REVO PLATINUM EDITION • 3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All of us at Traxxas want you to safely enjoy your new Revo. Operate
your Revo sensibly and with care, and it will be exciting, safe, and fun for
you and those around you. Failure to operate your Revo 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
• Revo is very fast! The Revo is intended for experienced users with a
high level of skill. The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine is extremely powerful and
may require skilled driving to maintain control.
• The engine, brakes, and exhaust system may become extremely hot
during use. Be careful not to touch the parts, especially when refueling
or stopping the engine.
•
Model engine fuel is dangerous and highly poisonous.
Always follow
all directions and precautions printed on the fuel container. Model
engine fuel is poisonous to humans and animals. Drinking the fuel can
cause blindness and death. Handle with care and respect.
• Model engine fuel, especially when in a fuel dispensing bottle, may
look like a cool drink to a child.
Keep all fuel out of the reach of
children at all times. Do not place fuel containers on the ground
where children can reach them. Pay close attention to where you
place your fuel and fuel bottle while you are driving.
•
Model engine fuel is flammable. Never allow smoking, sparks, heat
or flame in the presence of fuel or fuel vapors.
• Prolonged exposure to the engine exhaust can be harmful. Avoid
breathing the engine exhaust. Always run your Revo outdoors, in a
well-ventilated area. Never run the engine indoors.
• Do not operate your Revo at night, or anytime your line of sight to the
model may be obstructed or impaired in any way.
• Never operate your Revo in crowds of people or busy pedestrian
areas. Revo is very fast and could cause injury to those unaware of
its presence. Keep small children at a safe distance away from the
operating area.
• Because Revo is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference
from many sources beyond your control. Since radio interference can
cause momentary loss of control, always allow a safety margin in all
directions around your model to prevent collisions.
• The engine can be loud. If the noise makes you uncomfortable, wear
ear protection. Be considerate of your neighbors by not running your
model early in the morning or late in the evening.
• Most importantly, use good common sense at all times.
Children under 16 years of age and inexperienced drivers
should not operate the Revo without the supervision
of a responsible and knowledgeable (experienced) adult.
