Important safety notes
You have purchased a kit which can be assembled to produce a fully working RC model when fitted out with
the appropriate accessories. As manufacturers, we at GRAUPNER are not in a position to influence the way
you install, operate and maintain the model, nor the other components used in connection with the model.
For this reason we are obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to the
incompetent or incorrect use and operation of our products, or which are connected with such operation in
any way. Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of the GRAUPNER company to pay
compensation, regardless of the legal argument employed, is excluded. This includes personal injury, death,
damage to buildings, loss of trade or turnover, interruption of business or other indirect or direct damages
which are caused by the operation of the model.
Under all circumstances and in all cases the company’s overall liability is limited to the amount which you
actually paid for this model.
The model is operated at the sole risk of the operator. To avoid injury to persons and damage to
property please handle your model boat carefully and operate it conscientiously at all times.
Before you run the boat for the first time it is important to check that your private third party insurance policy
provides cover when you are operating model boats of this kind. If you are not sure, take out a special
insurance policy designed to cover the risks of RC modelling.
These safety notes are important, and must be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be sure
to pass them on to the new owner.
The following points are important and must be observed at all times:
This model is not suitable for young persons under eighteen years of age.
The model is not a toy, and must be operated with due care. Thoughtlessness and negligence when
assembling and running the boat can easily result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
The model must not be run when the operator is under the influence of medication, alcohol or drugs.
This is a high-speed model, which means that you must
NEVER
operate it when there are persons or
animals in the water, otherwise there is a serious risk of the boat causing severe injury.
Never run your boat in a protected site, an animal or plant sanctuary or a site of special scientific interest
(SSSI). Please bear in mind that the operation of model boats powered by petrol engines is prohibited on
many stretches of water. Check with your local authority that the location you wish to use is suitable for
model boats.
Do not run the model in salt water.
Never operate your boat in adverse conditions, e.g. rain, storm, strong wind, choppy water or strong
currents.
Before you run the model check that the radio control system is working reliably, and that all connections
are secure.
Read and observe the recommendations and instructions supplied with your radio control system and
accessories.
MHz systems only
:
Ensure that the channel on which you intend to run the model is not already in use
by other modellers. Never run the boat if you are not certain that your channel is free.
Do not work on the power system unless the motor is
stopped
.
When the petrol engine is running, keep well clear of the area around the propeller, as this represents
the greatest risk of accident and injury. Make sure any spectators do the same.
