Charging the aluminium glow plug connector
•
Before first use, the rechargeable battery in the glow plug connector must be charged using
the USB charger provided. A glow plug-shaped connector on the charging cable is provided
for this purpose.
• Remove the protective cap on the top of the glow plug attachment (3).
• Hold the aluminium glow plug connector like an injection syringe and pull the attachment
backwards using the finger support ring (4).
• You should now be able to see gripping tongs, into which you can slide the connector plug.
• The hexagonal contact element should be completely enclosed by the gripping tongs. Allow
the plug attachment to slide forwards again with the force of the built-in spring.
• Connect the USB charger to a suitable USB power supply. The indicator light (2) signals
the charging status. Red indicates that the battery is charging, while green indicates that
charging is complete.
Using the glow plug connector with your model
To avoid overloading the battery due to excessive heating times, you should check
that the remote control and model vehicle are functioning properly before heating
the glow plug. Draw a sufficient amount of fuel into the engine, e.g. by closing the
carburettor or pulling the choke valve.
•
Pull the glow plug attachment (3) backwards with the finger support ring (4) and place the
glow plug connector with the gripping tongs onto the glow plug in a vertical position. Then
let the glow plug attachment (3) slide forwards again by releasing the finger support ring (4).
You can now start the engine.
If the glow plug is intact, the indicator on the measuring indicator should be in the
green zone. The exact position depends on the type of glow plug. If the glow plug is
disconnected, the pointer will not move. In the event of a short circuit, the pointer will
move to the maximum position in the green zone. If the pointer stays in the red zone
when the glow plug is heating, this indicates that the battery must be recharged.
• Remove the glow plug connector when the engine has performed a clean rotation at a high
idle speed.
• After use, place the protective cap back onto the tip of the glow plug attachment (3).
Care and cleaning
