Safety Precautions 2PEKA For your safety as well as that of others. Please read this manual thoroughly prior to installation and operation of your digital proportional R/C system. Definition of Symbols Safety Precautions The following defines the symbols used in this manual. Explanation of Symbols Warning Indicates a procedure that could result in serious injury or death to the user or other persons if ignored and not performed properly.
Running (Sailing) Safety Precautions Conduct Tests Prior to operation always preform a range test. Even one abnormality in the R/C system may cause loss of control. [Range Test Procedure] Have a friend hold the model, or place on a stand where the wheels or prop can not come in contact with any object. Collapse the transmitter antenna and operate from a distance of about 10 yards. Be sure to check the movement of each servo to make sure they follow the movement of the steering wheel and throttle trigger.
Prohibited Do not operate when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Your judgement is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself and others. Safety Precautions Before you turn on the power switch on the transmitter, always check to see that the trigger is at the neutral position. Always turn the transmitter on first, then the receiver.
Prohibited Do not store your R/C system where it will be exposed to the following conditions. • Extreme heat or coldness • Exposed to direct sunlight • Where humidity is high • Where vibration is prevalent • Where dust is prevalent • Where there is steam and condensation • Where the system would be exposed to engine exhaust Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numerous other problems with operation.

Battery Replacement Battery cover Caution Always be sure you reinsert the batteries in the correct polarity order. If the batteries are loaded incorrectly , the transmitter may be damaged. Open Before Operation AA size Batteries (x8) When the transmitter will not be used for any short or long period of time, always remove the batteries. If the batteries do happen to leak , clean the battery case and contacts thoroughly. Make sure the contacts are free of corrosion.
2PEKA Assembly / Adjustment Receiver and Servo Connection As you connect the receiver, servo's and other components, do so in accordance with the "Assembly Precautions" listed on the next page. Connections when a E.S.C. MC210CB or MC310CB are used. Connects to Motor OFF ON Connects to battery 3 CH. MICRO RECEIVER (CH2) Steering Servo (CH1) Receiver Gas Powered Model (CH2) Assembly / Adjustment Power Switch E.S.C. Throttle Servo 3 CH.
Assembly Precautions Warning Check Check the receiver, servos, and battery connectors, to be sure they are firmly connected. If a connector is not fully inserted, vibration may cause the connector to work loose while the model is operating. This will result in loss of control. Check Operate each servo horn over its full stroke and check to see that the linkage does not bind or is not too loose.
Install electronic speed control heat sinks as well as other components that conduct electricity so they can not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other materials that conduct electricity. If for example the speed control came loose while the model was running and touched an aluminum chassis a short circuit may occur that would cause irreparable damage to the system as well as loss of control. Installation Note Noise suppression capacitors should be installed on almost all motors.
Digital Proportional Adjustment *When making these settings adjustments , do so with the motor disconnected or the engine not running. Servo Horn Installation Instructions. 1 Connect the receiver, servos, and other components and then turn on the power switches to transmitter and receiver. 2 Be sure the Steering trim and Throttle trim on the transmitter are at their neutral position . Both servos will move to the neutral position.
2PEKA Description of Functions Steering Trim Steering neutral adjustments can be made by moving the Steering trim knob to the left or right. Steering Trim Racers Tip ST.TRIM When you install a servo always check to be sure the servo is at its neutral position. Adjust the servo horn hole position and linkage so both are parallel. When a servo saver is used place it as close to center position as possible. Be sure the steering trim on the transmitter is at the neutral position. TH.
Servo Reverse This function reverses the rotation direction of the Steering and Throttle servos. ST. N Steering N Side: Normal R Side: Reverse R SERVO REV SW When the trim position deviates from the center, the deviation will be on the opposite side when the servo is reversed.
