Self-Righting
1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. If the boat does not go straight, adjust the steering trim dial on
the transmitter.
3. Retrieve the boat when it begins to lose speed.
4. Power off the receiver and disconnect the battery.
NOTICE:
Always power OFF the receiver before powering OFF the
transmitter. If the transmitter is powered OFF before the boat, the
receiver will enter failsafe mode.
Testing Your Boat in the Water
If the boat turns over, release the throttle to stop the motor. Return the
boat to upright by applying a short throttle burst.
The boat sitting in the water normally leans to the battery side. Apply
throttle to level the boat. No weight adjustment is necessary.
IMPORTANT:
The included weighted motor coupler aids self-righting
after the boat has flipped and full throttle is applied. This coupler is
intended for use with the included battery or other batteries with a
4000mAh maximum capacity.
To self-right the boat in calm water:
1. Apply a burst of reverse.
2. Continuously apply a burst of full throttle until the boat rocks
and rights itself.
To self-right the boat in rough water:
1. Release
the
throttle.
2. Apply a burst of forward, reverse and forward throttle. The boat
should rock and right itself.
Tip:
The boat may not self right in extremely rough water. Proceed
to calmer water and follow the self-righting steps.

This boat is intended for use in pools or small ponds but can be
used in any body of water.
• Follow
Self-Righting
instructions if your boat flips.
• Apply a small burst of throttle if your boat has air in the jet pump.
The boat will start moving under its own power once the pump is
full of water.
• Do not run your boat in water full of people.
WARNING:
The boat can cause bodily harm if it comes in
contact with a person’s body or hair.
• Do not run your boat directly in to the side of a tile-lined pool.
• Do not run your boat in a pond with floating debris or tall grass.
Unlike ruddered steerable boats, jet boats must have power applied to
the motors in order for the boat to turn. When making turns, decrease
the throttle to reduce the probability of flipping the boat over. The boat
will not steer when coasting off power.
Never operate your boat in less than 3 inches (7.6 cm) of water.
CAUTION:
Running your boat in shallow water increases the
chance of debris entering the jet pump. Verify that the jet
pumps are free of debris, as operating the boat with a blocked jet drive
for a prolonged period will damage the motor and ESC.
CAUTION:
Never operate your boat in extreme temperatures
or turbulent water.
WARNING:
Never attempt to retrieve a downed boat by
swimming unless you are sufficiently trained and/or there is
another person available to respond in the case of an emergency.
