by the fuel manufacturer/provider.
• Fuel is a fire accelerant. Never operate your vehicle near open flames. Never
smoke while operating your vehicle or while handling fuel.
• Always only use a mixture of gasoline and two-cycle oil for fuel. Do not use glow
(nitro) fuel.
• Always use caution when handling gasoline.
• Always run your model engine in a well-ventilated area. Model engines produce
harmful carbon monoxide fumes.
• Always drain your gas tank after you have finished running your vehicle. Do not
store the vehicle with fuel in the gas tank.
• Never handle model engines and mufflers until they have had time to cool. They
become extremely hot when in use.
• Always store your fuel in a safe place well away from sparks, heat or anything that
can ignite.
• Always ensure that gasoline and fuel are stored in a clearly marked container well
away from the reach of children.
• Always mix and store your fuel safely in a sealed, water-resistant container
specifically made for gasoline.
• Always store fuel in a cool, dry location. Do not allow fuel containers to come in
direct contact with concrete, as the fuel may absorb moisture.
• Always responsibly discard fuel if there is condensation and/or water inside the
fuel container.
• Never allow fuel to come into contact with eyes or mouth. Gasoline and other fuels
used in model engines are poisonous.
• Never return unused fuel from the fuel tank back into the fuel container.
• Contact your local waste disposal authorities for more information about discarding
fuel waste responsibly.
• Only use gasoline mixed with two-cycle engine oil.
• Only use Dynamite

Fuel Safety and Use Instructions

Fuel Mixing Precautions and Guidelines
Remove the fuel tank cap and fill the fuel tank. Tighten the fuel tank cap securely
back in place.

Running a loose fuel tank cap will cause inconsistency and high idle speed.
Vehicle Starting and Running with AVC
Priming the Carburetor
Before powering on the vehicle, turn on the starter box. Hold the vehicle securely with
a fi nger over the exhaust port. Align the vehicle's fl ywheel with the starter box wheel.
Briefl y contact the fl ywheel with the starter box wheel for one second. The carburetor
is now primed.
Remove your fi nger from the exhaust port, power on the vehicle and keep it immoblile
for 5-10 seconds to alow AVC to calibrate. Now the vehicle is ready to start. Use the
starter box again, the engine should turn over and start up.
Priming the engine is typically not required for every start up. Only when the vehicle
has been sitting for extended periods of time "cold start".
IMPORTANT:
Always make sure the vehicle is motionless and on a level surface
before powering on the vehicle. Each time you power on the vehicle, the Spektrum
SRS4200 receiver automatically detects the receiver position (or orientation). The
vehicle must remain motionless and level until the receiver calibration is complete
(normally 5-10 seconds after powering on the vehicle). Moving the vehicle or not
placing it on a surface will reduce the performance of the receiver.
1. Center
the
ST. TRIM
and
TH. TRIM
dials on the transmitter.
2. Fill the fuel tank with 2-stroke gasoline (14:1 gasoline:oil ratio).
3. Power on the transmitter.
4. Power on the vehicle. The vehicle and receiver MUST remain motionless for at
least 5 seconds.
5. Power on the Starter box.
6. Hold the vehicle securely and press it to the starter box. The engine should turn
over and start up.
Follow the engine break-in procedure before attempting any racing or high-
performance operation. Use caution when adding fuel while the engine is running. Do
not over fi ll or spill fuel outside the tank.
