SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety Instructions and Intended Use
This product is designed exclusively for hobby use and may only be used on tracks and areas intended for this purpose. No persons or animals may be transported with this model. To avoid operator errors, it is mandatory that the user manual is read before use! These models may only be used with bodywork that is correctly fitted. When removing the bodywork, please note that, during operation, certain parts can become very hot.Please note that various models can generate very high noise levels and should, therefore, not be operated in your immediate proximity.Please make sure, before every driving session, that the tank is correctly closed or the power pack is correctly inserted.
To avoid faulty operation of the control system causing the model to run out of control, it must be checked that the transmitter and model batteries are in good condition.
It is essential to check that the model is correctly assembled both before and after use; if need be, tighten nuts and bolts.

This model is not a toy!

• This product is not a toy, its operation must be learned step by step.
• Children under 14 years of age should operate the model only if supervised by an adult.Operating RC models is a fascinating hobby that, however, must only be exercised with proper precautions and care. Since the weight of this model is considerable and it can reach a very high speed it can, if it runs out of control, cause significant damage and injury for which you, as the operator, are liable. Only a correctly assembled model will work and react as expected. Never improvise with unsuitable materials but, when the need arises, use only original spare parts. Even if the model is pre-as-sembled, all joints and fastenings should be checked for correct seating and tightness.

Before use, you must make sure of the following points:

•  All rechargeable batteries must be fully charged.
•  Before starting, check the radio range.
