Maintenance & Storage
When you have
fi
nished using your LiteHawk INTIMIDATOR disconnect the bat-
tery and switch o
ff
the Transmitter. Remove the battery from the boat and leave
the top hatch o
ff
to allow moisture to evaporate. Leave the top hatch o
ff
until
you are sure the boat is dry and then you can re-install the top hatch and store
it. It is best to remove the battery from the boat and radio. Store the boat in a
nice, dry place on the provided boat stand. Keep away from heat sources (Open
fl
ames, radiators, direct sunlight). Your boat has a foam gasket that keeps water
from entering. When storing the boat with the top canopy on, remove the gasket
so it stays
fi
rm for the next use.
Your boat is virtually maintenance free, but one thing is vital to the life of the
drivetrain. Lubricating the
fl
ex shaft keeps your boat running smooth and also
within 10-30ft of you so you can see how the boat reacts to steering and throt-
tle input. Once you have more experience you can venture a little farther away.
Remember the controls are proportional just like a real boat. Ease on and o
ff
the
throttle until you are comfortable.
acts as a water seal. This keeps water from
entering your boat. Lubricate the
fl
ex shaft/pro-
peller shaft after every 2-3 times you operate
your boat.
The INTIMIDATOR uses a coupler to connect
the
fl
exshaft to the motor. Using the 2mm Allen
key (included), loosen the two grub screws as
shown. Grab the propeller and pull back re-
moving the shaft 3/4’s the way out of the boat.
Lubricate the shaft with axle or bearing grease
and re-install.
- Reinstall the shaft in reverse order.
Types of grease: Axle or bearing grease. Grease
can be purchased at any auto parts supply re-
tailer.
