Check the throttle function. The throttle lever of the transmitter (2) permits smooth adjustment of the model’s driving
speed.
The farther you push the lever to the handle, the faster must the ship’s propeller must turn and the faster will the ship
move forward. The control commands of the transmitter control the carburettor throttle via the throttle servo and the
deflection lever (figure 5, item 1).
Attention!
The model has no centrifugal force clutch. This causes the ship’s propeller to rotate as soon as the motor is
running.
Therefore adjust the linkage of the throttle servos so that you can deactivate the motor trimming (motor off).
The trimming must be set to increased idle throttle again for operation of the model, so that the motor will
continue to run securely after placement in the water.
Also observe the setting notes on the motor in chapter 11.
c) Range Test
Before first use, the rechargeable battery and any rechargeable batteries used in the transmitter have to be charged
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Perform a range test of the remote control system first. Switch on the remote control and then the receiver. Now check
the range of your remote control with a helper, by having the helper hold the operational model ship and you moving
away from the model. Control must work interference-free at least at a distance of 50 metres.
d) Starting the Engine
General information on combustion engines
At commissioning of the new engine, a certain run-in time must be complied with. During this time, engine
parts are tuned to one another, whereby maximal capacity is reached and premature wear is prevented.
Running in therefore needs to be performed very carefully!
Attention!
Since the boat has no centrifugal force clutch, the ship propeller turns once the motor is running. The ship
propeller is very sharp-edged and may cause injury and/or property damage when handling, replacing and
in operation!
Starting the engine cold
The carburettor has an integrated diaphragm pump that activates when the engine is running.
It uses the alternating over- and underpressure in the crankshaft housing to transport fuel into the carburettor.
For starting, the carburettor has a manual pump that is used to transport fuel into the carburettor. This manual pump
comprises a transparent rubber sphere (figure 5, item 3), which serves as sight glass for visual inspection of fuel
supply to the carburettor at the same time.
