Tuck the wires neatly under the decking.
ARMING PROCEDURE
With the transmitter on, plug a charged battery into the
controller.
You will hear a chime with a beep. bee-daa-beep--beep!
Squeeze the throttle trigger fully, you will hear two beeps.
“beep-beep”.
Relax the throttle trigger; you will hear three more beeps.
“beep-beep-beep”.
The boat’s power system is now armed and ready to run.
NOTE:
The arming procedure has to be done each time you
plug the pack into the boat.
Place the canopy on the boat, sliding the front pegs into the
cowl. The back will be held by the small magnets. Your boat is
now ready for operation. It is best to tape the canopy closed.
Tape is the best system for keeping water out of your boat.
We have supplied you with a small roll to get you started. You
can also upgrade to our Premium Radio Box Tape, making
application and removal much easier. (GrimRacer Pro Radio
Box Tape AQUB9514)
Launching and Driving Your
GP-1 Ultra Hydroplane
Place the boat in water that is at least 12" (305 mm) deep. Make
sure the water is free of weeds, sticks or other fl oating debris.
Your GP-1 Ultra Hydroplane is designed to turn right. It’s also
important to note this boat is FAST! Having said this, it is
best to be quite aggressive with the throttle to overcome any
cavitation that the boat might encounter as it starts to move
forward when launched. It’s also a good idea to run in a larger
pond. Do not run your GP-1 Ultra Hydroplane in a pool.
After you have completed a run, it is best to FIRST unplug the
LiPo battery. This safely powers down the boat before turning
off your transmitter.
IMPORTANT:
If your boat takes on a large amount of water
and stalls, don’t worry,
foam fl otation will keep it from
sinking.
You will have to retrieve the boat and remove the
canopy to release any water that might have entered. If the
inside is fl ooded, remove the transom plug from the back of
the boat and let the water drain. Allow the boat to fully dry
before operating it again. Remember to re-install the transom
plug before running.
Maintenance
It is important to remove and re-lubricate the driveshaft after
running for the day. Make sure the battery pack is unplugged.
You will need a 2mm hex wrench, GrimRacer Cable Grease
and some paper towels.
Using a 2mm hex wrench, loosen the screws holding the drive
cable to the motor coupler. It is important to note that there
are two set screws holding the shaft in position.
