Safety Precautions When You Install Receiver And Servos; Mounting The Servo; Mounting The Power Switch; Servo Lead Wires - FUTABA T18MZ WC 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.

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 muf er.
＜ Before Use ＞
30
2.3-2.6mm nut
washer
Rubber
grommet
Brass eyelet
Servo mount
2.3-2.6mm screw
(Helicopter)
Fasten about 5-10cm
from the servo outlet so
that the lead wire is neat.
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 it 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 ber 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 servo 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.
