The purchaser should state the material defect or manufacturing fault or the symptoms of the fault in as 
accurate a manner as possible so that we can check whether our guarantee obligation is applicable.  
The goods are transported from the consumer to us and from us to the consumer at the risk of the 
consumer. 
 

Duration of validity 

This declaration only applies to claims made to us during the claim period as stated in this declaration.  The 
claim period is  24 months from the date of purchase of the product by the consumer from a dealer in the 
Federal Republic of Germany (date of purchase). If a defect arises after the end of the claim period, or if the 
evidence or documents required according to this declaration in order to make the claim valid are not 
presented until after this period, then the consumer forfeits any rights or claims from this declaration.  
 

Limitation by lapse of time 

If we do not acknowledge the validity of a claim that is  properly made under this declaration within the claim 
period, all claims based on this declaration expire after six months from the time of claim, but not before the 
end of the claim period.   
 

Applicable law 

This declaration, and the claims, rights and obligations arising from it, are based exclusively on the 
applicable German Law, without the norms of international private law, and excluding UN retail law. 

Important safety notes 

You have acquired a kit that can be assembled into a fully working RC model - when fitted out with suitable 
accessories. However, GRAUPNER has no control over whether you observe the instructions for the 
installation and operation of the model or the use and maintenance of the associated components. For this 
reason GRAUPNER assumes no liability for losses, damage, or costs, which are incurred due to the 
incorrect use of our products or due to improper behaviour on the part of the user, or which are connected 
with such operation in any way.  Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of GRAUPNER 
to pay compensation for any reason whatsoever (including  personal injury, death, damage to buildings, 
damage due to loss of business or turnover, interruption of business, or other direct or indirect consequent 
damage) stemming from the operation of the model is excluded. 
The total liability in all cases and under all circumstances is limited to the amount of money that you actually 
paid for this model.  
 

 

This model is started up and operated at the sole and exclusive risk of the operator. To avoid injuring 
people and damaging property, it is essential to be careful and thoughtful when operating your 
model. 

 

Before operating the model for the first time, check whether the operation of model ships of this kind is 
covered by your private liability insurance. If necessary, purchase a special RC model liability insurance 
policy. 
These safety notes must be retained and provided to the buyer if sold to another person. 

 
The following items must be observed: 

 

The model is not suitable for children under 14 years old. 

 

Because of the high speed, 

never

 operate the model when people or animals are in the water, because 

this represents a great danger of injury to them.  

 

Do not operate your model in nature preserves, landscape protection areas, or water conservation 
districts. Find out from your local government which waters are approved for model shipbuilders.  

 

Never operate the model in salt water. 

 

Never operate the model in adverse weather conditions, such as rain, thunderstorm, strong wind, or in 
high waves or strong currents, et cetera. 

 

Before you fly the model, check that the radio control system is working reliably, and that all connections 
are safe and secure. 

 

Observe the operating information on the installed remote control system and accessories. 

 

Ensure that the channel you intend to use is not already in use. Never operate the model if you are not 
certain that your channel is free.  

 

Work on the parts of the drive system 

only

 with the motor power supply disconnected. 

 

When the drive battery is connected, you and other persons must 

never

  get near the ship's propeller, 

because it poses a substantial risk of injury.
