Warnings

  • This is not a toy! This model is not intended for those under 14 years of age without proper adult supervision.
  • Failing to operate or maintain this vehicle in a safe manner can result in bodily harm.
  • Replace damaged components with original factory parts only. Pay special attention to the polarity of all vehicle wiring.
  • Only use the genuine KAVAN lithium-polymer batteries. Do not overcharge or over-discharge the battery as doing so may cause the battery to become a fire hazard. If the battery should become hot during charging, discontinue charging immediately and disconnect the battery from the charger. Never leave the battery unattended while charging. If you are unsure of how to charge this battery, please seek the advice of experienced RC users. Never let children charge the battery without adult supervision.
  • The motor will become hot during use. Allow 10–15 minutes between runs for the vehicle to cool down. Doing so will prolong the life of your vehicle.
  • Use common sense when selecting the environment to operate your vehicle. Do not run it in the streets, car parks etc. - wherever you can run into a full-size car, people or animals. Do not operate near power cables, cellular/radio towers, deep water or unstable terrain. The operator is solely responsible for their actions.
  • The product is composed of precision electrical components. It is critical to keep the product away from moisture and other contaminants. If exposed to a humid environment, make sure the electronics are fully dried prior to using them again.
  • Always check the radio range of the vehicle prior to operation in order to prevent damage to your model due to radio loss or interference.
  • Operate this product within your ability. If the vehicle is dangerous to retrieve from a place, it’s never worth the risk.
  • Always turn on the transmitter before connecting the battery on the model. When turning off the model, turn off the receiver switch and then always disconnect the battery - only then turn off the transmitter. If this order is reversed, the model may become out of control and cause serious damage.
  • Never allow transmitter batteries to run low as it may cause loss of vehicle control.
  • Plastics on the vehicle are flammable and susceptible to damage or deformation due to extreme heat and cold climate. Do not store the model near any source of heat such as oven or heater. Store the model indoors, in a dry, room temperature environment.
  • Never shorten the receiver antenna; this may affect the operational range of your radio system.

Lithium Polymer Battery Warning

  • Never charge a lithium polymer battery with a charger designed for NiCd, NIMH, or any other type of battery than LiPo. Use ONLY charger designed for LiPo batteries.
  • Do not leave LiPo battery unattended during charging.
  • Do not overcharge the battery.
  • Always charge LiPo batteries placed on non-flammable, heat-resistant surfaces.
  • Use of a LiPo-safe bag or container while charging is strongly recommended. Do not allow LiPo cells to overheat at any time. Cells which reach greater than 60 °C will usually become damaged and will catch fire.
  • Do not charge the LiPo pack while it is still in the model. Never charge or store battery packs in a vehicle.
  • Do not over discharge LiPo; doing so will damage the battery.
  • Do not expose LiPo cell to water or moisture at any time.
  • Do not store battery near open flame or heater.

  • Always store LiPo battery in a secure location away from children.
  • Always remove the LiPo battery if model is involved in any kind of crash.
  • Carefully inspect the battery and connectors for even the smallest damage.
  • CAUTION: Cells may become hot after usage. Allow the pack to cool to room temperature prior to recharging.
  • Do not allow the electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin. Wash affected areas immediately if they come into contact with electrolyte. Do not alter or modify connectors or wires of a LiPo battery pack.
  • Always inspect the condition of the battery before charging and operating.
  • Do not short circuit the LiPo battery.
  • Avoid direct contact with a leaky/damaged battery.
  • Do not charge battery out of recommended temperature range (0–30 °C).
