IMPORTANT NOTES – GENERAL
• This product is not suitable for children under 16 years of age without the
direct supervision of a responsible and knowledgeable adult.
• Carefully read all manufacturers warnings and cautions for any parts used in
the construction and use of your model.
• Assemble this kit only in places away from the reach of very small children.
• First-time builders and users should seek advice from people who have
building experience in order to assemble the model correctly and to allow the
model to reach its performance potential.
• Exercise care when using tools and sharp instruments.
• Take care when building, as some parts may have sharp edges.
• Keep small parts out of reach of small children. Children must not be allowed
to put any parts in their mouth, or pull vinyl bag over their head.
• Read and follow instructions supplied with paints and/or cement, if used (not
included in kit).
• Immediately after using your model, do NOT touch equipment on the
model such as the motor and speed controller, because they generate high
temperatures. You may seriously burn yourself seriously touching them.
• Follow the operating instructions for the radio equipment at all times.
• Do not put fingers or any objects inside rotating and moving parts, as this
may cause damage or serious injury as your finger, hair, clothes, etc. may get
caught.
• Be sure that your operating frequency is clear before turning on or running
your model, and never share the same frequency with somebody else at the
same time. Ensure that others are aware of the operating frequency you are
using and when you are using it.
• Use a transmitter designed for ground use with RC cars. Make sure that no
one else is using the same frequency as yours in your operating area. Using
the same frequency at the same time, whether it is driving, flying or sailing,
can cause loss of control of the RC model, resulting in a serious accident.
• Always turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver in the car.
Always turn off the receiver before turning your transmitter off.
• Keep the wheels of the model off the ground when checking the operation of
the radio equipment.
• Disconnect the battery pack before storing your model.
• When learning to operate your model, go to an area that has no obstacles
that can damage your model if your model suffers a collision.
• Remove any sand, mud, dirt, grass or water before putting your model away.
• If the model behaves strangely, immediately stop the model, check and clear
the problem.
• To prevent any serious personal injury and/or damage to property, be
responsible when operating all remote controlled models.
• The model car is not intended for use on public places and roads or areas where
its operation can conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
• Because the model car is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference
from many sources that are beyond your control. Since radio interference can
cause momentary loss of control, always allow a safety margin in all directions
around the model in order to prevent collisions.
• Do not use your model:
- Near real cars, animals, or people that are unaware that an RC car is being
driven.
- In places where children and people gather
- In residential districts and parks
- In limited indoor spaces
- In wet conditions
- In the street
- In areas where loud noises can disturb others, such as hospitals and
residential areas.
