Driving operation
Do not drive if your ability to respond is restricted (e.g. due to fatigue, medications or alcohol influence).
Improper operation can cause serious injury to persons and damage to property.
Do not drive if you have the slightest doubt about the proper functioning and technical condition of your
model / your remote control set.
Connect the drive motor of electric models only after the receiver system has been completely installed, other-
wise the drive motor may start suddenly on its own.
Always maintain direct eye contact with the model.
Operate the model only in private areas or on sites designated for this purpose. Note the requirements and
regulations of the site.
While operating the model, always make sure that no parts of your body or of other people, or objects come
within the danger range of the motors or any other rotating parts.
Check all screw connections and fastenings regularly, as they may loosen or come undone during operation.
In case of a fault, stop operating your model immediately and remove the cause of malfunction before you
continue to use the model..
Avoid driving when there are low outdoor temperatures, as the capacity of the rechargeable batteries will be
reduced, and the plastic bodywork will decrease in elasticity and crack easily.
Do not expose your model and the remote control to direct sunlight, humidity, heavy pollutions or excessive
heat/cold for a longer period of time..
Only use genuine spare parts.
Do not drive
