Use & Care Instructions
·
Sensitivity Adjust - Adjust the silver color-coded knob with the white line “up”
for MINIMUM sensitivity. Turn
that knob
counter-clockwise to increase the sensitivity (provide more power to the car on
initial application of
the throttle).
·
Caution ! : Regular maintenance is required to
keep the controller contacts clean and free from foreign
objects & debris.
Failure to properly clean, lube and maintain the contacts will cause the
controller to fail, will
allow the car to be
driven without the throttle being depressed and can result in the wire wound pot
used for
brake control becoming
short circuited & damaged. Please take this warning seriously and follow
this
process to keep the
contacts clean & properly lubricated :
1. Remove the front
half of the controller case by loosening the three bolts
2. Clean all debris
from the nickel-plated contacts with a Q-Tip and lighter fluid
3. The sliding contacts
MUST be CAREFULLY lubricated to reduce contact wear and provide a
smoother controller
action. To lube, do so as follows :
a.
Place a SMALL amount of Super Lube PTFE
lube on the end of a Q-Tip & apply to the
nickel contacts in
the area where the silver alloy contact travels
b. Cycle the trigger
a few times
c. Use a Q-Tip with
lighter fluid to remove any excess lube outside of the area where the
contacts meet (remove
90% of the lube you just applied)
d. Examine the
contact area to insure that cotton fibers from the Q-Tip are removed and
that residual lube is
minimal & barely visible
4. Repeat this
cleaning / lube process on a frequent basis (every 1-2 weeks) for best
results.
·
Periodic Maintenance – lube the trigger pivot bushing with plastic compatible
oil
