3. Bleed the hydraulic system as per standard hydraulic model procedures to remove any air bubbles.

3.3 Remote Controller Setup (Flysky I6S)

The Flysky I6S remote controller is pre-bound to the receiver. Install batteries into the remote controller and power it on. Refer to the separate Flysky I6S manual for detailed instructions on calibration and advanced settings.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On

1. Ensure the remote controller is powered on first.
2. Power on the dump truck. The light and sound systems should activate.

4.2 Driving Controls

Use the joysticks on the Flysky I6S remote controller to control the dump truck's movement:

• Forward/Reverse: Typically controlled by the vertical movement of one joystick.
• Steering (Left/Right): Typically controlled by the horizontal movement of the other joystick.
• 2-Speed Transmission: Engage the 2-speed transmission via a designated switch or button on the remote controller to select between high and low gears.
• Differential Lock Axles: Activate the differential lock feature via a switch on the remote for improved traction on uneven terrain.

4.3 Hydraulic Tipper Operation

The hydraulic system controls the raising and lowering of the dump bed:

1. Locate the control for the hydraulic tipper on your remote controller. This is typically a proportional lever or a switch.
2. Move the control to raise the dump bed.
3. Move the control in the opposite direction to lower the dump bed.

4.4 Sound and Light System

The sound and light systems are typically controlled by dedicated switches or buttons on the remote controller. Consult your Flysky I6S manual for specific assignments.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your RC dump truck.

5.1 Cleaning
