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 suitable drive batteries for the vehicle. Never operate the speed controller with a mains adapter,
not even for test purposes.
• This vehicle is suitable only for use with a LiPo drive battery with 2 cells (nominal voltage of drive battery
7.4 V) or NiMH drive battery with 6 cells (nominal voltage 7.2 V).
When using a drive battery with more cells, there is a danger of fire from overheating of the speed
controller. Apart from this, the vehicle's drive will be overloaded and damaged by this (e.g. differential).
Loss of guarantee/warranty!
• Before connecting a drive battery to the speed controller, the speed controller must be switched to the
right rechargeable battery type (LiPo or NiMH) by jumper.
• Always switch on the transmitter first when taking the vehicle into operation. Only then must the vehicle's
drive battery 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 the speed controller to the right rechargeable battery type (LiPo or NiMH) by jumper.
- 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 drive does not work as desired, observe the chapter 14.
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!
