Mounting The Servo; Mounting The Power Switch - FUTABA 6k Instruction Manual

MOUNTING THE SERVO

Wood screw
Rubber
grommet
Brass eyelet
Servo mount
(Airplane/Glider)
Servo lead wires
To prevent the servo lead cable from being
broken by vibration during flight, provide a
little slack in the cable and fasten it at suitable
points. Periodically check the cable during daily
maintenance.
Margin in the lead wire.
Fasten about 5-10cm
from the servo outlet so
that the lead wire is neat.
MOUNTING THE POWER
SWITCH
When mounting a power switch to an airframe,
make a rectangular hole that is a little larger than
the total stroke of the switch so that you can turn
the switch ON/OFF without binding.
Avoid mounting the switch where it can be
covered by engine oil and dust. In general, it is
recommended to mount the power switch on the
side of the fuselage that is opposite the muffler.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
when you install receiver
and servos
WARNING
Connecting connectors
Be sure to insert the connector until it stops
at the deepest point.
How to protect the receiver from
vibration and water
Wrap the receiver with something soft such
as foam rubber to avoid vibration. If there is
a chance of getting wet, put the receiver in
a waterproof bag or balloon to avoid water.
Receiver's antenna
Never cut the receiver's antenna. Do not
bind the receiver's antenna with the cables
for servos.
Locate the receiver's antenna as far as
possible from metals or carbon fiber
components such as frames, cables, etc.
*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will
reduce the radio reception sensitivity and range,
and may cause a crash.
Servo throw
Adjust your system so that pushrods will not
bind or sag when operating the servos to
the full extent.
*If excessive force is continuously applied to a
servo, the servo could be damaged due to force
on the gear train and/or power consumption
causing rapid battery drain.
Mounting servos
Use a vibration-proof rubber (such as
rubber grommet) under a ser vo when
mounting the servo on a servo mount. And
be sure that the servo cases do not touch
directly to the metal parts such as servo
mount.
*If the servo case contacts the airframe directly,
vibration will travel to and possibly damage the
servo.
