18 READY-TO-RUN SAILBOAT
General Precautions
• Read the
WET CONDITIONS MAINTENANCE
procedures and make sure that you have all the tools
you will need to properly maintain your boat.
• Not all batteries can be used in wet conditions.
Consult the battery manufacturer before use.
Caution should be taken when using Li-Po batteries
in wet conditions.
• Most transmitters are not water-resistant. Consult
your transmitter’s manual or the manufacturer
before operation.
• Never operate your transmitter or boat when
lightning is present.
• Salt water is very conductive and highly corrosive.
If you choose to run your boat in salt water,
immediately rinse the boat in fresh water after each
use. Operating your boat in salt water is at the sole
discretion of the modeler.
Wet Conditions Maintenance
• Drain any water that has collected in the hull by
removing the drain plug or canopy and tilting the
boat in the appropriate direction to drain the water.
CAUTION:
Always keep hands, fingers, tools and
any loose or hanging objects away from rotating
parts.
• Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts. If
you have an air compressor or a can of compressed
air, blow out any water that may be inside the
recessed connector housings.
• Remove all moving parts. Dry and lubricate parts
after every 30 minutes of operation or if the boat
becomes submerged.
NOTICE:
Never use a pressure washer to clean your boat.
• Use an air compressor or a can of compressed air
to dry the boat and help remove any water that may
have gotten into small crevices or corners.
• Spray the bearings, fasteners and other metal parts
with a water-displacing light oil or lubricant.
• Let the boat air dry before you store it. Water (and
oil) may continue to drip for a few hours.
