Residual Risks - Multiplex FUNWING Instrucciones De Montaje

Safety information for MULTIPLEX airplane models
When operating the model, all warning and safety information in
the operating instructions must be observed.
The model is NOT A TOY in the conventional sense. If you use your model
carefully, it will provide you and your spectators with lots of fun without
posing any danger. If you do not operate your model responsibly, this may
lead to significant property damage and severe injury. You and you alone
are responsible for following the operating instructions and for ensuring
EN
the safety guidelines are adhered to.
When setting up the model, operators declare they are familiar with
and understand the contents of the operating instructions, particularly
regarding safety information, maintenance work, operating restrictions,
and deficiencies.
This model may not be operated by children under the age of 14. If minors
operate the model under the supervision of a responsible and competent
adult pursuant to the law, this person is responsible for adhering to the
information in the operating instructions.
THE MODEL AND THE ASSOCIATED ACCESSORIES MUST BE KEPT OUT
OF REACH OF CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS OF AGE! CHILDREN UNDER 3
COULD SWALLOW REMOVABLE SMALL PARTS OF THE MODEL. RISK OF
SUFFOCATION!
Multiplex Modellsport GmbH & Co. KG is not liable for loss, damage
and consequential damage of any kind caused by incorrect operation,
improper use or misuse of this product, including the accessories used
along with it.
Proper use
The model may only be used in the hobby sector. No other type of use
is permitted. To operate the model, only the accessories recommended
by Multiplex may be used. The recommended components have been
tested and adjusted for safe functioning together with the model. If other
components are used or the model is modified, all claims against the
manufacturer or retailer are void.
In order to minimize the risk when operating the model, observe the
following points in particular:
• The model is controlled via a remote control. No remote control
is safe from radio interference. Interference may lead to a loss of
control of the model. Therefore, always ensure large safety distanc-
es in all directions when operating the model. As soon as even the
smallest indication of radio interference presents itself, operation of
the model must be halted immediately!
• The model may only be put into operation after a complete function
and range test has been successfully carried out as per the instruc-
tions for the remote control.
• The model may only be flown in good visibility. Do not fly in poor light
or in the direction of the sun in order to avoid glare.
• The model may not be operated under the influence of alcohol or
other intoxicants. The same applies for medicines that impair percep-
tion and responsiveness.

• Only fly the model in wind and weather conditions in which you can
safely control it. Even with light wind, take into account that turbu-
lence may build up on objects and have an effect on the model.
• Never fly in places where this would pose a danger to others, i.e. in
residential areas, near power lines, roads, and railroad tracks.
• Never direct the model at people or animals! Avoid unnecessary risks
and alert other pilots to potential hazards. Always fly in a manner that
ensures neither you nor others are exposed to danger – even many
years of accident-free flying experience are no guarantee for the next
minute of flying time.

Residual risks

Even if the model is operated in accordance with the regulations and
observing all safety aspects, there is always a residual risk.
Third-party liability insurance (powered model airplane) is therefore
mandatory. If you are a member of a group or association, you might be
able to take out the appropriate insurance there.
Ensure models and the remote control are properly maintained and are in
good condition at all times.
Due to the construction and design of the model, the following dangers
may arise in particular:
Injuries caused by the propeller: As soon as the battery is connected, the
area around the propeller must be kept clear. Be aware that objects in
front of the propeller may be sucked in and objects behind the propeller
may be blown away. Always align the model ensuring it cannot move in
the direction of other people if the motor starts up unintentionally. When
performing adjustments for which the motor is running or may start up,
the model must always be securely held in place by a helper.
• Crashes caused by control errors: Even the most experienced pilots
can make mistakes. For this reason, only fly in a safe environment
and at authorized model airplane flying fields.
• Crashes caused by technical failures, undetected damage from
transportation or pre-existing damage: The model must be carefully
inspected before each flight. Bear in mind that technical or material
failures may occur at any time. Therefore, only operate the model in a
safe environment.
• Adhere to operating limits: Excessively harsh flying weakens the
structure of the model and may lead to technical and material fail-
ures as well as crashes immediately or, due to 'insidious' consequen-
tial damage, in later flights.
• Risk of fire due to malfunction of the electronics: Batteries must be
stored safely. The safety information of the electronic components in
the model, the battery, and the charging device must be observed.
