b) Commissioning
The manual for the remote control system is included separately. Always observe all safety information
included in it as well as any other information!
• Only use a suitable drive batteries for the vehicle. Never operate the speed controller with a mains adapter, not even
for test purposes.
This vehicle is exclusively suitable for use with a LiPo drive battery with 3 cells (rated voltage 11.1 V).
When using a drive battery with more cells, there is a danger of fire from overheating of the speed control-
ler. Apart from this, the vehicle's drive will be overloaded and damaged by this (e.g. differential). Loss of
guarantee/warranty!
• When putting the device into operation, always turn on the transmitter first. Only then must the vehicle's drive bat-
tery be connected with the speed controller and the speed controller switched on. Otherwise, the vehicle may show
unpredictable responses!
Proceed as follows:
• Place the vehicle on an appropriate support before connecting the drive battery so that the wheels can
turn freely.
• Switch off the speed controller.
• Switch on the transmitter if you haven't done it already. Check its function (e.g. operation display of the
transmitter).
• Put the trimming for the throttle/brake function at the transmitter into the centre position.
• Connect a fully charged drive battery to the speed controller in the correct polarity (red cable = plus/+,
black cable = minus/-).
• Now switch on the speed controller. Wait for a few seconds until the speed controller has completed its
self-test.
• Check that the vehicle reacts to remote control commands as expected (steering and drive) before taking it from the
support and placing it on the ground with its wheels.
• If the vehicle does not work as desired, observe chapter 13.
c) Driving the Vehicle
• Improper operation may cause serious injury and property damage! Only drive with the model directly in view. This
is why you shouldn't drive at night.
• Only drive when your ability to react is unrestricted. Tiredness or the influence of alcohol or medication can cause
incorrect responses, just as with real vehicles.
• Please note that this model vehicle must not be driven on public roads, places or streets. Also do not operate it on
private grounds without the owner's permission.
• Never drive towards animals or people!
• Avoid driving at very low outdoor temperatures. Plastic parts lose elasticity, which may lead to damage even in a
light accident.
• Do not drive in the case of a thunderstorm, under high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio masts.
• Leave the transmitter on while the vehicle is in operation.
