Mounting The Receiver Switch; Safety Precautions When You Install Receiver And Servos - FUTABA T6L Sport Instruction Manual

MOUNTING THE RECEIVER 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 muffler.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 getting wet, put the receiver in a waterproof bag or balloon to avoid water.
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.
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.
