Ensure the antenna tube is properly placed
through the hull. It may be necessary to slightly
pull the antenna tube out to make certain the
radio range is sufficient.
Turn the transmitter on, then the receiver. Check
for correct operation. The rudder control arm
should move toward the front of the boat when
right input is given. Conversely, when left input is
given, the control arm should move toward the
back of the boat.
With the propeller free from any objects, give some
throttle input to ensure that the motor is working.
If everything appears to be functioning correctly,
you are ready to run your boat!
Note
: If you are transporting your
boat, make sure you disconnect the
battery from the speed controller
and then turn your radio off until
you are ready to run the boat.
Once ready, simply turn the radio
on and plug the battery into the
speed controller, again making sure
that the boat is in neutral.
Collapse the transmitter antenna and walk away
from the boat. Actuate the rudder to confirm
proper control at least 30 feet from the boat prior
to deploying the boat into the water. Be sure to
fully extend the antenna before operation.
