Safety is Your Responsibility
Your radio system may be subject to radio interference from many sources that are out of your control. Please be aware that
radio interference may cause a temporary loss of control. Allow adequate space in all directions when running your truck to
prevent collisions if radio interference should occur.
Test the range of your transmitter in the area you are driving. Make sure not to drive too far and go out of range.
After testing the range, start by driving slowly in the area to make sure there is no interference that can cause temporary
losses of control.
Always test the failsafe system every time before use to ensure it’s working properly (instructions are in the radio manual).
Use new or freshly charged batteries in order to boost signal output power and range.
The motor and exhaust become hot during use. Be careful not to touch them while hot to avoid getting burned.
Remember: SAFETY FIRST. Create a safe environment to run the truck and use good common sense. This will ensure
maximal enjoyment while using the truck.
Avoid making changes not shown or suggested in the instruction manual. You can cause damage to the model and injury to
yourself or others if the product is altered in a way not intended.
Do not pick up the truck by its wheels or tires. Keep your hands free and clear of any moving parts when the electronics are
turned on. Gravel, dirt, sticks, and other debris can be kicked up from the rear wheels during aggressive starts. Avoid standing
directly behind the truck and make sure other watchers are at a safe distance to avoid being hit. Eye protection is always
recommended.
Be sure to check over the truck after each driving session. Check for damage or any loose parts and correct any issues right
away before using again. Make sure to check and tighten the wheel nuts before each session.
Don’t drive the model too close to you, other persons, or property where collisions may occur. Allow a comfortable amount of
space to maneuver the truck.
Always have a clear view of the model when driving. Do not drive at night or when your vision may be blocked in any way.
Try to always bring a friend while driving. Another set of eyes is helpful to identify potential hazards such as an animal or person
crossing in the driving path.
Drive in the proper area. This product is not designed to be used in heavy traffic areas where its operation would cause
pedestrian and vehicle interruptions. This is recommended to prevent collisions causing property damage, injury, or death.
Gas Engine Use Warning
A mixture of gasoline and 2-stroke oil is used for fuel. Please use caution when handling fuel.
Keep fuel away from open flames, heating sources, direct sunlight, smoke, batteries or any ignition source. Store fuel in a well-ventilated area.
Store fuel and truck in a location children can’t access.
Keep fuel and truck away from children.
Gasoline is flammable, toxic, and can produce noxious vapors. The exhaust emitted from the truck can also produce noxious vapors. These
vapors can irritate eyes, respiration, and be dangerous to your health. Always operate the truck in a well-ventilated area.
The 2-cycle engine that comes on this truck only uses a mix of gasoline and 2-stroke oil. The oil/gas mix is how the engine is lubricated. Never
run straight gas through the engine as catastrophic damage may result. Never use glow fuels intended for R/C car use.
WARNING – FIRE RISK: EMPTY THE FUEL TANK BEFORE STORING THE TRUCK.
