Batteries and Charger Required (6V Battery Pack and Charger included only with Edge Runner model no.
2341; not included with model no. 2340 and 2342. Retailer decides which version to carry. )
1. 6.0-Volt Rechargeable Nicd or NiMH Battery Pack (commonly available for R/C vehicles at many toy and hobby
dealers). For longer run time, use high-capacity 'NiMH" (Nickel-Metal Hydride) or "NiCd" (Nickel-Cadmium) battery
packs with highest ‘mAh" rating number (650mAh or higher).
2. Matching Battery charger for NiMH or Nicd Battery Packs. (Adult supervision of recharging is recommended)
3. One 9-Volt Alkaline Battery for Transmitter required (not rechargeable).
IMPORTANT BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
Battery Cautions
CAUTION: TO AVOID BATTERY LEAKAGE
~ Make sure the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity and follow the toy and battery manufacturers'
instructions.
- Do not mix old and new batteries.
~ Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel»cadmium, nickel-metal hydride) batteries, or
different types of rechargeable batteries.
- Remove weak or exhausted batteries from the product. Remove batteries from prgguct when not in use.
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
- An adult should help with battery replacement.
- Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended in the "Battery Installation" (or replacement)
instructions are to be used. “We
~ Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. '
- If removable rechargeable batteries are used, they are only to be charged under adult supervision.
' Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the product before they are charged.
- if you use a battery charger, it should be examined regularly for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts.
Do not use a damaged battery charger until it has been properly repaired.
- Dispose of batteries safely and properly.
- Do not short~circuit battery terminals. @
NOTE: NICKEL CADMIUM BATTERIES MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY. .
Contact your local area office of solid waste management or other appropriate local agency for information. N"Cd
Handling Edgenunnefl
Always pick up and hold your EdgeRunner vehicle from the back as shown, or
from the front and back with both hands. Keep hair, hands, fingers, face and loose
clothing away from wheels while the vehicle is switched on or while the trans-
mitter is operating. Never pick up by the wheels. (Fig. 1)
Battery charging and Care
Vehicle will not run without a 6.0V rechargeable NiCd or NiMH battery pack and
matching charger, commonly available for R/C vehicles at many toy and hobby
dealers. Always follow the instructions that came with your battery pack and
recharger. Adult supervision of battery charging is required.
Drain Down — cool Down — Charge Up
1. For best performance, run battery pack all the way down before recharging,
Run until wheels slow to a stop.
2. Allow the battery pack to cool before recharging.
3. Charge fully according to the battery/charger manufacturer's instructions.
Charging times differ with different types, brands, models, ages and conditions
of battery packs and chargers. The first few charges of a new battery will provide
shorter run times than later charges.
Battery Heat
1. Battery gets hot after use! This is normal, but be careful. Wait until battery is cool (20 minutes or more if needed)
before charging. Charging batteries when they are hot will severely reduce the number of times they can be recharged.
2. After charging, battery pack will be warm. This is normal.
Running and Charging Times
1. NiCd and NiMH battery packs are not like alkaline batteries. They lose all their power
suddenly, not gradually, and vehicle will stop very soon after slowing down becomes
noticeable, with little warning. This is normal.
2. Typical running time will be between 9 to 15 minutes for a typical freshly charged
NiCd battery pack in good condition, depending on how you operate your vehicle, but
observe how long your battery runs in yourvehicle under the conditions you operate in. LATcH
Running time may vary over life of battery, with the first 6 charge cycles yielding BATTERV
significantly shorter run times than later charges. "Cycle“ your battery (Drain Down/ BOX
Cool Down/Charge Up) at least 6 times before evaluating run time.
Battery Installation
The 6.0V battery pack drops into the open battery box on the bottom of the vehicle. You
then slide the pack toward the rear of the vehicle and turn the latch to secure it.
1. Turn BATTERY LATCH on the bottom of the vehicle clockwise to open position.
(Fig. 2)
2. Drop fully charged BATTERY PACK straight into BATTERY OPENING with ARROW on
BATTERY PACK pointing AWAY from LATCH. (Fig. 3)
3. Slide BATTERY PACK all the way in direction of ARROW (toward back of vehicle) until it stops. (Fig. 4)
4. Turn LATCH all the way to CLOSED position to secure BATTERY PACK inside BATTERY OPENING. (Fig. 5)
Transmitter Battery Installation
1. Slide open BATTERY DOOR on back
of TRANSMITTER. (Fig. 6)
2. Insert afresh, new 9»VOLT ALKALINE
BATTERY with the polarity (+/») as shown
on the bottom of battery compartment.
(Fig. 7)
3. Hold battery in place with thumb and
replace BATTERY DOOR. (Fig. 8)
4. Check fortransmitter operation by
looking for the red "POWER ON" LIGHT
on front to light when a JOYSTICK is
pushed. If LIGHT does not come on,
check battery polarity. If LIGHT still
does not light, install a brand-new battery.

RIC Facts for Improved Operation
1. When battery start to fully discharge, vehicle may slow, stop, or refuse to respond to your control. It's time to
recharge vehicle battery or replace transmitter battery. This is absolutely the #1 cause of all problems and questions!
2. Radio frequency interference can interfere with the control of your vehicle. Buildings, power wires, other R/C
transmitters, or CB radio can all cause problems. Pick a place to drive that‘s away from these things.
3. Hold Transmitter so antenna points up, not toward the vehicle. Keep vehicle within range (about 65 feet) to keep
control. If vehicle goes out of range, try lifting transmitter high into airto increase range for vehicle recovery.
4. Wipe vehicle clean and dry after each use, including inside battery compartments.
5. Turn vehicle power switch off immediately after running. Remove batteries for storing. Keep vehicle and Transmitter
away from heat and direct sunlight and moisture.

else that it could come in contact with. Make sure there is also a safe location for you to stand while you operate your
vehicle.
2. Choose an area with lots of open space that is flat, smooth and clean.
3. Always have proper permission to use the location and obey all signs, regulations and laws.
4. Use a skateboard halfpipe only with permission and only when no skateboarders are on it.
5. An adult should supervise the construction of a jump ramp.
6. Be careful when performing ramp jumps. Make sure no people or pets are near the ramp.
7. Clean up when finished. Do not leave ramps or your other materials behind.
8. When in doubt, ask local authorities if it‘s OK to use the location. v
EdgeI-‘Iunner Stunt Tips
1. Start with a fully charged battery pack and a fresh, new alkaline battery in the transmitter. Bring along additional
charged battery packs and alkaline batteries for longer stunt sessions. (ev Battery Pack and Charger included only with
Edge Runner model no. 2341; not included with model no. 2340 and 2342. Retailer decides which version to carry. )
2. Stunts are rated for difficulty (1=easiest). Start with easier stunts and work your way up to the difficult ones.

EdgeflunneriM Stunt Tips, Continued
3. Some stunts require a ramp, which you need to supply, You can build your own (Adult Supervision Required),
Suggested materials for a simple ramp include a 1/4-inch plywood board la suggested size might be 4' x 4‘) propped Up
to a 20° angle with a 1" or thicker piece of wood or other material (4' wide by about 18" tall in our example) as shown,
4. Some of the stunts will work best on
particular surfaces.
Low Grip Surfaces are best
for stunts that require spins and other
maneuvers Where it‘s best for the wheels to
slip rather than grip. Examples include tile or
wood floors, smooth concrete or sealed asphalt.
High Grip Suriaces are best for stunts that
require abrupt changes of direction where
the wheels need good grip, Examples include
asphalt or concrete that are slightly rough or
have had material like gravel added to them
before pouring for more traction,
All surfaces should be smooth, clean and free
of debris.
5, "Pulsing" the Sticks: To pulse the sticks,
quickly move both sticks up (forward) together
