[. . . ] If this procedure is not followed, injury to yourself and others as well as loss of control could occur. Safety Precautions 4 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. 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. Prohibited Do not throw a Ni-cad battery into a fire. 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. *If the Red led flashes, replace batteries. Steering Wheel *Turn model to left or right. Steering Trim (P13) Power Switch *When slid upward, the power is turned on. Throttle Trim (P13) *Adjusts the throttle in small increments so the model will not move at neutral. Trim Panel Cover *Open the cover by sliding it to the left. ¥ Servo Reversing Switch (P13) ¥ Steering EPA (only 2PHKA) (P14) ¥ Throttle EPA (only 2PHKA) (P14) ¥ Steering D/R (only 2PHKA) (P14) Throttle Trigger *Control the speed of the model and movement forward and backward. Grip Handle (T2PHKA) Applicable motors (Number of turns is criteria. ) E. S. C. MC230CR / MC330CR ·Use the MC230CR with a motor with 20T or more turns. ·Use the MC330CR with a motor with 13T or more turns. *If a motor with a number of turns smaller than the above is used, the heat protector and overcurrent protection circuit may operate. Depending on the running conditions, the protection circuit may operate even if the condition above is satisfied. (Orange) (Blue) Checker LED Pushbutton switch Motor connector Connects to the motor. If the motor rotates in the wrong direction, interchange the connections of this connector. (Black) Nicd battery connector Connects to the running Nicd battery. (Black) is minus.

Use to press the pushbutton switch. 7 Before Operation *Adjusts the steering in small increments so the model will run straight. Handling Procedure For Batteries (8 AA Size Batteries) (Battery Replacement Method) Caution Always be sure you reinsert the batteries in the correct polarity order. If the batteries are loaded incorrectly , the transmitter may be damaged. When the transmitter will not be used for any short or long period of time, always remove the batteries. If the batteries do happen to leak , clean the battery case and contacts thoroughly. [. . . ] (Slide Type) Trim Operation and Travel Trim adjustments will effect the overall servo travel, check the brake side (backward) movement when changes are made. When trim movement is extreme If you use most of the trim movement to get the servo to the neutral position , recenter the servo horn closer to the neutral position and inspect your throttle linkage. Steering EPA (only 2PHKA) Use this function to limit the servo movement to the left or right. This feature will compensate for any difference in right or left turning angles or radius due to the characteristics of your model. Warning Left side Steering EPA 0 side: Travel Minimum 10 side: Travel Maximum Right side Be sure that the steering linkage does not bind or come in contact with any suspension parts or arms. If unreasonable force is applied to the servo, the servo may be damaged and result in loss of control. Throttle EPA (only 2PHKA) This function is used to adjust the forward and brake side servo travel. [. . . ]
