SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All of us at Traxxas want you to safely enjoy your new model.
Operate your model sensibly and with care, and it will be exciting,
safe, and fun for you and those around you. Failure to operate your
model in a safe and responsible manner may result in property
damage and serious injury. The precautions outlined in this manual
should be strictly followed to help ensure safe operation. You alone
must see that the instructions are followed and the precautions are
adhered to.
Important Points to Remember
• Your model is not intended for use on public roads or congested
areas where its operation can conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or
vehicular traffic.
• Never, under any circumstances, operate the model in crowds of people.
Your model is very fast and could cause injury if allowed to collide
with anyone.
• Because your model is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio
interference from many sources that are beyond your control. Since
radio interference can cause momentary losses of radio control, always
allow a safety margin in all directions around the model in order to
prevent collisions.
• The motor, battery, and speed control can become hot during use. Be
careful to avoid getting burned.
• Don’t operate your model at night, or anytime your line of sight to the
model may be obstructed or impaired in any way.
•
Most importantly, use good common sense at all times.
Batteries and Battery Charging
Your model uses rechargeable batteries that must be handled with care for
safety and long battery life. Make sure to read and follow all instructions
and precautions for charging and maintaining the batteries. It is your
responsibility to charge and care for the battery packs properly. In addition
to your battery and charger instructions, here are some more tips to keep
in mind.
• Do not charge batteries inside of an automobile. Do not charge batteries
while driving in an automobile. The charger is equipped with a long cord
intended to allow the battery to be charged outside of an automobile
when using the automobile’s auxiliary power socket. If the cord will not
reach outside of the automobile, find another power source.
• Never charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet or on any other
flammable material.
• Do not operate the charger in a cluttered space, or place objects on top
of the charger or battery.
