WARNING
Check the receiver, servos, and battery connectors, to be sure they are firmly
connected.
If a connector is not fully inserted, vibration may cause the connector to work loose
while the model is operating. This will result in loss of control.
Operate each servo horn over its full stroke and check to see that the linkage does
not bind or is not too loose.
Excessive force applied to the servo horn by binding or poor installation may lead to
servo problems and result in loss of control.
(Electric Cars and Boats)
Isolate the receiver from vibration by attaching to the chassis or mounting plate with
thick double sided tape.
(Gas Powered Cars and Boats)
Isolate the receiver from vibration by wrapping it in foam rubber or similar type
cushioning material. Protect the unit from water damage by placing it in a plastic
bag or waterproof radio box.
The receiver contains precision electronic parts. These parts are vulnerable to vi-
bration and shock. Any contact with moisture (water or condensation) may cause
receiver malfunction and loss of control.
Keep all devices that emit high frequency noise, such as motors, batteries, and
wiring that handles heavy current loads, at least 1/2 inch away from the receiver
and the receiver antenna.
High frequency noise will cause a decrease in operating range and could cause
loss of control.
Install electronic speed control heat sinks as well as other components that conduct
electricity so they cannot come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other
materials that conduct electricity.
If, for example, the speed control came loose while the model was running and
touched an aluminum chassis, a short circuit may occur that would cause irrepa-
rable damage to the system as well as loss of control.
Noise suppression capacitors should be installed on almost all motors.
If the proper capacitors are not installed, high frequency noise will reduce range
and cause loss of control along with various other problems.
Inspect all linkage installations and any point where metal could come in contact
with other metal parts. Make sure these parts do not touch other metal parts under
vibration.
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
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.
