Control Check
IMPORTANT:
Perform a control check at the beginning
of each boating session, after repair or after installation of
new batteries.
Ensure the receiver antenna is extended properly and all
batteries are fully charged.
1.
Power ON the transmitter and the boat.
Do not
install the boat canopy.
2.
Place the boat securely on the boat stand.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine without water
cooling circulation or damage may result.
3.
Check steering and throttle on the transmitter.
Boating Tips
When running your boat for the first time, we
recommend calm wind and water conditions so that you
can learn how the boat responds to your control.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a
location to pilot your boat.
1.
Carefully place the boat in the water.
2.
Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline.
Avoid objects in the water at all times. When the boat
is moving forward, ensure water flows out of the
coolant outlet.
3.
Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow
speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the
shore at higher speeds.
4.
When making turns, decrease the throttle to reduce
the probability of flipping the boat over.
5.
Bring the boat back to shore when the motor starts
to pulse.
CAUTION:
Never operate your boat in less than
12 inches (30.5 cm) of water.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to retrieve a downed
boat by swimming. If you need to retrieve your
boat from the water, use fishing equipment or another
boat.
Avoid boating near:
• watercraft
• people (swimming areas, fishing areas)
• stationary objects
• waves, wakes
• rapidly moving water
• wildlife
• floating debris
• overhanging trees
• vegetation
NOTICE:
If the propeller and rudder are blocked with
debris or vegetation, remove the boat from the water
and remove the debris before continuing operation.
Remove any blockage from the coolant system or
the motor and ESC (electronic speed control) may
overheat.
NOTICE:
When running at full speed in choppy
waters, the prop may exit and re-enter the water
repeatedly and very quickly, subjecting the propeller
and drive shaft to some stress. Frequent stress may
damage the propeller and drive shaft.
Self-Righting
If the boat turns over, release the throttle until the boat
comes to a stop. Return the boat to upright by applying a
short throttle burst.
The boat sitting in the water normally leans to the
battery side. Applying throttle levels the boat. No weight
adjustment is necessary.
