GRAUPNER UP and GO II Manual page 6

Adhesives and paints contain solvents which may be hazardous to health under certain circumstances. Read
and observe the notes and warnings supplied by the manufacturer of these materials.
Never fly over or towards other people.
During take-off and landing procedures the runway must be free of unauthorised persons and movable obsta-
cles.
Watch the aeroplane constantly while it is in the air. Models must always give way to full-size aircraft.
Never fly the model from public roads, squares, schoolyards, parks and public playing fields. It is your res-
ponsibility to keep the model under full control at all times.
All model flyers should behave in a manner which avoids endangering or interfering with public safety and
order. Never act in any way which will disturb other flyers and jeopardise safe, orderly flying at the site.
As operator of this model aircraft you bear sole responsibility for its safe operation, The only way to avoid
personal injury and property damage is to operate your model cautiously and conscientiously.
If there are passers-by or spectators at your flying site, make sure that they are aware of the dangers inherent
in your activity, and insist that they keep a safe distance away (at least 5 m behind the plane of the propeller).
This aeroplane is highly pre-fabricated and can be completed in a very short time. However, the work which
you have to carry out is important and must be done carefully. The model will only be strong and fly well if
you complete your tasks competently - so please work slowly and accurately.
If your model is powered by a motor or engine, it is important to observe the safety notes provided by the
manufacturer of the power plant.
Before and after every flight check the model and all parts attached to it - e.g. propellers, control surface
linkages, control surfaces etc.) for possible damage. Do not fly the model again until you have corrected any
defects.
Adhesives and paints contain solvents which may be hazardous to health under certain circumstances. Read
and observe the notes and warnings supplied by the manufacturer of these materials.
Please don't misunderstand the purpose of these notes. All we want to do is bring to your attention the many
dangers and hazards which can arise if you lack knowledge and experience, or work carelessly or irrespon-
sibly. If you take reasonable care, model flying is a highly creative, instructive, enjoyable and relaxing pas-
time.
It is important that your shoes should not slip when you are dealing with the motor or engine. The model must
also be firmly secured.
According to the new regulation of §103 Paragraph 3 of the LuftVZO (German Aviation Approvals Office), all
model aircraft - whether slow-flyer, park-flyer, glider, or model aircraft propelled by any form of power plant -
must be insured before the model is operated. If you are not sure about this, please ask at your local model
shop where the staff will be glad to advise you.
These safety notes must be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be sure to pass them on to
the new owner.
Warning!
The propeller must be securely attached. Do not direct the propeller toward persons or animals,
do not test the propeller in the hand. Never dwell in front of a propeller. Unforeseen circum-
stances can cause the propeller to come off of its shaft. Persons in the vicinity can be severely
injured by parts hurled through the air.
Do not touch any part of the drive train (i.e. motor + propeller + shaft) while it is operating as
this can lead to injuries. Allow the motor, shaft, regulator and battery time to cool off after operation before
touching any of these parts!
Operating the model while under the influence of medication, alcohol, drugs, etc. is forbidden.
Note!
When the model is not in use, remove the flight battery from the model, and the dry or recharge-
able cells from the transmitter.
Do not subject the model to severe humidity, heat, cold or dirt.
Secure the model and transmitter when transporting them, otherwise they could slide about and
be damaged.
Care!
Clean the model and the transmitter using suitable cleaning materials only; we recommend a
lint-free cloth. Never use chemical cleaning agents, solvents, methylated spirit, white spirit or
similar.
