WINCH OPERATION SUGGESTION: The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make a few test runs before you actually need to use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember you can hear your winch as well as you can see it operate. Get to recognize the sound of a light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting.
Precautions: 1) Within a distance of 200 meters, do not operate the winches with same frequency at the same time by Radio Control, for interference will happen among the radio signals with same frequency. 2) In case that water enters into the Handheld Controller, get out of the battery inside and clean the circuit board with ethyl alcohol (density required ¡Ý98%).
