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 the engine and/or
personal injury.  

NEVER USE GASOLINE 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 vapors 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 the engine, make sure that the throttle trim is

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

When the 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 the engine, exhaust header and tuned pipe to

get very hot during operation.  Never touch these parts while
they are hot or you might 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 the
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 Mammoth RTR Nitro

Monster Truck are poisonous.  Follow all the precautions that
are printed on the fuel manufacturer's container.

Keep 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 radio system included in your model is 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.'s from damaging the engine and/or

drive-train components, we suggest reducing throttle while in the
air during jumps.

If you should have any trouble with any of the steps listed in this Operations Guide, we have provided an extensive troubleshooting guide
beginning on page # 16.  The troubleshooting guide is provided to help you find a quick and immediate resolution to a number of
problems that might occur.  If you cannot solve a problem using the troubleshooting guide, or if you have any other questions or
concerns, please contact us at the address below:
