9. Maintenance

At certain intervals maintenance works and function controls are to be carried out that ensure trouble-free operation
and roadworthiness for a long time.
Engine vibrations and shocks during drive operation can loosen parts and screw connections.
Check before each use:
• The tight position of wheel nuts and of all screw fittings;
• When replacing screws, secure the latter with screw-lock-lacquer
• The secure position of the servo control lever on the servo shaft.
• The position and the state of fuel hoses and air filter.
• The cable installation.
• Also check the charging state of the rechargeable batteries of the transmitter and the receiver
Cleaning
• After driving, clean the entire vehicle of dust and dirt, use compressed air and/or a special spray cleaner.
• Pay particular attention to the bearings. Remove the wheels occasionally and remove dust and deposits from the
bearings.
• After cleaning, the movable parts must be re-lubricated.
• After having lubricated the bearings also remove possibly escaping oil and grease, since this is where dust can
settle particularly well.
• Also clean the cooling fins of the cooling head regularly with a toothbrush, in order to ensure an optimum heat
dissipation.
Braking
Brake linings and the brake disks wear off with time. Thus, the braking effect decreases as the maximal brake pressure
was set according to the thickness of new linings/brake disks.
If you observe that the braking effect is fading:
• Check the thickness of the brake disks and
• correct if necessary the position of the adjusting rings at the brake linkages.

Lubrication

All moveable and bedded parts must be lubricated with a low viscosity machine oil or spray grease after cleaning and
after each use.
Fuel system, engine
• Impurities must not get into the tank or in the carburettor and / or certainly not into the engine. Such dirt can cause
misfiring under load or a bad idle speed setting. In a worse case a foreign body between the cylinder lining and
piston can cause the piston to get stuck or piston seizure!
• Mount a fuel filter between tank and carburettor to filter out particulate material from the fuel.
• Use fuel for RC cars only!
