Storage And Disposal Safety Precautions - FUTABA 4YWD Instruction Manual

Make all adjustments to the radio control system with the electric motor
disconnected.
If the motor is connected while adjustments are made, the model may run out of con-
trol.
Remove the main battery source from electric powered models when they are not
being used.
Should you accidentally leave the receiver switch on, the model could run out of con-
trol.
CAUTION
Do not touch the motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate
heat while running.
Touching hot parts will result in serious burns.
When the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the outlet. This will prevent
accidents, overheating and short circuits.

Storage and Disposal Safety Precautions

WARNING
At the end of a day's operation, store the system with NiCd/NiMH battery
discharged. Be sure to recharge the system before it is used again.
You should fully discharge your system's batteries periodically to prevent a condition
called "memory". For example, if you only make two runs in a day or you regularly use
a small amount of battery's capacity, the memory effect can reduce the actual capac-
ity even if the battery is charged for the recommended amount of time.
Do not throw a NiCd/NiMH battery into a fire. Do not disassemble or attempt to
repair a NiCd/NiMH battery pack.
Overheating, damage and acid leakage may lead to burns, loss of eye sight as well as
numerous other types of injuries. The electrolyte in NiCd/NiMH batteries is a strong
alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, Do
Not rub. Wash immediately with water, and seek medical attention at once. The elec-
trolyte can cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes,
wash with water immediately.
Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children.
A small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous
situation and injuries. NiCd/NiMH batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled
and cause chemical damage.
