OPERATING SAFETY RULES

Select a SAFE place to operate your vehicle. Do not drive in the street. Avoid driving on SAND or through
puddles of WATER. These hazards can impair performance. Check the surface ahead of you and watch for
obstacles. The radio receiver in your vehicle and transmitter are sensitive instruments. Do not leave Vehicle or
Transmitter near sources of HEAT or under DIRECT SUNLIGHT for long periods of time.
Avoid leaving Vehicle or Transmitter OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT.
NIGHT DAMPNESS IS HARMFUL to INTERIOR MECHANISM.
DO NOT try to take apart or remodel any of the parts.

RADIO INTERFERENCE: Sometimes erratic behavior or loss of control of vehicle is
the result of interference caused by high tension wires, high voltage transformers
certain types of building, concrete walls or narrow places where RADIO SIGNALS
sent from your transmitter MAY BE SCATTERED thus making it DIFFICULT for your
vehicle to receive a GOOD RADIO SIGNAL. If you encounter this type of behavior or
loss of control, CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION.
You will encounter INTERFERENCE if ANOTHER radio controlled vehicle or CB
radio is operating in the vicinity on your SAME FREQUENCY.
