Assembly Precautions - FUTABA 2HR Instruction Manual

WARNING
Check the receiver, servos, and battery connectors, to be sure they are firmly connected.
If a connector is not fully inserted, vibration may cause the connector to work loose while the model
is operating. This will result in loss of control.
Operate each servo horn over its full stroke and check to see that the linkage does not bind or is not
too loose.
Excessive force applied to the servo horn by binding or poor installation may lead to servo problems
and result in loss of control.
(Electric Cars and Boats)
Isolate the receiver from vibration by attaching to the chassis or mounting plate with thick double
sided tape.
(Gas Powered Cars and Boats)
Isolate the receiver from vibration by wrapping it in foam rubber or similar type cushioning material.
Protect the unit from water damage by placing it in a plastic bag or waterproof radio box.
The receiver contains precision electronic parts. These parts are vulnerable to vibration and shock.
Any contact with moisture (water or condensation) may cause receiver malfunction and loss of con-
trol.
Use the servo horn screw.
When the servo horn comes off, it becomes loss of control.
Keep all devices that emit high frequency noise, such as motors, batteries, and wiring that handles
heavy current loads, at least 1/2 inch away from the receiver and the receiver antenna.
High frequency noise will cause a decrease in operating range and could cause loss of control.
Install electronic speed control heat sinks as well as other components that conduct electricity so they
can not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other materials that conduct electricity.
If, for example, the speed control came loose while the model was running and touched an aluminum
chassis, a short circuit may occur that would cause irreparable damage to the system as well as loss
of control.
Noise suppression capacitors should be installed on almost all motors.
If the proper capacitors are not installed, high frequency noise will reduce range and cause loss of
control along with various other problems.
Inspect all linkage installations and any point where metal could come in contact with other metal
parts. Make sure these parts do not touch other metal parts under vibration.
Should a linkage or other metal parts come in contact with other metal parts under vibration, the high
frequency noise generated by this contact will cause interference and possible loss of control.
CAUTION
Do Not disassemble any part of this system that is not specified in the instruction manual.
Futaba will not be responsible for any damage due to improper disassembly of any part of the radio
control system.
