UTIONS

When the safety precautions are followed, the
FireHammer MT will provide years of
enjoyment. Use care and good sense at all
times when operating this radio controlled
truck. Failure to use this vehicle in a safe,
sensible manner can result in injury or damage
to property.You and you alone must insure that
the instructions are carefully followed and all
safety precautions are obeyed.

Do not operate the FireHammer MT near
people. Spectators should be behind the
driver or at a safe distance away from 
the vehicle.

Water can cause the electronics to short
out and can cause permanent damage.

Always turn on the transmitter before
turning on the receiver.

Fully extend the transmitter antenna
before operating your vehicle.

Before turning on your radio system,
check to make sure that no one else is
running on the same frequency.

The engine and exhaust produce quite a
bit of noise. Do not run this vehicle when
or where it can disturb others.

The engine and exhaust can become
very hot. Avoid touching any of these
parts during use and until they have
cooled down.

Gasoline is extremely flammable. Keep
it away from open flame, excessive heat
or sparks. Do not smoke while operating
the FireHammer MT.

This engine was designed for R/C
vehicles and should not be used for any
other purpose.

The engine emits harmful fumes just 
like real vehicles. Do not operate this
model indoors.

Avoid running the truck in cold weather.
The plastic and metal parts can become
brittle at low temperatures. In addition,
grease and oil become thick, causing
premature wear and poor performance.

from defects in both material and
workmanship at the date of purchase.
DuraTrax will warranty this kit for 90 days
after the purchase date. DuraTrax will
repair or replace, at no charge, the
incorrectly made part.

Make sure you save the receipt or invoice
you were given when you bought your

we must see it before we can honor the
warranty. Further, DuraTrax reserves the
right to change or modify this warranty
without notice.

In that DuraTrax has no control over the
final user assembly or material used for
final user assembly, no liability shall be
assumed nor accepted for any damage
resulting from the use by the user of the
final user-assembled product. By the act of
using the user-assembled product, the
user accepts all resulting liability.

The engine is under a limited warranty for
3 years. DuraTrax warrants this engine to

alterations or accident. Damaged caused
by customer disassembly, tampering, use
of substandard fuel, use of incorrect

of the engine for which it is not specifically

warranty of the engine. If there is damage
resulting from these causes within the

its option, repair or replace it for a service
charge not greater than 50% of the
current retail list value. Be sure to include
your daytime telephone number and e-
