SnapDragon – Owner's Manual

Issue 1,8

2. A Guide to the SnapDragon

This chapter explains the major features of the SnapDragon, and should be useful as a

reference.

If someone who is not familiar with the SnapDragon will be supervising your child, for

example a relative, schoolteacher, babysitter etc, point this chapter out to them in

particular, and make sure that they have understood it. If they will be transporting the

SnapDragon in a vehicle, they will also need to read and understand chapter 3.

Please read this with the SnapDragon in front of you, so that you can relate the description

and instructions to the relevant parts of the equipment. "Left" and "right" are always taken

to be driver's left and right.

Battery Compartment

The SnapDragon runs from two Sonnenschein GF12-33Y-G1 38AH:12V gel batteries, which

when fully charged provide sufficient power for typically 10 hours of indoor running. These

batteries are completely sealed, maintenance free and approved for air travel.

The batteries are underneath the fibreglass

"bootlid" cover at the back. (see Fig:1).

To remove this, pull downwards with your

thumb on the black rubber catch in the

centre at the very back of the cover, and

you will find that the hook underneath

unclips. Then hold the cover with two hands

under the back edge and pull it backwards

and up. To replace the cover, reverse this

process, making sure that the front edge of

the cover is located under the black metal

bar which locates the elevator on to the

chassis.

With the cover removed, you will see that

each battery has a red and a black cable

running from the terminals to a grey

connector which connects it to the main

servo connector cable. (Fig:2). This consists

of two brown cables and a red and black

pair which are held together by a woven

metallic sheath. It delivers the power to the

main servo control unit which is housed in

the black metal casing on the left hand side

of the battery compartment.
