SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All of us at Traxxas want you to safely enjoy your new model. Operate
your model sensibly and with care, and it will be exciting, safe, and fun
for you and those around you. Failure to operate your model in a safe and
responsible manner may result in property damage and serious injury.
The precautions outlined in this manual should be strictly followed to
help ensure safe operation. You alone must see that the instructions are
followed and the precautions are adhered to.
Important Points to Remember
•
Your model is not intended for use on public roads or congested areas
where its operation can conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular
traffic.
•
Never, under any circumstances, operate the model in crowds of people.
Your model is very fast and could cause injury if allowed to collide with
anyone.
•
Because your model is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference
from many sources that are beyond your control. Since radio interference
can cause momentary losses of radio control, always allow a safety margin
in all directions around the model in order to prevent collisions.
•
The motor, batteries, and speed control can become hot during use. Be
careful to avoid getting burned.
•
Don’t operate your model at night, or anytime your line of sight to the
model may be obstructed or impaired in any way.
•
Most importantly, use good common sense at all times.
Batteries and Battery Charging
Your model uses rechargeable batteries that must be handled with
care for safety and long battery life. Make sure to read and follow all
instructions and precautions that were provided with the battery
pack and your charger. It is your responsibility to charge and care for
the battery packs properly. In addition to your battery and charger
instructions, here are some more tips to keep in mind.
• Use the supplied charger to charge the included battery. See “Charging
the Battery Pack” on page 11.
• Never leave batteries to charge unattended.
• Remove the battery from the model while charging.
• Always unplug the battery from the electronic speed control when the
model is not in use and when it is being stored or transported.
• Allow the battery pack to cool off between runs (before charging).
• Do not use battery packs that have been damaged in any way.
• Do not use battery packs that have damaged wiring, exposed wiring, or
a damaged connector.
• Children should have responsible adult supervision when charging and
handling batteries.
