General safety instructions
Warnings:
- The controller's CE certificate doesn't unbind users from their obligation to use ultimate
caution
- Should the motor refuse to start up, or after a crash, then you should immediately set the
transmitter's control stick to the OFF position to avoid any overload to the controller.
- Use only motors delivered by GM-Racing or Graupner which are designed for the inten-
ded range of voltages!
- Use only high performance batteries by Graupner or GM-Racing. Using batteries with an
increased internal resistance may lead to
use a power supply.
- Never leave your transmitter unattended when a battery is connected. In case of a defici-
ency this may cause an outbreak of fire on the model or its environment.
- Neither the controller nor any other electronic components should ever come in touch
with water. Protect the controller against dust, dirt, humidity, vibrations, or other dangerous
elements (with the exception of water-sealed controllers).
- Never run the motor on a separate battery. This will destroy the controller or the motor,
and leads to the loss of our warranty.
- Never mix up polarities. Use plug systems which offer protection against wrong polarity.
Avoid short-circuiting and blocking the motors.
- All cables and connectors should have good insulation. Short-circuits may lead to the
destruction of your motor.
- This product isn't designed for use by children under the age of 14, it isn't a toy!
- Graupner-controllers are designed for use in battery-driven, radio-controlled models
only, any other use is not permissible. Using this device on a passenger-carrying model is
forbidden!
- Motors, gears or gearboxes, and propellers are dangerous objects. Never keep next to or
in front of the danger area of the drive!
- Technical defects or failures of mechanical or electronic parts may lead to an unexpected
start-up of the motor, with parts of it flying off, maybe causing severe injuries.
- Always check the service range of transmission of your model first thing while it's still on
the ground (hold the model tightly!). Try again with motor on and also with fast changes of
the throttle stick.
- Don't make any changes on the structure and design of your controller unless they are
described in the manual!
- Limited warranty: Graupner Ltd cannot survey the proper application of the mounting
and using regulations, nor the working methods and conditions during the installation,
use, operation, and servicing of the controller. Therefore Graupner Ltd cannot take on any
liability for any loss, damage, or costs resulting from an incorrect use or operation of the
product, or connected in any
way with incorrect use or operation.
- Only those components and accessory parts which have been recommended by us may
be used. Use only genuine and matching Graupner connectors and accessory parts.
- Make sure whenever you start connecting and operating the controller, that:
- your transmitter is the only one working on that frequency,
- is switched on,
- and has the throttle set to position "STOP".
- Use only high-quality batteries by Graupner or GM-Racing. Cheap or old batteries with
a high internal resistance may lead to poor performance or even to the destruction of the
controller.
