SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in severe injury to
yourself and others.
Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the plane of
rotation of the rotors whenever the battery is connected.
Keep these items away from the rotors: loose clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarfs,
long hair or loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out of
shirt or jacket pockets into the rotors.
The spinning blades of a model helicopter can cause serious injury. When
choosing a fl ying site for your Novus 125 CP, stay clear of buildings, trees and
power lines. AVOID fl ying in or near crowded areas. DO NOT fl y close to people,
children or pets. Maintain a safe pilot-to-helicopter distance while fl ying.
1. Your Novus 125 CP should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated,
working model that functions very much like a full-size helicopter. Because of
its performance capabilities, the Novus 125 CP, if not assembled and operated
correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage
to property.
2. You must assemble the model according to the instructions. Do not alter or
modify the model, as doing so may result in an unsafe or unfl yable model. In a
few cases the instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In those instances
the written instructions should be considered as correct.
3. You must correctly install all R/C and other components so that the model
operates correctly on the ground and in the air.
4. You must check the operation of the model before every fl ight to insure that
all equipment is operating and that the model has remained structurally sound.
Be sure to check linkages or other connectors often and replace them if they
show any signs of wear or fatigue.
