• Avoid touching the propeller anytime that the electronics are
turned “ON.” Pay equally close attention to items such as loose
clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarves, long hair or anything that may
become entangled in the spinning prop. If your fingers, hands, etc.
come in contact with the spinning propeller, you may be severely
injured.
• Because of the speed and mass of this boat, it is capable of
inflicting property damage and severe personal injury if a collision
occurs.
Do not
run this boat in the presence of swimmers or where
the possibility of collision with people or property exists.
• This boat is controlled by radio signals, which are subject to
possible interference from other R/C transmitters, paging systems or
other electrical noise. Before turning your radio on, make sure that
nobody else in the area is operating a radio on the same frequency
(channel).
• Electric motors can generate considerable heat. Do not touch
any part of your motor until it has cooled. Touching the motor immediately
after running the Turbo Vee II may result in a serious burn.
If the buyer is not prepared to accept the liability associated with
the use of this product, the buyer is advised to return this kit
immediately in new and unused condition.
