fuel color is for identification purpose only and is not important to performance or durability
of your engine.
3. Be careful. If the tank overflows it might get on your radio gear or on your brakes and it may
create an unsafe driving situation. Always keep your fuel bottle closed when not in use.
4. Do not dispose of fuel or empty fuel containers in a fire. It may possibly cause fire or explosion.
ENGINE
1. For proper engine break-in procedure, please refer to the manual of your engine.
2. Never run your vehicle without the air filter .If the vehicle will be operated in an area with
fine dust, use filter oil or caster oil on the air filter element. It is important that the foam is
only moist to trap dirt and allow air passage. With the foam too wet, limited air can pass
through; therefore, limiting engine performance.
3. The parts around engine could be dangerously hot after operation. Do not touch it without
any protection!
RADIO OPERATION
1. When turning radio on, first turn on the transmitter and extend the transmitter antenna.
2. Then, turn on the receiver. When turning off, first turn the receiver off, then the transmitter
off.
FIRST AID
1. If you drink nitro fuel by accident, immediately drink large quantities of water and try to induce
vomiting. Consult with physician right after then.
