Section 8: Fueling the Tank
Use only Zenoah
®
2-Cycle Synthetic Oil and premium gasoline
mixed 32:1 to power the ShockWave
™
55 Super Sport. Fill
the tank completely and secure the fuel cap. Keep fuel in a
moisture-free environment, as stale fuel will cause the Zenoah
®
G26M engine to lose performance.
Section 9: Range Checking the JR XR3i Radio System
Before the first run of the ShockWave 55 SS, you should check
the radio for proper operation and to ensure proper control
movement of the rudder and throttle. Also ensure that the
antenna on the boat is extended properly and that all batteries
are in working condition.
1. With the radio system turned on (transmitter and receiver)
and the transmitter antenna down (engine off), walk off
40 to 50 paces from the ShockWave 55 SS.
2. Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for proper control
movement of the rudder from your transmitter input.
3. If everything appears to be operating correctly, raise the
antenna and start the engine. Place the boat in the water and run
it (at about
1
⁄
11
⁄⁄ throttle) close to the shoreline. If the radio system is
operating properly, you can begin to run the boat faster and
further away from the shoreline.
Note:
It is a good idea to range check prior to operating
your boat after any repair, installation of new batteries, or
at the beginning of each boating season.
Section 10: Starting the Engine
NOTE:
The Zenoah G26M carburetor is factory adjusted to deliver
optimum performance. See the Zenoah Engine manual for fine-tuning
adjustments and other helpful information to make your RC boating
experience trouble-free.
Priming the Engine
Press the priming bulb several times until it becomes
filled with fuel. This is not necessary if the engine has
recently been run.
