OPERATION CHECK

HELPFUL HINTS

1. Plug the switch harness and servo connectors into the proper slots.

The connectors are polarized, so they will fit into the receiver one way only.
NEVER USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO PLUG IN OR PULL OUT CONNECTORS.

2. Always turn the transmitter power switch "on" first, before the receiver switch to

avoid damaging your equipment.

3. Move the trim levers to the "neutral" position.
4. Check to see the servos move in the proper direction when the joysticks are moved.

If you wish to change the direction of rotation, use the servo reversing
switches on the front of the radio.

5. If you wish to have more forward throttle stick movement, push down the neutral

position adjustment lever, this will give 30% more forward movement.

Antenna

Both the transmitter and the receiver antenna must be fully extended when in use.
Do not cut off any excess receiver antenna wire or bundle it up as this will cut down
on the operating range of the system.

Changing Frequency

Hitec offers receiver and transmitter crystals to be used in changing the frequency of
your Ranger 2N system. Caution: The frequency can be changed only within the
same band, you cannot change from 75MHz to 72 or 27MHz just by changing crystals.

Water, Dust and Fuel

Take suitable measures to protect your system from water, dust, oil and fuel.

Servo Linkage

Install your linkages to be free from binding and slop. If you hear severe "humming"
from the servo, it is an indication the servo is working too hard and the geometry
of the linkage should be adjusted.

Throttle Ratchet

The spring mechanism on the throttle stick may be disconnected and an optional
ratchet part # 58314 is available to fit on the throttle gimbal to facilitate a ratchet
effect with detents.

NORMAL POSITION : FORWARD : BACKWARD = 50 : 50

LEVER DOWN : FORWARD : BACKWARD = 70: 30

Congratulations again and have fun!
