Safety Notes
Sufficient cooling is necessary to avoid
temperature problems of the ESC.
Never plug off battery from KOBY ESC as long
as motor is running.
Do not attach ESC with cable ties or similar.
Electronic parts may be damaged.
As soon as a battery and a motor are connected
to the ESC the motor may start (e.g. by
operating error or electric defect)
A motor (especially with propeller) or broken
parts can cause considerable injuries.
Use of this ESC is only permitted in situations in
which damage of objects and injuries to persons
are excluded.
Under no circumstances use a damaged ESC
(e.g. by mechanical or electric influences, by
moisture, a.s.o.). Further use may result in a
sudden failure of the ESC.
The ESC may only be supplied by NiCd, NiMH,
LiPo, LiFePo or lead batteries. A use of power
supply units is not permissible. Any contact to
the AC network is prohibited. When used with
high capacity batteries sufficient cooling must be
guaranteed.
The ESC can only be used in environments in
which no discharge of static electricity occurs.
Do not extend motor cables or battery cables.
Otherwise compliance with legal rules is not
!
