Section 3: Filling the Fuel Tank
We recommend that you use Blue Thunder
™
20% fuel. For maximum performance, we
recommend Blue Thunder Race Formula. Blue
Thunder fuels are specifically formulated for
excellent power and engine protection.
Locate the fuel tank inside the cockpit area and
unscrew the lid. Use either the DYN2009 Fast
Tap
™
quart bottle spout that has been attached
to the quart of fuel or the DYN2003 Fuel Bottle
to fill the fuel tank with your selection of Blue
Thunder fuel. After you have filled the fuel tank
and re-installed the lid, wipe away any excess
fuel that may have been spilled inside the hull or
elsewhere on the boat. Immediately seal the fuel
container by putting the lid back on after refueling
in order to protect the fuel from moisture.
Section 4: Range Checking the Pro Boat Radio System
Before the first run of the Miss Elam, range
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.
m
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 Miss Elam.
m
2. Have an assistant remain with the boat
to check for proper control movement of
the rudder from your transmitter input.
m
3. If everything appears to be operating
correctly, raise the antenna and start the engine
(refer to Section 5 of this manual and to the
separate DYN .15 engine manual). Place the boat
in the water and run it (at about 1⁄3 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.
