H o v e r c r a f t Tips
1. In order to race or operate two hovercrafts together, one m ust be 27M Hz (S ilver/B lue) and one m ust be 40M Hz (S ilver/R ed).
2. Hovercraft are not designed to go up hills or inclines.
3. W ater should be calm , without waves, turbulence or strong currents. Do not operate in rivers or stream s.
4. Do not operate hovercraft in salt water. S alt will corrode m etal parts and void warranty.
A ir B a g S k ir t C a r e
1. Do not operate your hovercraft where the surface is with sharp edge, rough surface or high tem parture heat to avoid skirt wreck or worn out in
order to m ake A ir B ag S kirt last longer.
2. W hen the A ir B ag S kirt has been accidently wrecked or worn out, do not repair by yourself, because of it's
particular skirt sealing structure. Please
kindly contact the Custum er S ervice Hot Line indicated on the first page of the M anual, or contact the shop where you have purchased.
R /C F a c t s f o r Im pr o v e d O pe r a t io n
1. W hen battery start to fully discharge, hovercraft m ay slow, stop, or refuse to respond to your control. It's tim e to recharge hovercraft battery or
replace transm itter battery. T his is absolutely the #1 cause of all problem s and questions!
2. R adio frequency interference can interfere with the control of your hovercraft. B uildings, power wires, other R /C transm itters, or CB radio can all
cause problem s. Pick a place to drive and keep away from these things.
3. Hold Transm itter so antenna points up, not toward the hovercraft. K eep hovercraft within range (about 20 m eters) to keep control. If hovercraft goes
out of range, try lifting transm itter high into air to increase range for hovercraft recovery.
4. W ipe hovercraft clean and dry after each use, including inside battery com partm ents.
5. Turn hovercraft power switch off im m ediately after running. R em ove batteries for storing. K eep hovercraft and Transm itter away from heat and
direct sunlight and m oisture.
