starting problems or a badly running motor. If the vehicle is not used for a longer time, either drive the tank empty or
pump out the fuel (e.g. with a suitable mechanical or electrical model fuel pump).

This function may already be part of the enclosed receiver/transmitter. Always observe the separately enclosed
operating instructions for the remote control system.
If the remote control system does not have a fail-safe function, a fail-safe is avialle as an accessory (www.conrad.
