SAFETY WARNINGS
●
Under no circumstances should you operate your boat if people
are in the water nearby. Serious injury could result.
●
Never operate your boat at night.
●
Never use your boat to chase wildlife.
●
The receiver, ESC, servo and motor used in your boat are not
waterproof, therefore always make sure that the radio box is
sealed closed with clear tape and that the upper deck is fitted
during operation.
●
Because your boat is operated by radio control, it is important
that you ensure that you always use fresh and/or fully charged
batteries. Never allow the batteries to run low or you could lose
control of the boat.
●
If your boat becomes stuck, release the throttle, then retrieve
your boat by hand.
●
If you are testing the motor, do not touch the spinning propeller
on the bottom of the boat. Serious injury could result.
●
Electric-powered boats produce vibration when they are running.
It is important to periodically check for any loose mounting
hardware. Operating the boat with loose screws or fasteners
can lead to damage to the boat or its electronics.
●
Because the hull is assembled from moulded plastic, use of
chemical spray cleaners is not recommended. These cleaners
may damage the plastic and/or the decals.
●
Only use paper towels or a soft cloth to clean your boat. Use of
any abrasives will damage the plastic.
GENERAL WARNINGS
●
Always turn on the transmitter before turning on the receiver
(boat) and always turn off the receiver before turning off the
transmitter. This will prevent stray signals from interfering with
the radio control system.
●
Always unplug the Ni-Cd battery when not using the boat.
●
Never cut the receiver antenna wire shorter or you could lose
control of the boat. Allow the excess antenna wire to hang
beyond the end of the antenna support tube.
●
When operating the boat, make sure the transmitter antenna is
completely extended.
●
Do not use a battery that has more than 7-Cells (8.4 volts) or
the electronics in the boat will be damaged.
●
Do not allow the electronics to get wet or they could be
damaged.
NI-CD BATTERY WARNINGS
●
Periodically check the battery for excessive heat build-up during
the charging process. If the battery is hot to the touch, remove
it from the charger and let it cool. Never leave the battery
unattended during the charging process.
●
Always allow the battery to completely cool before recharging.
●
Never overcharge the battery or serious damage to the battery
could result.
