10. Getting started with the model vehicle
Followexactlytheproceduredescribedbelowtoensurethatthevehicledoesnotmakeuncontrolledmovements
during commissioning.
Just like the drive rechargeable battery, the batteries or rechargeable batteries in the transmitter must be full or fully
charged.
Removethefourchassisclipsandloosenthetwosidexingstrips.Thenliftthechassisupwardsoffthechassis
mounts.
Insertthechargeddriverechargeablebatteryintothebatterycompartmentandsecureitwiththexingloop.
Switch on the remote control transmitter.
Connect the drive rechargeable battery to the speed controller. If the speed controller has an additional on/off switch,
turn it on.
Check the steering function and the driving function. Place the model on a suitable base or service stand so that the
wheels can turn freely.
Replace the chassis on the chassis mounts and insert the chassis clips into the holes on the mounts.
Forthersttestdrive,chooseasuitableterrainsothatthemodeldoesnothitanobstacleimmediatelyintheeventof
a control error and thus become damaged.
Start carefully until you get used to the driving behaviour of the vehicle.
Afterthedrive,rstdisconnectthedriverechargeablebatteryfromthespeedcontrollerandthenswitchofftheremote
control.
Important!
Never switch off the transmitter when the drive rechargeable battery is connected to the model or the model
is turned on.
11. Maintenance and cleaning
a) General information
Before cleaning or maintenance, turn off the speed controller and completely disconnect the drive rechargeable bat-
tery. Allow all parts to cool down completely (e.g. motor and speed controller).
Afteryouhavenishedusingthevehicle,removealldustanddirt(e.g.usingacleanlong-hairedbrushandavacuum
cleaner). Compressed air sprays are also a good option. Do not use cleaning sprays or conventional household clean-
ing chemicals. These may damage the electronic components and discolour the plastic parts or chassis.
Never wash the vehicle with water, e.g. with a high-pressure cleaner. It destroys the motor, the speed controller and
the receiver. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the chassis. Do not rub too hard, as this may result in scratch
marks.
