STEP 1
Install 8 “AA” batteries into the transmitter as per the Etronix instruction
booklet noting the proper direction of each cell.
STEP 2
Open the radio box and Install 4 “AA” batteries in the battery holder
noting the proper direction of each cell.
STEP 3
Insert the antenna tube in the top of the radio box. Feed the receiver
antenna through the tube until several inches extend out the top. Install the
antenna tip. If you choose to cut the tube down to size, do so without the
antenna installed.
STEP 4
Turn on the transmitter and then the receiver. Check to make sure
that the servos are operating correctly and that the carburetor closes
when the throttle trigger is released.
AT THIS POINT PLEASE FOLLOW THE SEPARATE ETRONIX RADIO
INSTRUCTION BOOKLET FOR RADIO SET-UP. MAKE SURE THAT YOU SET
THE FAILSAFE FEATURE ON THE TRANSMITTER.
STEP 5
Apply air filter oil to help keep the
dirt out. The best method is to remove
the end cap (keep the filter connected
to the carb) and remove the foam
element. Dab the treatment all around
the filter, put the filter in a plastic
sandwich bag, and knead it until the
filter issaturated, but not soaked.
