when it is operating properly. To determine whether your Brum or
transmitter is causing the interference, release the transmitter's control
button and turn off your Brum. If the interference goes away, your Brum

n”™‡
Do not play with your Brum in
the street.
These hints can help you get the
most enjoyment from your Brum.
Running your truck continuously
for long periods generates high
heat levels. Heat causes wear and
tear on the motor. To help keep
heat levels down, when your
truck's battery power dies, let
the truck cool at least 10 minutes
before installing new batteries.
If your Brum's motor runs but
your Brum does not respond to
the transmitter, move the
transmitter closer to your Brum
and try again.
If someone uses a CB nearby, it
might interfere with control of
your Brum. If this happens, move
your Brum away from the CB.
You cannot operate your Brum
near devices with transmitters
that use the same frequency
(27 MHz).
