13.1 Checking the steering function
 Alwayscarryoutdigitaltrimmingbeforecheckingthesteeringfunction.Formoreinformation,consultthe
section “Starting up the transmitter” in the Chapter “Checking and setting the digital trimming”.
Switch both the transmitter and the receiver on to carry out
the check. If everything has been connected and installed
correctly the steering should react to the rotation motions
of the control wheel.
When the control wheel is in the middle position, the
wheels should be pointing straight ahead.
If the wheels are at an angle although the control wheel
isinthemiddleposition,checktoseewhethertheservo
lever is at an angle to the steering rod.
Inthiscase,undotheservolever,andscrewitbackinto
place one “tooth” offset.
Further deviations in the wheel positions can be corrected
ifnecessarybyadjustingthesteeringrod.
Ifyousteertotheleft,thewheelsshouldturnleft.Ifyou
steertotheright,thewheelsshouldturnright.
If the control direction should react in precisely
the opposite way to the control direction on the
transmitter, this can easily be reprogrammed.
See the Chapters “Selecting the menu” and then
“Reverse”.
