Declaration of conformityGB // 16

Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries (accumulators) are energy storage devices with a high energy density and can present risks. For this reason, particular care is needed when charging, discharging, storing and handling. Read these instructions very carefully before first using the battery. Do not fail to take note of the warning notices and instructions for use. Misuse can lead to risks such as explosion, overheating or fire. Failure to observe the instructions for use leads to early failure and other defects. The instructions should therefore be kept in a safe place and it is essential that they are handed over to the second user if the batteries are passed on.

• Avoid short-circuits. A short-circuit may well destroy the product. Cables and connections must be well insulated.

• It is essential when connecting the battery to ensure that the polarity is correct.

• Original plug connectors and cables may not be cut off or changed (if need be, use an adapter cable).

• Do not expose the battery to excessive heat or cold or to direct sunlight. Do not throw in the fire. Do not place the battery in contact with water or other liquids.

• Charge the battery only with charging units intended for the purpose. Before charging, always first allow the battery to cool to ambient temperature. Never charge while hot.

• When charging, place the battery on a non-flammable, heat- resistant support. There should be no flammable or readily ignited objects in the vicinity of the battery.

• During charging or operation, never leave the battery unsupervised.

• Do not fail to keep to the recommended charge/discharge current. Under no circumstances exceed these maxim values.

• The battery casing must not be damaged. It is essential to avoid damage by sharp objects such as knives or the like, from dropping, impact, bending etc. Damaged batteries may no longer be used.

• Batteries are not toys. They should be kept away from children.

3. Charging instructions

Before they are first used, NiMH batteries must always be charged. The first charge should not be carried out in rapid charge mode, otherwise the battery may not reach its full capacity. We recommend a charging current of 1/10 of its capacity, i.e. charging at the 10-hour rate.. The maximum charging current for the battery is 1C (C=nominal capacity of the battery, e.g. for a battery with a nominal capacity of 2700 mA, the maximum charging current for the battery is 2700 mA (2.7 A)). Exact information for the charging current will be marked on the battery. Charging should be stopped immediately if there is a significant rise in battery temperature. !! Completely avoid deep discharge - in no event should the cell voltage be allowed to fall below 0.9 V. It is not necessary to always fully discharge the battery before each charge. Occasionally (e.g. after every 10th charge), however, or if it has not been used for a long time, it should be discharged before charging. Never charge several batteries together from a single charger. Differing states of charge and capacities can lead to overcharging and destruction.

4. Storage instructions

Batteries should never be stored at too high a temperature, otherwise accelerated self-discharge will occur. Cool and dry storage conditions are also important to avoid contact corrosion, which leads to poor contact and high contact resistance. Batteries should never be stored fully discharged.

5. General terms of guarantee

There is a legal guarantee for production and material faults as applicable at the time of dispatch. No liability is accepted for normal wear and tear. This guarantee does not apply for defects attributable to improper use, inadequate maintenance, third-party interference or mechanical damage. This applies, in particular, to used batteries and batteries clearly showing signs of use. Damage and loss of performance due to improper handling and/ or overload are not product faults. Batteries are consumables and subject to a certain ageing. This is influenced by factors such as the charge/discharge currents, the charging procedure, the operating and storage temperatures and the state of charge during storage. The ageing shows itself in, among other things, an irreversible loss of capacity. In the model field, where batteries are frequently used to supply motors, very high currents can flow from time to time.

6. Exclusion of liability

Since we are unable to have any control over charge/discharge, handling, compliance with assembly and operating instructions, battery replacement and its care and maintenance, Tamiya / Carson can accept no liability for loss, damage or costs incurred. Any claim for damages that may result from operation, failure or faulty operation or that is in any way related thereto will therefore be refused. We accept no liability for personal injury or material damage and their consequences that arise from our delivery.

7. Disposal instructions

Batteries are hazardous waste. Damaged or unusable cells must be disposed of in the correct manner. No liability for printing errors, we reserve the right to make changes!

This model is not a toy!

• This product is not a toy, its operation must be learned step by step.

• Children under 14 years of age should operate the model only if supervised by an adult. Operating RC models is a fascinating hobby that, however, must only be exercised with proper precautions and care. Since the weight of this model is considerable and it can reach a very high speed it can, if it runs out of control, cause significant damage and injury for which you, as the operator, are liable. Only a correctly assembled model will work and react as expected. Never improvise with unsuitable materials but, when the need arises, use only original spare parts. Even if the model is pre-as- sembled, all joints and fastenings should be checked for correct seating and tightness. Before use, you must make sure of the following points:

• All rechargeable batteries must be fully charged.

1. Starting the engine

Each time the engine is started, first check that the air filter is cor- rectly and securely seated. The basic setting of the engine is adju- sted in the factory. the fuel mixture should be 1:25 = 4% 2-stroke oil (5 l fuel/200 ml oil). Suitable fuel: Super or Superplus petrol.

2. Starting a cold engine

Close the throttle lever or place it in the idle position. Close the choke flap on the carburettor. Now press the priming pump on the carburettor until it is filled with fuel. Pull out the pull starter until the first resistance is felt and then give it a good tug until the engine is heard to fire. As a rule the motor will stop after firing for the first time. Now open the choke flap and pull on the starter again until the engine runs. To stop the engine, press the ignition interrupt / OFF switch until the engine remains stopped. Operating the pull starter

3. Starting a hot engine

Leave the choke flap open. Press the priming pump and pull on the starter. To stop the engine, press the OFF switch until the engine remains stopped. WARNING! Only keep the engine at maximum speed for a short time with no load. In most cases, the idle stop screw will need to be readjusted if the idle mixture screw 1 or the full load mixture screw 2 has been adjusted.

4. Carburettor settings

The carburettor is factory adjusted for local conditions. Depending on the air filter, silencer and and place of use, a correction may be required. Drive the model to bring the engine up to its working temperature. If there is some delay in engine acceleration, it is running too lean. In this case, turn the idle mixture screw somewhat anti-clockwise. If the engine only comes up to speed slowly, with stuttering and smoky exhaust, it is probably running too rich, i.e. the idle mixture screw 1 should be turned somewhat clockwise. To set the maximum engine speed, lift the rear wheels and, with the engine hot, fully open the throttle briefly. You can now turn the full load mixture screw 2 anti-clockwise if the mixture is too lean or clockwise if the mixture is too rich. Idle setting screw Full load mixture screw Idle mixture screw

5. Basic carburettor settings

The values given are guide values. In some cases, readjustment is required. If you have the feeling that the idle mixture screw 1 and/ or the full load mixture screw 2 are completely misadjusted, then turn both setting screws 1 + 2 carefully clockwise as far as they will go. Then turn the setting screws anti-clockwise according to the following values. 1 idle mixture screw 1 turn 2 full load mixture screw 1.25 turns The first and second times the tank is filled, avoid running at maxi- mum speed with no load and running at full throttle on car parks. The first time the model is used, a range test with the radio control should be carried out with the engine running. Never run the engine in enclosed spaces with inadequate ventila- tion. Further safety instructions are included with the engine. Clean with soap and water. Be sure to rinse from inside filter to outside. After drying reapply air filter oil. To re-coat the air filter with oil, place the element in a plastic bag with several drops of air filter oil. Using your fingers, work the oil into the element making sure it is evenly distributed.
