Installing the switch
All of the switches must be installed so that they are
not influenced by exhaust or vibration. The switch
knob must be freely accessible over its entire oper-
ating range.
Installing the servos
Always install the servos with the provided rubber vi-
bration damper, see the following installing notices.
This is the only way to protect them somewhat from
excessive vibration.
• Install the servos on rubber grommets with tubular
brass spacers to protect them from vibration. Do
not overtighten the fixing screws; this could coun-
teract the vibration protection provided by the rub-
ber grommets. The system offers both safety and
vibration protection for your servos when the servo
fixing screws are properly tightened. The follow-
ing figure shows how to correctly mount a servo.
The brass spacers are inserted from below into the
rubber grommets:
... they should never be connected as follows:
• In contrast, the sequence for connecting the ser-
vos depends on the model type. Refer to the con-
nection assignments for
Helicopter models and
Fixed-wing models .
WARNINGS
• Technical defects of an electrical or
mechanical nature may cause motors
to start without warning, or may gen-
erate flying parts which can cause sig-
nificant injury to you and others!
• Avoid every kind of short-circuit!
Short-circuits can destroy parts of the
remote control system and cause se-
rious burns or explosions depending
on the circumstances and the battery
charge.
• All parts driven by the motor such as
air and water propellers as well as he-
licopter rotors, exposed gears, etc.
always pose an injury hazard. Never
touch these parts! A fast-rotating pro-
peller can cut off a finger! Make sure
that no other objects come into con-
tact with driven parts.
• The servo arms must be freely movable throughout
their operating range. Make sure that no linkage
parts block the free movement of the servo.
• Connect the receiver's power supply cable(s) or
the servo connecting cable to the receiver as fol-
lows ...
