h) Controlling the vehicle
Close the body, see section 9. a). Place the vehicle on the ground. Do not reach into the engine or hold the wheels.
1. Release the throttle/brake lever (move it to the neutral position). The vehicle should roll to a halt or stay stationary
(if necessary, adjust the throttle trim on the remote control).
2. Slowly pull the throttle/brake lever towards the handle to make the vehicle move forwards.
3. Move the throttle/brake lever away from the handle without a pause to make the vehicle move forwards and brake
(the vehicle decelerates quickly rather than coming slowly to a standstill).
4. Drive forwards, brake and then drive in reverse: Push the throttle/brake lever away from the handle (braking) with-
out pausing; if the vehicle remains stationary, move the throttle/brake lever to the neutral position briefly (approx.
1 second), then push the throttle/brake lever away from the handle (vehicle will now reverse)
Drive forward
Pulling the throttle/brake lever from forwards to reverse without a pause will activate the brakes (the vehicle will not
reverse).
In the event of an immediate switch from forwards to reverse, the throttle/brake lever must first be pushed away from
the handle and then moved to the neutral position (if the vehicle moves forwards during this phase, braking is also
activated as a result). If the throttle/brake lever is pushed away from the handle a second time, the vehicle drives in
reverse.
After driving forwards, the vehicle only drives in reverse if the throttle/brake lever is pushed away from the
handle a second time. This is required by the brake function; in addition, it protects the drive mechanism
from overload due to an immediate switch from forwards to reverse.
