14. Checking the steering and driving functions
a) Steering function
Place the vehicle on a suitable surface so that all wheels can rotate freely and the vehicle is secure. Do not touch
rotating or moving parts. There is a risk of injury!
First switch on the transmitter and, if you have not already done so, set the trimming for the driving and steering
functions in the middle position.
Then turn on the voltage/power supply of the receiver. If you have connected and mounted everything properly, then
the model should respond to the turning movements of the steering wheel (4).
When the steering wheel is in the middle position, the wheels of the vehicle should be aligned straight. If the wheels
are at an angle, even though the steering wheel is in the middle position, check that the servo lever is correctly
positioned on the steering servo. The steering linkage rods can be readjusted, if necessary.
If you turn the steering wheel on the transmitter to the left, the wheels of the vehicle must turn to the left. If you steer
to the right, the wheels must turn to the right.
Warning!
The operation of the steering wheel on the transmitter requires only slight force. Therefore, it is absolutely
sufficient if you operate the steering wheel only with your fingertips. Attempting to turn the steering wheel
with increased force upon reaching the end stop can lead to the destruction of the steering mechanism in
the transmitter. This will void the warranty.
If the wheels turn in exactly the opposite direction, you can enable the reverse steering setting. This will reverse the
servo direction. Under certain circumstances, a readjustment of the steering trimming may be required.
Important!
Adjust the steering linkage on your model so that the full steering deflection to the left and right is achieved
without any mechanical impact or limitation on the steering. If the steering linkage turns out to be too large
when operating the model, it can be reduced with the EPA setting.
