Top Flite TOPQ5700 - Manual

INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the Top Flite
PRECISION MAGNETIC BALANCER. We think
you’ll agree that this ingenious design, which
uses powerful magnets to support the balancer
shaft, is the simplest, easiest-to-use and most
friction-free balancer available. The compact,
rugged case halves press together to provide a
convenient carrying case for the balancer parts.
Originally designed by Mark McCormack
IMPORTANT: Please read through this
booklet in its entirety before attempting
to assemble or use the balancer.
•
Use the Top Flite PRECISION MAGNETIC BALANCER to balance all spinning
components of your models (propellers, spinners, rotors, and even wheels!).
Accurately balancing these components will provide noticeably smoother, quieter
operation and will help extend the life of your models, radio gear and engines.
•
This balancer is capable of suspending objects up to a maximum weight of
approximately 5.5 ounces (156 grams). For example, this permits balancing up
to a 24x16 wood propeller. Your balancer may have slightly greater or less
capacity, depending on the strength of the magnets which varies slightly.
•
This booklet also explains how you can use your Top Flite PRECISION
MAGNETIC BALANCER as a wind speed indicator!
CAUTION - STRONG MAGNETS:
1. When removing the magnets from the carton and when handling the magnets,
use care to prevent them from snapping against each other. The ceramic magnet
material is brittle and a hard impact can result in chipping or breaking.
2. If not handled properly, the powerful magnets in this balancer may cause
temporary or permanent damage to TV SCREENS, COMPUTER MONITORS, VIDEO
TAPES, AUDIO TAPES, FLOPPY DISKS, TAPE STORAGE MEDIA, etc. To avoid
damage, keep the magnets at least 24 inches (600mm) away from components that
are sensitive to magnetic fields.
