Applicable law

exclusively on the pertinent German Law, without the norms of international private

Important safety notes
You have purchased a kit which can be assembled to produce a fully working RC
model when fitted out with the appropriate accessories. As manufacturers, we at
GRAUPNER are not in a position to influence the way you install, operate and
maintain the boat, nor the other components used in connection with the model. For
this reason we are obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are
incurred due to the incompetent or incorrect use and operation of our products, or
which are connected with such operation in any way. Unless otherwise prescribed by
binding law, the obligation of the GRAUPNER company to pay compensation,
regardless of the legal argument employed, is excluded. This includes personal
injury, death, damage to buildings, loss of trade or turnover, interruption of business
or other indirect or direct damages which are caused by the operation of the model.
Under all circumstances and in all cases the company’s overall liability is limited to
the amount which you actually paid for this model.
The VELOX is operated at the sole risk of the operator. To avoid injury to persons
and damage to property please handle your model boat carefully and operate it
conscientiously at all times.
Before you run the boat for the first time it is important to check that your private third
party insurance policy provides cover when you are operating model boats of this
kind. If you are not sure, take out a special insurance policy designed to cover the
risks of RC modelling.
These safety notes are important, and must be kept in a safe place. If you ever
dispose of the model, be sure to pass them on to the new owner.
The following points are important and must be observed at all times:
This model is not suitable for children or young persons under fourteen years of age.
Before you run the model check that the radio control system is working properly,
and that all electrical connections are firmly seated.
Ensure that the channel on which you intend to run the model is not already in use by
another modeller. Never run the boat if you are not certain that your channel is free.
Remember that other radio sets and transmitting equipment can cause serious
interference to the model’s operation. As far as possible, ensure that no equipment of
this kind is switched on in the vicinity while you are operating the model.
Do not exceed the recommended operating voltage. Higher voltages can cause
terminal damage to the electronics and the model.
Do not subject the model to high levels of humidity, heat, cold or dirt.
Take particular care to keep the model properly sealed. Open the boat after each
run, and allow it to dry out thoroughly.
Care and maintenance
After every run remove the superstructure and remove any water which has
penetrated the hull. If water gets inside any of the electronic units, dry them out
thoroughly and send them to your nearest GRAUPNER Service Centre for checking.
Spraying the electronics with WET.PROTECT (Order No. 968.50) is an effective
method of preventing the effects of damp.
