Truck - Engine Components
The location and operation of the truck's main engine components:
- The main needle adjustment is used to regulate the amount of fuel that flows from the gas tank into the engine.
- The low-idle mix adjustment is factory-set and generally does not need adjustment.
- The air filter should be removed and cleaned each time the vehicle is operated. After each use, remove the filter and wash it out with warm soapy water. Squeeze out the water and allow the filter to dry thoroughly, then add a small amount of oil to the filter before replacing it. Keeping the filter clean and well oiled will help the engine continue to run properly.
- The glow plug functions in a manner similar to a spark plug on an actual vehicle. It is shielded by a protective housing and provides spark to the engine via the glow-plug wire. On the T-Maxx, the glow plug is activated when the easy-start ignition is engaged.
- The primer is a small plunger located on top of the fuel tank. Several pumps on the primer initiates flow of fuel to the carburetor, enabling easy starting.
- The clutch on the T-Maxx engages automatically when the engine reaches specified rpm's.
- The transmission allows the vehicle to transition between gears. The T-Maxx uses a simple two-speed transmission -- forward and reverse.
Note : Whenever operating any RC models, the radio transmitter should be the first thing you switch on (prior to switching on any receivers) and the last thing you switch off.
