3. Assembly Precautions A Warning Check Q Check the receiver servos and battery connectors to be sure they are firmly con nected 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 Q Operate each servo horn over its full stroke and check to see that the linkage does not bind or is not too loose Excessive force applied to the servo horn by binding or poor installation may lead to servo problems and cause result in loss of control Prohibited The receiver antenna may seem long Do not cut or alter from the original length If the receiver antenna length is altered the receiver will be adversely effected The receiver will become considerably more susceptible to interference and high fre quency noise which will result in loss of range and control Installation Note Q Electric Car s and Boat s Isolate the receiver from vibration by attaching to the chassis or mounting plate with thick double sided tape Gas Powered Car s and Boat s Isolate the receiver from vibration by wrapping it in foam rubber or similar type cush ioning material Protect the unit from water damage by placing it in a plastic bag or waterproof radio box The receiver contains precision electronic parts These parts are vulnerable to vibra tion and shock Any contact with moisture water or condensation may cause receiver malfunction and loss of co
