Stopping the Engine

Any time you want to stop the engine, especially if there 

is a problem with the engine, stop the engine by pressing 

the 

KILL

 switch.

CAUTION:

  Do not touch the engine and muffler. 

They become extremely hot during operation and 

can cause injury or fire.

Boating Tips

Avoid boating near other watercraft, stationary objects, 

waves, wakes and other rapidly moving water, wildlife, 

floating debris or overhanging trees. You should also be 

careful to avoid boating in areas where there are many 

people, such as swimming areas, park waterways or 

fishing areas. Consult local laws and ordinances before 

choosing a location to pilot your boat.
Maximum speeds are only achieved when the water 

conditions are smooth and there is little wind. A sharp 

turn, wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is 

moving quickly. Always pilot your boat for the wind and 

water conditions so that the boat does not turn over. 
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. 

 

When making turns, decrease the throttle to reduce the 

probability of flipping the boat over.
Never operate your boat in less than 12 inches (30.5cm) 

of water. 
If you need to retrieve your boat from the water, use 

fishing equipment or another boat. 

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 flex shaft to 

some stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller 

and flex shaft.

CAUTION:  

Never operate your boat in extreme 

temperatures or turbulent water.

 

CAUTION:  

Never attempt to retrieve a downed 

boat by swimming.

When You Are  Finished

1.

  Power off the receiver.

2.

  Power off the transmitter.

3.

  Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat.

CAUTION:  

Never power off the transmitter or 

receiver before stopping the engine. You will lose 

control of your vehicle.

Tip:

  Always remove the canopy before storage or 

moisture may allow mold and mildew to grow in the boat.
