You can operate your Vortex indoors or outdoors. The Vortex is designed to operate in most
rugged conditions and terrains. Do not operate your Vortex on roads or any areas where there are cars. Operating your Vortex
on roads or any areas with cars is extremely dangerous and most likely illegal! The Vortex is not water resistant. Do not operate
your Vortex in any wet conditions, mud, puddles, rain or any other form of precipitation or harsh weather. The Vortex has open
Cooling Vents in some strategic locations. If water gets into these Cooling Vents, the Vortex could sustain damage which would
not be covered under warranty. If operating your Vortex indoors, be careful to avoid contact with any objects such as furniture,
plants, electronics, and any other items which can break easily. The Vortex is capable of some relatively high speed stunts and
could easily damage some household objects. Avoid operating your Vortex around pets or people, and especially crowds. If the
Vortex is stepped on or otherwise crushed, it will sustain damage that would not be covered under warranty. Ensure that people
around you are aware that you are playing with your Vortex. Be aware of changes in your operational environment and play safe!
The radio control range of your Vortex is up to 80’ (24 M), and varies depending on interference within the operational
environment. WARNING: The relatively high speed stunts of the Vortex are capable of damaging or injuring plants, furniture,
pets or people so play carefully.

For Vehicle (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2)
1. Switch OFF the power.
2. Unscrew the screw on the battery cover.
3. Open the battery cover.
4. Install a new 11.1V battery pack with
correct polarities (+/-) as shown inside the
battery compartment.
5. Close the battery cover.
6. Tighten the screw on the battery cover.
For Transmitter
(Fig. 3 and Fig. 4)
1. Switch OFF the power.
2. Slide to open the battery cover.
3. Install 1 new 9V battery with correct
polarity (+/-) as shown inside the
battery compartment.
4. Close the battery cover.
5. Tighten the screw on the battery cover.
1. Attach the Tire Inflation Needle (included) to any standard
air pump (included).
2. Gently insert the Tire Inflation Needle into the Tire Inflation
Point on one of theTires (as shown).
3. Position the cardboard Tire Inflation Gauge Template
(Included with the Vortex) on the tire to ensure that the Tire
is fully inflated to the proper size. Inflate the Tire so that
the outer rim of the Tire touches the inner edge of the Tire
Inflation Gauge Template.
4. Once the Tire is fully inflated, disconnect the Tire Inflation
Needle from the Tire by pulling it out, and remove the Tire
Inflation Gauge Template. Repeat these steps on the other
3 Tires until all 4 Tires are inflated to the exact same size.
The Vortex is designed to operate
properly when the tires are fully
inflated and have the same diameter.
The Tire Inflation Gauge Template is
a handy tool to ensure that your tires
are properly inflated. For the
Squeeler to operate properly, the
Tires need to have a maximum
diameter of 6.1" (155 MM).
Underinflated tires may cause the
body of the Squeeler to contact the
ground and the body may become
scratched or damaged. Overinflated
tires may cause the Squeeler to
bounce uncontrollably or
for the Tires to
physically conflict
with the body.
Inflating the
tires is fun
and easy so
inflate the
tires fully as
specified to
avoid
damage!
