Battery Installation

A suitable battery (not included) is required for operation. Consult the specifications for recommended battery types and voltage. Carefully connect the battery to the designated power connector, ensuring correct polarity. Secure the battery within its compartment to prevent movement during operation.

Transmitter and Receiver Setup

The FS I6S Controller and IA10B Receiver are included. Refer to the separate manual for the FS I6S transmitter for detailed binding and calibration procedures. Ensure the transmitter and receiver are properly bound before attempting to operate the truck.

Operating Instructions

Basic Controls

Use the FS I6S Controller to operate the truck. The primary controls typically include:

• Throttle: Controls forward and reverse movement.
• Steering: Controls left and right turning.
• Shift Gear: Activates the 2-speed gearbox.
• Differential Lock: Engages/disengages differential lock for improved traction.
• Hydraulic Dump: Controls the raising and lowering of the dump bed.

Hydraulic System Operation

The hydraulic system operates the dumper bed. Use the designated control on your transmitter to raise and lower the bed. Operate the hydraulic system smoothly to prevent damage. The system pressure is rated for 20-25KG.

Gearbox Operation

The 2-speed high torque gearbox allows for different driving speeds and power. Use the shift control on your transmitter to switch between gears. It is recommended to stop the truck or reduce speed before shifting gears to avoid strain on the gearbox.

Sound and Light System

The truck is equipped with an LED light system and a 3T sound system. These can typically be activated and controlled via specific channels or switches on your FS I6S transmitter. Refer to your transmitter manual for exact control assignments.

Maintenance

Cleaning

After each use, especially in dusty or dirty conditions, clean the truck using a soft brush or compressed air to remove debris. Avoid using water directly on electronic components. A damp cloth can be used for the exterior body.

Lubrication

Periodically inspect moving parts, especially the hydraulic cylinder and gearbox components, for wear. Apply appropriate RC-grade lubricant to gears and pivot points as needed to ensure smooth operation and longevity.

Storage

Store the RC dumper truck in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery from the truck and transmitter if storing for extended periods. Ensure the model is clean before storage.

Troubleshooting

• Truck does not respond to transmitter:
  Check battery levels in both the truck and transmitter. Ensure the transmitter and receiver are properly bound. Verify all connections are secure.
• Hydraulic dump bed not lifting/lowering:
  Check hydraulic fluid levels (if applicable and accessible). Inspect hydraulic motor and ESC connections. Ensure no obstructions are present.
• Unusual noises during operation:
  Inspect gears for debris or damage. Check for loose components or screws. Lubricate moving parts as necessary.
• Reduced performance or range:
  Ensure antennas on both truck and transmitter are correctly positioned. Check for interference from other electronic devices.
