STARTING THE ENGINE 發動引擎
a. Turn on the radio (transmitter first, then receiver).
b. Clip the glow plug igniter onto engine's glow plug.
c. Pull on the engine starter, release, repeat until the engine starts. Throttle maybe required to be opened momentarily, but release
back to neutral immediately after it starts.
Remove the glow plug igniter from engine after engine has started and warmed up. If the engine stops right after the igniter is
removed, the carburetor setting is too rich. Please refer to engine setting section.
If engine starter becomes hard to pull, the engine maybe flooded. To unflood an engine, remove the glow plug from engine, flip the
car upside down, and pull on the starter to release excess fuel. Then, reinstall the glow plug and repeat the engine starting procedure.
a. 打開遙控器電源(先打開發射機電源，再開接收機電源)。
b. 將電夾接上引擎的火星塞。
c. 拉動手拉器啟動引擎。油門 微調可稍微提高 一些，方便引擎的 啟動。注意：手拉器拉出之長度必 須保持在20~35公分之內，不可
超過35公分，避免將手拉器繩索拉出過長，造成損壞。
當引擎發動達到工作溫度後，將電夾移開。假如引擎立刻熄火，表示引擎設定過於富油，請參考引擎設定單元，調整出最佳設定。
假如引擎很難拉動，甚至拉不動，表示引擎已呈現積油狀態，請先將火星塞拆下，拉動手拉器數次，排油後裝回火星塞，重新啟動引擎。

TWO-SPEED ADJUSTMENT 兩段變速之調整
a. Your car's two-speed shift point is preset at factory. It should shift into 2nd gear within 16-19 feet (5-6m) on a full-throttle, standing
start acceleration.
b. If the shift point needs to be re-adjusted, please shut down the engine. Then detach the main gear shell protector. First align the
BLACK adjustment set screw with the opening on the 2nd gear as shown on the diagram.
c. Using a 2mm Allen wrench, turn the black adjustment set screw clockwise to make the two-speed shift later; turn it counterclockwise
to make he two-speed shift earlier. Only use 1/8 turn increments whenever you adjust your two-speed. Do not screw out the
black set screw too much or it may cause set screw and spring to fall out.
d. If it is screwed in or out too much, reset the black set screw as following. First, screw in the black set screw clockwise gently
until it is fully compressed. And then turn the black set screw counter-clockwise about 4 3/4 turns. Re-attach the main gear shell
protector.
a. 車上的換檔（變速）點在出廠時即已預先調整。油門全開時，在16-19英呎（5-6公尺）內會轉入第二段齒輪然後開始加速。
b. 如果變速點需要調整時，引擎請先熄火並把齒輪保護罩先行拆開。首先，打開第二段齒輪校準黑色調整螺絲，如圖示。
c. 以2mm的L形內六角扳手轉動黑色調整螺絲：順時鐘方向轉動讓2段變速的換檔時間晚些；逆時鐘方向轉動則會提早2段變速的換
檔時間。每次調整兩段變速時，扳手轉動角度為1/8圈。若轉動的角度過大，調整螺絲及彈簧可能會因而掉落。
d. 重新安裝調整螺絲及彈簧回復原廠設定值：首先，順時鐘方向慢慢的將調整螺絲鎖入直到完全鎖緊。然後逆時鐘方向將黑色調整
螺絲轉約4 3/4圈。重新裝上齒輪保護罩。

Glow Plug Problems. 火星塞問題
The glow plug in your engine must
be replaced periodically to maintain
peak performance and easy
starting . Most starting problems
or erratic per formance can be
traced back to the glow plug. The
easiest way to check for a faulty
glow plug is to simply install a new one and see if the problem
is corrected. However, to test the glow plug, remove the glow
plug form the cylinder
head with a 8mm nut driver (make sure there is no dirt
on top of the head which could fall into the engine. Do not lose
the copper gasket which seals the glow plug.)
Connect the glow plug to the glow igniter. All of the coils should
glow bright white. Sometimes, the first few coils will not glow,
while the rest are bright orange. This indicates a bad glow
plug or low igniter battery. Try recharging the igniter, or replacing
the glow plug.
為維持引擎的性能及易於啟動，火星塞需定期更換。啟動困
難及影響引擎性能的原因，大部分都是火星塞故障，最簡單
的測試方法，就是更換新的火星塞試試看。火星塞的拆裝請
使用8mm的套筒扳手(拆裝前請先確認火星塞孔周圍是乾淨的，
火星塞墊片勿弄丟)。將火星塞接上電夾，所有的電熱絲應該
呈現炙熱的狀態。若剛夾上電夾，前幾圈電熱絲未立刻呈現
炙熱狀態，過一下子才呈現橘色亮光，這表示火星塞已故障
了或電夾沒電了，請更換火星塞或將電夾充電。
Flooding 引擎積油
Symptoms of a flooded engine include difficulty in starting,
muffled sounds coming from the exhaust, pull starter won't
operate, and excess fuel draining from the exhaust outlet.
Remove the glow plug with a 8mm nut driver and also remove
the air cleaner. Turn the car upside down and pull the starter
a couple of times to drain the excess fuel out of the engine
and carburetor. Re-install the glow plug and try starting again.
如果出現以下狀況，表示引擎積油了：啟動困難、無排氣聲
音、手拉器無法拉動、多餘未燃燒的燃油自排氣管排出。這
時候需進行排油步驟，拆下火星塞及空氣濾清器，將車子側
傾一邊，拉動手拉器幾下，將積油排出。最後，裝回火星塞
及空氣濾清器，重新啟動。
Fuel Mixture 燃油混合比
The fuel mixture is controlled by three different adjustments
on the carburetor, and should come preset from the factory
(see photos below). Your engine should
start and run slightly rich with these settings (rich is good
for break-in). Tuning Tip: Always make sure you can see
some exhaust smoke coming out of the exhaust outlet
during operation. This is a good sign that enough fuel is
getting to the engine.
燃油混合比的調整，由化油器的三個部分所控制，原廠設
定值請參考右圖所示。建議您的引擎設定值，可以此為基
準再稍微富油一些，以維持引擎壽命。引擎調整小秘訣：
永遠保持排氣管可看到白煙排出，這表示引擎是處於正常
運轉的狀態，引擎可發揮其性能又可延長壽命。

初學者請先熟悉油門操控再慢慢加快
車子行進速度。
d. If you are of unsure of the steering
direction, practice with the transmitter
facing towards you.
假設你不確定發射機的轉向，將發射
機轉輪面向自己，先熟悉左右轉向。
f. You r truck is just that, a truck .
Therefore, by design, it has a high
center of gravity and will require slower
cornering speeds to keep from rolling
over.
由於大腳卡車的底板重心高，過彎時
請謹慎控制油門，以避免速度過快而
導致失控翻覆。
I. Forward and reverse use前進後退切換

for brake) 油門與煞車之操控與車輛前進時是相同的。（扣拉板機為加油，上推板機為煞車。）
●
Stop the truck when you would like to again to return to normal driving. 欲再轉換前進方向時，請再次確認車子已經停妥並靜止
●
Press reverse button. 再次按下反轉按鈕車子即可變成正常前進
J. Your truck has a two-speed transmission. The transmission can be thought of as an automatic transmission that is designed to
shift when the truck is traveling at a certain set speed. Refer to the TWO-SPEED Adjusting section in this manual to adjust that
set point or or if your truck does appear to be shifting correctly.
本車搭配兩段變速，車上的自動換檔變速箱將依原廠設定，自動在車子達到一定速度後進行換檔行駛。（關於兩段變速之調整請參考
本說明書之兩段變速調整之章節。）
K. The electronic components on your truck are in compartments to keep them from malfunctioning because of dirt and debris build
up. The servo and compartments housing the electronics are not waterproof. Driving through water could cause damage and/or
malfunction to occur.
車上之電子遙控相關設備有可能因為沙塵或碎礫而造成失常。密封之遙控器接收機盒雖然可以防止大部分之異物之進入。但並不
保證能夠防水，行駛於潮濕積水之處，將可能造成電子遙控相關設備故障或損壞。
L. Follow all the caution tips listed in this manual and use common sense! Abusive and rough driving could result in broken parts.
請詳閱本說明書並禁止暴力操控及任何不負責任之駕駛行為，如造成任何損壞，將不在產品保固範圍內。
M. The truck can be carefully refueled while the engine is running to extend the run time.
本車引擎未停止時，可實施再加油以適度延長操控時間，惟加油時請注意加油相關安全規定。

a. To set the high speed needle: (large needle sticking out from the carburetor body), turn the screw as pictured. Initial high speed
needle setting should be 3~3.5 turns (close the needle completely, then back out 3~3.5 turns). Clockwise turn will provide leaner
setting (lower fuel to air mixture), and counterclockwise turn will provide richer setting (higher fuel to air mixture).
b. To set the carburetor idle: (small needle sticking out from the carburetor body), turn the screw as pictured. Initial idle setting
should leave 1mm carburetor gap. Clockwise turn will provide higher idle (larger carburetor opening), and counterclockwise turn
will provide lower idle (smaller carburetor opening). For more details about the engine setting, please refer to ENGINE BREAK-
IN/SETTING procedures to properly set the engine.
c. To set the low speed needle: (The low-speed mixture screw is located in the end of the carburetor). turn the screw as pictured.
This screw controls how much fuel enters the engine at idle and low throttle. This adjustment will smooth the idle and improve
the acceleration to mid speed. Make this adjustment with the throttle closed, after setting the idle. Turn the screw clockwise gently
until it bottoms out. DO NOT over tighten. Now turn the low-speed mixture screw counter-clock 6 1/2 turns.
d. Remove the outer foam from filter and make it moist evenly with a few drops of fuel. Put the filter in a plastic bag and knead it
until the foam is saturated, but not soaked.
e. Finally, make sure the air cleaner boot is securely fastened with a zip-tie.
Never run your vehicle without the air filter .If the vehicle will be operated in an area with fine dust, use filter oil or caster oil instead
of fuel. It is important that the foam is only moist to trap dirt and allow air passage. With the foam too wet, limited air can pass through;
therefore, limiting engine performance.
a. 高速油針調整：調整高速油針（突出於化油器本體之較大螺絲），如圖示。於調整前應先保持油針於開啟3~3.5圈的位置（油針完
全鎖緊後再鬆開3~3.5圈）。高速油針順時針旋轉，化油器將會呈現較為貧油設定；逆時針旋轉將會呈現較為富油設定。請參考引
擎使用手冊來設定您愛車的引擎。
b. 怠速設定：設定引擎怠速轉速用螺絲，突出於化油器本體之較小螺絲（如b圖示），於調整前注意化油器應保持1mm的開口。怠
速螺絲順時針旋轉，怠速轉速提高；逆時針旋轉，怠速轉速降低。請參考引擎磨合建議來設定您愛車的引擎。
c. 低速油針調整：調整低速油針時需卸下上半部車殼（低速油針位於化油器本體末端），如c圖示。於調整前應先保持油針於開啟6.5
圈的位置（油針完全鎖緊後再鬆開6.5圈）。正確調整此油針可讓怠速與中低速更加順暢，調整此油針時需將油門關閉，以及怠速
設定完成後。
d. 原廠搭配的高性能空氣濾清器，建議您於使用前於濾清器上塗抹適量濾清器專用油，可加強過濾粉塵，避免進入化油器造成引擎損壞。
e. 最後確認固定濾清器之束帶是否確實綁緊。
引擎請勿於未安裝空氣濾清器情況下運轉，並且注意濾清器的清潔工作，以避免造成引擎的損壞與壽命簡短。建議使用適當的濾清器
專用油，強化過濾的功能。

Shock Springs 避震器彈簧搭配
Stiffer springs will give you better handling and higher cornering speed on smooth surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, and hard
pack dirt. Soft springs are better for rougher terrain, rock crawling and jumping. Softer springs will increase the rollover tendency
of the truck at higher speeds.
較硬的避震器在平坦堅硬的跑道 上（例如柏油路面 ），將可提供較好的 操控性與過彎速度。 較軟的避震器適合 於崎嶇不平的路面
（例如碎石地）以及跳躍動作，並且可以降低翻車的機率。

Additional gearing is available for your HAMMER S18 Monster Truck. Additional gearing allows you to match your engine and
transmission to your driving situation. Bigger gears on the clutch bell (or smaller slipper gears) will result in greater top speed,
but will have slower acceleration from a stop (see chart below). If you change the gearing you will need to reset the gear mesh:
1. Loosen (or tighten if engine was removed) the four engine mounting bolts located on the underside of the truck until you can
just slide the engine forward and backward.
2. Slide the engine up to the spur gear until the teeth on the clutch bell are meshed tightly with the teeth on the slipper gear.
3. Move the engine back a little bit (1/32" or 0.8mm). Check the mesh by holding the smaller gear with one hand and rocking the
bigger gear back and forth with the other. The big gear should rock back and forth slightly with little effort. A gear mesh that is
too tight will be noisy, have lower performance and could ruin the gears.
HAMMER S18 大腳車齒輪比可以依照您的需求選擇搭配。較大的離合器罩齒輪（或是搭配較小的大主齒輪），將會提高您愛車的尾
速，但是加速度卻會變弱（可參考下列附表）。若您有變更齒比的需求，您可參照附表建議重新搭配。
1. 將車底板上之引擎固定螺絲鬆脫，直到您可自主移動引擎即可。
2. 將引擎向上移動，直到離合器罩齒與大主齒齒輪緊密接合。
將引擎向下方移動一點間隙（約0.8mm），並徒手轉動兩個齒輪是否順暢轉動，來調整間隙。若是轉動時齒輪噪音過大表示，
齒輪搭配過緊，將會降低引擎性能表現
