modelfuel.Alwaysavoidrunningradiocontrolmodelsinrestricted,
confinedorpopulatedareas.Keepawayfromroads,highways,peo-
ple and animals. Never run the model indoors.
Nogoods,peopleoranimalsmaybetransportedusingaRCmodel
car with combustion engine.
Pleaseensurethatyouhavereadallthesafetyinstructionsandoper-
ating procedures before driving the model!
Thebodyshellshouldbecorrectlyattachedtothevehiclebefore
driving.
Allow cooling time for the exhaust and engine components before
removingthebodyshell.Thesepartsbecomeextremelyhotduring
operationandcouldcauseseriousinjury.
Donotoperatethemodelpermanentlywherenoisemaycausea
nuisancetoothers,becausethenyoumaydamageyourhearing.
Toavoidthemodelrunningwithafaultycontrolsystemcausingit
todriveerratically,checkthatthebatteriesinthetransmitterand
receiverareproperlycharged.
Alwayscheckthatallthenuts,boltsandscrewsandcomponentsare

spillages. Never leave fuel in the fuel tank.
Only a well maintained model will function in a
correct manner.

Radio controlled models are not toys, operat-
ing them has to be learned step by step.
• Childrenlessthan14yearsofageshoulddrivethemodelonly
together with a supervising adult.
Drivingaradiocontrolledcarisafascinatinghobbywhichhastobe
practisedwiththenecessarycautionandrespect.
A radio controlled model car can cause damage and injuries in case of
uncontrolled driving conditions and the user is liable for this.
Makesurethatyouhavesufficientinsurancecoverageinpractising
yourhobby.
Never drive without first making sure of the
following points:
• Batteriesfortransmitterandreceiverarewellchargedandofthe
correct voltage.
• Alwayschecktherangeofradiooperationbeforestartingthecar.
• Makesurethatallservosrespondcorrectlytothesignalsofthe
transmitter.
• Alloperablepartsareingoodconditionandyouhavetestedtheir
operation.
• Youhavemadesurethatallscrewsaretightened.
• ThereisnootherRCorsimilartransmitternearby,whichcould
causeinterference.Anyfurtherradiosignalonthesamefrequency
cancausethelossofcontrolforyourmodel.Alwaysswitchonthe
transmitterfirsttoavoidanyuncontrolledreactionofthereceiver
to a foreign radio impulse.
• Fullyextendthetransmitterantennaandmakesurethatnobodyin
yourenvironmentcontrolsamodelwiththesamefrequency(num-
beronthecrystal)andthatthereisnodiscernableinterference.To
end the operation switch off the receiver first, then the transmitter.
• Keepyourcarawayfromhighvoltagecablesorradiomasts.Never
use the model during lightning!
• Atmosphericdisturbancescanaffectthesignalsofyourremote
controlling transmitter.
• Donotusethemodelinwetareas.Theelectricalconnectionofthe
model is not waterproof. Therefore do not drive while it’s raining,
snowing, or in puddles or wet grass.
• Alwaysavoidrunningradiocontrolmodelsinrestricted,confined
or populated areas.
• Keepawayfromroads,highways,peopleandanimals!
• Donotdrive,ifyouareovertiredoryourreactivityisimpairedin
anotherway.
• Watchyourmodelconstantlyanddonotbecomedistracted.
• Thebodyshellshouldbecorrectlyattachedtothevehiclebefore
driving.
• Regularmaintenanceandservicingarerequiredtoensuretop
performance.
• Allowcoolingtimefortheenginecomponentsbeforeremoving
thebodyshell.Someparts(e.g.themotorandthemuffler)become
extremelyhotduringoperationandcouldcauseseriousinjury.Pay
attentiontochargeannouncementofyourtransmitter.
• Ensurethatthebatteriesfortheradioandreceiverarefully
charged and of the correct voltage. When the batteries are running
lowyoumightloosecontrolofyourmodel.
• Neverusefullyloadedbatteriesandbatterieswhichhavealready
runlow,orbatteriesofadifferentcapacityatthesametime.
• Neverloadbatterieswhicharenotrechargeable.
If not using the model for a longer time, the
rechargeable battery for driving has to be
removed absolutely.
