• The manual for the remote control system is included separately. Always follow all the safety information
as well as all other information!
• Only use suitable batteries for the vehicle. Never power the speed controller with a power adapter, even
for test purposes.
• This vehicle is only suitable for use with a 6-cell NiMH battery (nominal voltage 7.2 V) or a 2-cell LiPo
battery (nominal voltage 7.4 V).
Usingadrivebatterywithmorecellsmaymakethespeedcontrolleroverheatandcauseare.Inaddi-
tion, the powertrain may be damaged due to overload which will void the warranty/guarantee!
• Always switch on the remote control before connecting the vehicle battery and switching on the speed
controller,otherwisethevehiclemayreactunexpectedly!
Proceed as follows:
- Before connecting the battery, place the vehicle on a suitable surface so that all wheels can move
freely.
- Switch off the speed controller.
- Switch on the remote control and check that it functions correctly (e.g. the display turns on).
- On the remote control, set the trim for the throttle/brake function to the central position.
- Connect a fully-charged vehicle battery to the speed controller in the correct polarity.
- Turn on the speed controller. Wait for a few seconds until the speed controller has completed a self-
test.

before removing it from the support and placing the wheels on the ground.
c) Driving the vehicle
• Improper use can cause serious injury and damage to property! Only use the vehicle when it is within
your sight. Do not use the vehicle at night.
• Only use the vehicle when you are fully alert and able to respond. As is the case when driving a real
vehicle, fatigue, alcohol or medications can affect your ability to respond.
• This model vehicle must not be used on public roads, spaces or paths. Do not use the vehicle on private
land without the landowner's permission.
• Do not drive towards people or animals!
• Avoid driving in very low outdoor temperatures. Plastic parts lose their elasticity in cold temperatures.
This can result in serious damage even after a minor accident.
