or permanent damage to your boat. It is also 

important to run your boat responsibly. With 

proper care and maintenance, you will be able 

to proudly enjoy your HyperSport 48 for many 

years to come.
When operating the boat, stay clear of people, 

full-scale boats, stationary objects and wildlife. 

It is preferable to operate the HyperSport 48

free of people, wildlife and objects. Confirm 

that all batteries are new and fully charged 

prior to each run and that the failsafe feature 

has been set properly in the event of signal 

loss (see Spektrum radio manual for details).

you sense any abnormal function, end your 

operation immediately. Do not operate your 

boat again until you are certain the problem 

has been corrected. 

 

 

CAUTION: Always stay clear  

 

of the propeller.
