3. Safety Precautions
This model is not a toy!
• This radio controlled model is not a toy. Learning how to control it correctly is
a gradual process.
• Children under 14 years of age should be supervised by an adult.
Driving a radio controlled car is a fascinating hobby. However, it has to be practi-
sed with the necessary caution and respect.
A radio controlled model car can cause damage and injury and the user is liable
for any such incident.
Make sure that you have sufficient insurance cover when practising your hobby.
Only a well maintained model will function in a correct manner. Only use appro-
ved spare parts and never improvise with any unsuitable items.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the model is functioning correctly and
that all nuts, bolts and screws are properly tightened.
Pay attention to the charge level indicator lamps of your
transmitter.
• Batteries for transmitter and receiver are well charged and of the correct
voltage.
• Always check the range of radio operation before starting the car.
• Make sure that all servos respond correctly to the signals of the transmitter.
• All operable parts are in good condition and you have tested their operation.
• You have made sure that all screws are tightened.
• There is no other RC or similar transmitter nearby, which could cause interfe-
rence. Any further radio signal on the same frequency can cause the loss of
control for your
model. Always switch on the transmitter first to avoid any uncontrolled reac-
tion of the receiver to a foreign radio impulse.
• Fully extend the transmitter antenna and make sure that nobody in your en-
vironment controls a model with the same frequency (number on the crystal)
and that there is no discernable interference. To end the operation switch off
the receiver first, then the transmitter.
• Keep your car away from high voltage cables or radio masts.
• Never use the model during lightning.
• Atmospheric disturbances can affect the signals of your remote controlling
transmitter.
• Do not use the model in wet areas. The electrical connection of the model
is not waterproof. Therefore do not drive while it‘s raining, snowing, or in
puddles or wet grass.
• Always avoid running radio control models in restricted, confined or populated
areas.
• Keep away from roads, highways, people and animals.
• Choose a sufficiently open and large area; it should be free of obstacles.
• Do not drive, if you are overtired or your reactivity is impaired in another way.
• Watch your model constantly and do not become distracted.
• The body shell should be correctly attached to the vehicle before driving.
• Allow cooling time for the engine components before removing the body shell.
• Some parts (e.g. the motor and the muffler) become extremely hot during
operation and could cause serious injury.
Pay attention to charge announcement of your transmitter.
• Ensure that the batteries for the radio and receiver are fully charged and
of the correct voltage. When the batteries are running low you might loose
control of your model.
• Never use fully loaded batteries and batteries which have already run low, or
batteries of a different capacity at the same time.
• Never load batteries which are not rechargeable.
If you do not use the model for a longer time you must remove the rechargeable
battery.
Safety Instructions and Intended Use
This internal combustion engine R/C car is a remote-controlled, two-stroke
engine-driven model car. It is designed for recreational purposes only and should
only be driven on designated tracks or in designated areas. Do not use this
model car in enclosed spaces. These cars should not be driven close to people
or animals.
Never transport goods, people or animals on an internal combustion engine R/C
model car.
In order to prevent errors, always read the operating instructions carefully prior
to use!
The R/C model car should only be driven in suitable areas. Never race it on
public roads. Model cars should only be used with a correctly fitted upper body.
Prior to removing the upper body, always turn off the engine and allow it to cool
down, as the cooling head and exhaust pipe become hot during operation. The
model car should not be used in close proximity to people over a longer period,
since hearing loss may occur.
To prevent malfunctioning of the control system, and therefore erratic driving
behaviour, always check the correct charge state of the batteries in the transmit-
ter and the receiver. For simultaneous operation of several vehicles, the model
car should only be operated at a free frequency.
Always check that the model car is assembled correctly prior to and after each
use. If necessary, retighten nuts, bolts and screws. Always check that the tank
system is sealed correctly prior to each use. The fuel tank cap has to be closed
tightly.
