After the cheek. switch off the receiver, then the transmitter, in that order.

The suspension should be adjusted sati.s· lacu:>rily if it was set up as described l.n the COI"'$truction Instructions.

1. Check that lhe transmitter. receiver. and car NiCd batteries are chatged. ttf the radio set uses. disPOSable ca-ns. be: s11e that the batteties are fresh.•

2. Install the car battery in its COr'fll)artment and I<M the connector.

3. Switch on the transmitter. 4. Switch on tOO receivar. S. Check that the car moves forward when the transmitter

speed stick is moved focward. and that the speed of the car Increases as the stick is tnOYW forward ptogrcssivcly tanhct.

s. Check that lh& cat steets at a rate that allows it to be controtled comfor1~bly. If s teering is too quick, move the IMet ends of the tie rods to the holes in the sOf\'O savCf that ate c loser to the ocnter of the servo wheel.
