11. Cleaning and maintenance
a) General
Before cleaning or servicing, turn off the vehicle and completely separate the rechargeable battery pack
from the speed controller. If you have just operated the vehicle, allow all parts (e.g. motor, speed controller,
etc.) to cool down completely first.
Clean the whole vehicle after using it. Remove dust and dirt using e.g. a long-haired clean brush and a vacuum
cleaner. Compressed air aerosols may also be helpful.
Do not use cleaning sprays or conventional household cleaners. They may damage electronic components
and lead to discolouration on the plastic parts or the body.
A soft, slightly moistened cloth can be used to wipe the vehicle body. Do not rub too firmly to avoid scratch marks.
Motor vibrations and shocks when driving can loosen parts and screws. This is why you should always check the
tightness of wheel nuts and all screws after and before using the model. The same applies to other parts of the vehicle.
Do not use force when tightening the screws! Screws attached to plastic parts might be overtightened and
will consequently not be tight anymore.
If, for example, the wheel nuts are pulled out with force, the ball bearings/wheel bearings jam, which leads
to increased power consumption of the electric motor. In addition, the speed controller and the electric
motor might overheat and the speed is reduced.
Check if the tires sit correctly on the wheel rims and if the adhesions have loosened.
Especially the differential requires lubrication (as described for the assembly). The other parts of the vehicle should
only be cleaned of dust and dirt. Lubricating them is not advisable as dust and dirt can easily settle there which
increases wear and tear.
If worn-out or defective vehicle parts must be replaced, use original spare parts only.
Make sure that cables are not bent or squeezed and that no cables get caught in moving parts or the drive mechanism.
Check the model for damage before every use. If you notice any damage, the vehicle must not be used anymore and
has to be taken out of operation.
