Safety Precautions:
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A TOY! The Speed-NT is a sophisticated,
high-performance radio control model which needs to be
operated with caution and common sense. Failure to operate
this model in a safe and responsible manner could result in
personal and/or property damage. It is your responsibility
to see that the instructions and warnings are followed and
precautions adhered to.
The Speed-NT is not intended for use by children without
direct adult supervision. Losi and Horizon Hobby shall not be
liable for any loss or damages, whether direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential arising from the use, misuse, or
abuse of this product or any product required to operate it.
*This is still only a model – do not expect it to do unrealistic
stunts.
Warnings:
The Speed-NT is powered by a special fuel containing
flammable liquids and special care must be taken as noted
below.
• Model fuel is dangerous if handled carelessly. Follow all
directions and precautions on the fuel container. NEVER
drink fuel - call a doctor immediately if ingested or
splashed into your eyes.
• Keep fuel and all chemicals out of the reach of children.
• Always keep the fuel container closed and never use
around an open flame or while smoking.
• The exhaust emits poisonous carbon monoxide fumes.
Always run your model in a well ventilated area and never
attempt to run it indoors.
• The top of the engine and the exhaust pipe are extremely
hot during and after use. Use caution not to touch these
parts, especially when refueling.
• The engine can be loud especially when run in a confined
area. If you find the noise objectionable make sure to use
ear protection.
• This model is controlled by a radio signal that is subject
to interference from sources outside your control.
Interference can cause temporary loss of control so it is
advised to always keep a safety margin in all directions to
avoid collisions.
• Always operate your model in an open area away from
people and cars. The potential speed of this model can
cause injury or damage.
• Never operate your Speed-NT with low transmitter or
receiver batteries – especially AA dry cells as control and
power will be limited.
• Repeated or prolonged use of heavy braking will cause the
brakes to overheat and fail! Always leave plenty of room
for stopping.
• It will take as much room to stop as it does to accelerate to
speed. Always run in an open area with plenty of braking
room.
Batteries and Charging:
The Speed-NT uses rechargeable batteries such as NiMH or
LiPo. These batteries all have special requirements to preserve
performance and last a long time. Read all instructions and
precautions that are provided with the batteries intended to be
used in the Speed-NT.
• Read all instructions provided by the manufacturer
of the batteries.
• Responsible adult supervision is necessary while
charging batteries.
• Always check to ensure the polarity of battery connection
is correct.
• Never leave batteries unattended while charging.
• Never charge a battery while it is installed in the Speed-NT.
• Do not charge any battery that appears to have
any damage.
• If there are exposed wires do not charge or use the battery
until you have installed shrink-wrap or replaced the
complete wire.
If charging NiMH batteries, select a charger to meet your
requirements. Chargers can be of two primary types for
their source of power; a 100-240V wall charger, or one which
requires a 12V power supply. Follow the charger manufacturer’s
instructions and precautions during each use.
