EnginE WarningS

  Never  use  any  fuel  in  your  engine  other  than  glow  fuels 

specifically  designed  for  use  in  model  car  engines.  Use  of  any 

other  types  of  fuel  can  cause  severe  damage  to  your  engine 
and/or  personal  injury. 

nEVEr  USE  gaSoLinE/PETroL  or 

DiESEL fUEL!

  Never  operate  your  model  on  any  public  streets.  This  could 

cause traffic accidents, personal injury or property damage.

  Glow  fuel  engines  emit  exhaust  vapours  that  are  poisonous 

and  can  be  dangerous  to  your  health.  It  is  important  that  you 
operate  your  engine  in  a  very  well-ventilated  area,  preferably 
outdoors.

  Before starting your engine, make sure that the throttle trim is 

set to the idle position. Starting your engine at any setting above 
idle can cause the model to lurch out of your hands.

  When  your  engine  is  running,  there  are  certain  parts  that 

rotate  at  high  speeds.  Be  careful  not  to  touch  the  drive  shafts, 
gears,  clutch  assembly  or  any  other  moving  parts.  Otherwise, 
serious injury could result.

  It  is  normal  for  your  engine  and  tuned  pipe  to  get  very  hot 

during  operation.  Never  touch  these  parts  while  they  are  hot 
or you could be burned.

  Model  car  engines  produce  vibration  when  they  are  running. 

It is important to periodically check the engine mounting screws 
and  other  assemblies  to  ensure  they  are  tight.  Running  your 
engine with the engine mounting screws loose can lead to severe 
engine and/or chassis damage.

fUEL WarningS

  Glow fuels like those used in your model are poisonous. Follow 

all  the  precautions  that  are  printed  on  the  fuel  manufacturer's 
container.

  Keep glow fuel out of the reach of children. 

  Glow fuel is extremely flammable. Keep away from high heat, 

sparks and flame.

gEnEraL WarningS

  Under  no  circumstances  should  you  operate  your  model  in 

crowds of people. Serious injury could result.

  Never  operate  your  model  on  busy  streets  or  if  there  are 

cars around.

  Do not use your model to chase pets or other animals.

  The receiver and battery boxes are not waterproof; therefore, 

do not drive through water, wet grass, mud or snow.

  Because your model is operated by radio control, it is important 

to  make  sure  you  always  are  using  fresh  and/or  fully  charged 
batteries. Never allow the batteries to run low or you could lose 
control of the model.

  If  your  model  becomes  stuck,  allow  the  engine  to  idle,  then 

retrieve your model by hand.

  To prevent excessive r.p.m. from damaging your engine and/or 

drivetrain  components,  we  suggest  reducing  throttle  while  in 
the air during jumps.
