•
If the vehicle is not going to be used for a month or so,
the fuel should be drained from the tank and then the
engine run until all excess fuel is used. Leaving fuel in the
vehicle for extended periods of time can cause
premature wear to parts.
•
Do not operate the vehicle indoors or in an area with
poor ventilation.
•
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Keep it away from open
flame, excessive heat or sparks. Do not smoke while
operating the FireHammer.
•
This engine was designed for R/C cars and should not be
used for any other purpose.
•
Avoid working over a deep pile carpet. If you drop a small
part or screw, it will be difficult to find.
•
Place a mat or towel over your work surface.This will prevent
parts from rolling off and will protect the work surface.
•
Avoid running the buggy in cold weather. The plastic and
metal parts can become brittle at low temperatures. In
addition, grease and oil become thick, causing premature
wear and poor performance.
•
Test fit all parts before attaching them permanently.
