For children to play with the

, adult supervision is strongly recommended.
•
Do not go onto the ice surface of a lake or other body of water if it is likely to break under your weight.

in a safe area: away from other people, animals, cars etc. Do not drive it on streets or in the

•
Do not touch or try to pick up the

•
Never block the rotation of one of the fans or stick objects through the protective grilles.
•

3. Keep in mind
•
This vehicle has no wheels: it rides on an air cushion created by the lift fan blowing downward.
•
The
TRC5
should function fine on floor, pavement, ice, snow, water or any flat, smooth, clean surface.
•
Do not use the hovercraft on rough or broken pavement/ground, carpets, rocks, pebbles or any surface that can
allow the air to get out of the air cushion or that can damage the air cushion.
•
Use on fresh water only (not salt water!).
•
Keep the
TRC5
within radio and battery life range at all times to ensure retrieval.
•
A hovercraft is not a boat: it needs an operating lift fan and an inflated air cushion to float properly.
•
Running time: 7 to 13 minutes between charging, depending on battery type and conditions.
•
The real rubber air cushion is durable but sharp objects can cause punctures in it.
