[. . . ] Do not operate near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas. Prior to the operation of any model be sure the area you plan to use is safe. Do not operate the model where people or any type of moveable object could stray in the path of your model. Control loss due to interference, component failure, loss of sight or low battery voltage could result in serious injury to yourself and others as well as damage to your model. Prohibited Do not Operate your R/C system within 1 mile of another site where radio control activity may occur. Interference from other R/C systems will cause loss of control. Prohibited Do not operate when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Your judgement is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself and others. Before you turn on the power switch on the transmitter, always check to see that the trigger is at the neutral position. When you turn the system off, always turn the receiver off first then the transmitter. If this procedure is not followed, injury to yourself and others as well as loss of control could occur. Adjustment Note Make all adjustments to the radio control system with engine not running, or the electric motor disconnected. If the engine is running or the motor is connected while adjustments are made the model may run out of control. Remove the main battery source from electric powered models when they are not being used. Should you accidently leave the receiver switch on the model could run out of control. Safety Precautions 4 Caution Do not touch Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat while running. Touching hot parts will result in serious burns. Storage and Disposal Safety Precautions Warning (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system) At the end of a days operation store the system with Ni-cad battery discharged. You should fully discharge your systems batteries periodicity to prevent a condition called "memory". For example if you only make two run in a day or you regularly use a small amount of the batteries capacity, the memory effect can reduce the actual capacity even if the battery is charged for the recommended amount of time. Overheating, damage and acid leakage may lead to burns, loss of eye sight as well as numerous other types of injuries. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, Do Not rub, wash immediately with water, seek medical attention at once. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately. Caution Prohibited Do not store your R/C system where it will be exposed to the following conditions. · Extreme heat or coldness · Exposed to direct sunlight · Where humidity is high · Where vibration is prevalent · Where dust is prevalent · Where there is steam and condensation · Where the system would be exposed to engine exhaust Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numerous other problems with operation. (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system) Caution When disposing Ni-cad batteries, cover any exposed contacts with some type of insulation to prevent short circuit. Some states require special handling when Ni-cad batteries are disposed. [. . . ] If the proper capacitors are not installed, high frequency noise will reduce range and cause loss of control along with various other problems. Installation Note Inspect all linkage installations and any point where metal could come in contact with other metal parts. Should a linkage or other metal parts come in contact with other metal parts under vibration the high frequency noise generated by this contact will cause interference and possible loss of control. Caution Disassembly Prohibited Do Not disassemble any part of this system that is not specified in the instruction manual. Futaba will not be responsible for any damage due to improper disassembly of any part of the radio control system. Assembly / Adjustment 11 Digital Proportional Adjustment *When making these settings adjustments , do so with the motor disconnected or the engine not running. Servo Horn Installation Instructions. 1 Connect the receiver, servos, and other components and then turn on the power switches to transmitter and receiver. 2 Be sure the Steering trim and Throttle trim on the transmitter are at their neutral position . Both servos will move to the neutral position. 3 At this time install the servo horn in the manner described in the instruction manual provided with the model this system will be used in. Reversing The Servo Operation Direction Should the servo operate in the opposite direction required for your application, reverse the rotation with the reversing switch. [. . . ]
