SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Never, ever attempt to swim after a stalled RC boat. DO 
NOT get in the water for any reason to retrieve your 
boat. Your Paradise has fl otation added to the interior 
of the hull and will not sink. To aid you in retrieving a 
stalled RC boat you can use a fi shing reel with a tennis 
ball tied to the end of the line. Or better yet get yourself 
a small Jon boat so you can row out and pick up your 
boat. Remember to use a PFD any time you enter your 
retrieval craft.

  AquaCraft products are to be used by ages 14 and over.

  The speed and mass of this boat can infl ict property 

damage and severe personal injury if a collision occurs. 
Never run this boat in the presence of swimmers or where 
the possibility of collision with people or property exists.

  This boat is controlled by radio signals, which are 

susceptible to possible interference from electrical noise. 

  If your Paradise should happen to lose signal, wind and 

water currents will slowly carry it to shore. The bad news 
is that the boat could be carried to the opposite shore. 
When surveying areas to run your model, keep variables 
in mind such as wind direction, size of the lake, etc. It is 
not advisable to run R/C boats on any free-fl owing bodies 
of water such as creeks or rivers.
