Safety Instructions and Intended Use

This product is designed exclusively for hobby use and may only be used on tracks and areas intended for this purpose.

No persons or animals may be transported with this model.

To avoid operator errors, it is mandatory that the user manual is read before use!

These models may only be used with bodywork that is correctly fitted.

When removing the bodywork, please note that, during operation, certain parts can become very hot.

Please note that various models can generate very high noise levels and should, therefore, not be operated in your immediate proximity.

Please make sure, before every driving session, that the tank is correctly closed or the power pack is correctly inserted.

To avoid faulty operation of the control system causing the model to run out of control, it must be checked that the transmitter and model batteries are in good condition.

It is essential to check that the model is correctly assembled both before and after use; if need be, tighten nuts and bolts.

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-assembled, 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.
• Before starting, check the radio range.
- Check that the model reacts correctly to the control signals.
- All functional parts of the product are in a faultless condition and have been checked.
• All screw fastenings are firmly seated.
- Do not drive under high-voltage power lines or radio masts or with nearby thunderstorms!
• Atmospheric interference can influence the operation of your model.
- The electrical parts of the model are not water-tight. Do not, therefore, drive it in rain or snow or through puddles or wet grass.
- The remote controlled model may be driven only on suitable areas and must not be used on the public highway.
• Do not use near people or animals!
- Do not use it when tired or if your reactions are otherwise impaired.
• Always maintain direct visual contact with your model.
- Regular maintenance and care are required for first class driving performance.
- The model has parts that become hot in operation, e.g. the top of the motor, the metal gearbox, amongst many others. Touching these parts during operation can cause injury.

Pay attention to the charge level indication on your transmitter.

• With power packs or batteries that are half discharged, you can lose control of the model.
• In the transmitter, never mix fully charged batteries, rechargeable or not, with half discharged batteries or rechargeable batteries of different capacity.
• Never try to charge non-rechargeable batteries (dry cells), only batteries specified as rechargeable can be charged.

Beware:

For charging the battery, only use the recommended charger. Please consider the advice of the enclosed instructions.

Charging procedure:

1 Connect the charger using the power lead supplied.
2 Connect it to a standard 100-240V socket. If all of the LEDs flash alternately for one second, the charger is ready to use.
3 Now connect the battery pack to the charger using the XHP balancer plug.
4 The charging process has now started.
5 The charger has a charging indicator lamp with four LEDs to indicate the status.

1st LED – battery pack has 25% capacity,

2nd LED - 50%,

3rd LED 75%. If all four LEDs glow, the battery pack is fully charged.

Error indication:

All four LEDs flash during the charging process (please check your battery pack).
