Safety Tips
• NEVER drive your vehicle on streets!
They’re for real cars!
• DO NOT pick up vehicle while in motion.
• Keep fingers, hair and loose clothing
away from the tires and the wheel hubs
while the vehicle is switched ON.
• Adult supervision is recommended when
this vehicle is being operated.
• To avoid accidental operation, remove all
batteries when not in use.
BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
Insure that battery polarity is correct.
Use only batteries of the type recommended
(or equivalent).
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or
rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
Remove used-up batteries immediately.
Remove batteries if vehicle will not be used
for a long period.
Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Do not short-circuit terminals.
Remove rechargeable batteries before
recharging (if the batteries are designed to be
removable).
Recharge batteries only under adult supervi-
sion (if the batteries are designed to be
removable).
Dispose of batteries safely. Do not dispose of
batteries (or products containing non-replaceable batteries) in fire, as batteries may
explode or leak.
Battery Performance Note:
For best performance use alkaline batteries
(where disposable batteries are called for). If
your vehicle is supplied with standard (carbon-zinc) batteries for initial use and/or
demonstration purposes, we recommend
replacing them with alkaline batteries when
necessary. Battery life may vary depending on
battery brand.
❶When your vehicle starts
to lose power, it may lose
functions or performance. It's time for fresh
batteries (or a recharge).
Your vehicle's running
time may change
depending on your driving style.
❷Radio interference can
make your vehicle run
badly. Interference can
be caused by other R/C
vehicles running on the
same frequency; electrical wires; large buildings;
or CB radios. Try to stay
away from these!
❸ Point your transmitter anten-
na up - not down toward
your vehicle. If your vehicle
gets too far away, it won't
work properly. If your transmitter has a carry-loop feature, make sure the antenna
tip is removed from the carryloop holder and straightened
before operating.
❺Don’t store your vehicle
near heat or in direct sunlight. Always turn switches OFF and remove all
batteries for storage.
❹Don’t drive your vehicle in
sand or through water or
snow.
