Operation
1. Screw the aerial to the connector on the boat.
2. Turn “on” the radio control Transmitter (handset).
3. Remove the boat rear hatch to uncover the battery compartment.
4. Insert the battery into the housing, connect the battery and replace the hatch. The boat will have
automatically turned itself “on”.
5. The boat may now be switched “on & off” using the push button. Turn the boat on using the push
button as normal, but keep holding the button down. When the boat lights go dim, you can adjust
the brightness of the lights using the left hand control (throttle). When you are happy with the
brightness simply release the on/off push button. The lights will remain at this intensity until you
either, turn on the boat and hold the button down again or it will be reset to normal intensity when
you change the battery.
6. Open the hopper door by moving the steering control (right joystick) to the extreme right or left at
the same time moving the throttle (left joystick) into full reverse.
7. Insert your rig, by passing it under the boat and up into the open hopper through the open door.
8. Close the hopper door until it locks in the closed position.
9. Attach the hopper extension if required.
10. Add your free offerings into the hopper and then place your hooked bait on top.
11. Place the boat in the water.
12. The words in “blue type” in the picture of the handset indicate that these items are not required for
general operation. The throttle trim should normally be positionally central to achieve a two hour
running time.
13. The left hand joystick operates the throttle (forwards & reverse) and the right hand joystick operates
the steering. To steer in reverse place the throttle control into the reverse position as normal. Then
move the right joystick (rudder) control trim - the small lever under the main rudder joystick to steer
in reverse. The trim will turn off one or other of the drives to effectively steer the boat.
Please remember that if you try to steer in reverse using the rudder joystick the hopper door will open.
14. The speed of the boat is proportional to the position of the throttle joystick.
15. The two trims for the two joysticks have a small effect on steering and throttle power and
contribute about ten percent of the overall throws of the joysticks. Normally they should be in the
central positions but can be moved to adjust steering and power output.
16. The
Procat MkII
can be made to spin on the spot by moving just the steering joystick to the extreme
left or right, and leaving the throttle joystick in the central position. The
Procat MkII
needs to be more
or less stationary before this action can be performed.
17. When you have reached your desired destination for release, move the steering joystick to the
extreme left or right and, at the same time move the throttle joystick into reverse. After a short time
the lights will go out and the hopper door will open. The lights will then come back “on”, indicating
that the command has been completed.
18. Return the boat to the bankside and remove the boat from the water.
19. Switch the boat “off”, and then switch the handset “off”.
