General Safety Notes

Important notice:
Please read this manual carefully before using
your controller. Only then can you have full profit
of the potential of your controller, and avoid
mistakes.
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 intended
range of voltages!
- Use only high performance batteries by
Graupner or GM-Racing. Using batteries with
an increased internal resistance may lead to
the destruction of the controller! Do never use a
power supply.
- Never leave your transmitter unattended when
a battery is connected. In case of a deficiency
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 de-
struction 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!
10 Safety Notes
- 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 transmis-
sion 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!
- 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 in-
ternal resistance may lead to poor performance
or even to the destruction of the controller.
