The Quick Start Guide is
not intended to replace the
full operating instructions
available in this manual.
Please read this entire
manual for complete
instructions on the proper
use and maintenance of
your model.
Your model includes both
straight and 90-degree body
clips. The straight body
clips are intended for use
in the front body mounts.
The 90-degree body mounts
should be installed in the rear
body mounts, as shown in the

reduce body clip damage or
loss in a rollover.
