Futaba 10CAG Manual De Instrucciónes

18

Follow these guidelines to properly mount the servos, receiver and battery. 

• Make certain the alignment tab on the battery, switch and servo connectors is oriented correctly and “keys” into the 

corresponding notch in the receiver or connectors before plugging them in. When unplugging connectors, never pull on 
the wires. Always pull on the plastic connector instead. 

• If your aileron servo (or others) are too far away to plug into the receiver, use an aileron extension cord to extend the 

length of the servo lead. Additional Futaba extension cords of varying lengths are available from your hobby dealer. 
Always use an extension of the proper length. Avoid plugging multiple extensions together to attain your desired length. 
If distance is greater than 18” or multiple or high current draw servos are being used, use Futaba Heavy-Duty servo 
extensions.

• Always mount the servos with the supplied rubber grommets. Do not over 

tighten the screws. No part of the servo casing should contact the mounting

failure.

• Note the small numbers (1, 2, 3, 4) molded into each arm on the Futaba 4-arm servo arms. The numbers 

indicate how many degrees each arm is “off” from 90 degrees to correct for minute manufacturing 
deviations from servo to servo. 

• To center the servos, connect them to the receiver and turn on the transmitter 

and receiver. Center the trims on the transmitter, then find the arm that will be 
perpendicular to the pushrod when placed on the servo. 

• After the servos are installed, operate each servo over its full travel and check that the pushrods and servo arms do not 

bind or contact each other. Also make sure the controls do not require excess force to operate. If there is an objectionable 
buzzing sound coming from a servo, there is probably too much resistance in the control. Find and correct the problem. 
Even if there is no servo damage, excess battery drain will result. 

• Use the mounting plate

on the side of the fuselage opposite the engine exhaust, and where it won’t be inadvertently turned on or off during 
handling or storage. Be certain the switch moves without restriction and “snaps” from ON to OFF, and that the cutout 
allows full motion of the switch in both directions. 

• When you install the switch harness to the helicopter, please use the switch cover. Generally sandwich the frame between 

the switch and switch cover and securely tighten the screws. Different models might require different installations. If so, 
please follow the model's instruction manual. 

Fasten about 5-10cm 
from the servo outlet 
so that the lead wire 
is neat.

wire during daily maintenance.
