OPERATING SAFETY RULES
Select a SAFE place to operate your vehicle. Do not drive in the street. Avoid driving on SAND or through
puddles of WATER. These hazards can impair performance. Check the surface ahead of you and watch for
obstacles. The radio receiver in your vehicle and transmitter are sensitive instruments. Do not leave Vehicle or
Transmitter near sources of HEAT or under DIRECT SUNLIGHT for long periods of time.
Avoid leaving Vehicle or Transmitter OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT.
NIGHT DAMPNESS IS HARMFUL to INTERIOR MECHANISM.
DO NOT try to take apart or remodel any of the parts.
RADIO INTERFERENCE: Sometimes erratic behavior or loss of control of vehicle is
the result of interference caused by high tension wires, high voltage transformers
certain types of building, concrete walls or narrow places where RADIO SIGNALS
sent from your transmitter MAY BE SCATTERED thus making it DIFFICULT for your
vehicle to receive a GOOD RADIO SIGNAL. If you encounter this type of behavior or
loss of control, CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION.
You will encounter INTERFERENCE if ANOTHER radio controlled vehicle or CB
radio is operating in the vicinity on your SAME FREQUENCY.
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR COMPLI-
ANCE COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.
(To prevent unnecessary power loss)
The transmitter power is automatically turned ON when the speed control push button is operated either to the
forward running or reverse running positions. When the button is returned to the neutral position, the trans-
mitter power is turned OFF. When the transmitter power is turned OFF, the vehicle can be jammed by other
transceiver radio waves and start to move abnormally.
HOW TO PLAY
1. Turn ON the vehicle.
2. Operate the vehicle with transmitter.
3. Turn OFF the vehicle after operating.
4. Remove all the batteries both from the vehicle and the transmitter.
* Please follow the above sequence of operation.
ON/OFF switch
When the vehicle slows down or starts moving erratically, replace all the vehicle's batteries with fresh ones.
You can control the vehicle at a longer distance by holding the transmitter higher with the antenna straight
up.
