Switching off the engine
In contrast to a "regular" car, the combustion engine of the model car works without a fuel pump or electronic ignition.
Therefore, the engine must be shut down differently.
The engine of the model vehicle is shut down by interrupting the air supply to the carburettor. Cover the exhaust with
anenginestopper(alternativelyarag)orstoptheywheeloftheengineatthebottomofthechassiswhilewearing
gloves.
The fuel supply must not be disconnected, or the engine may be supplied with too little fuel and thus too little lubrica-
tion. This causes damage to pistons and cylinders.
k) Attaching the Car Body
Put the car body onto the vehicle and secure it each with safety clips.
