SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Never ever attempt to swim after a stalled RC boat.
Do not get in the water for any reason to retrieve your
boat. To aid you in retrieving a stalled RC boat, set up a
fi shing reel with a tennis ball tied to the end of the line.
Or better yet, get yourself a small Jon boat so you can
row out and pick up your boat. Remember to use a PFD
any time you enter your retrieval craft.
•
AquaCraft products are to be used by ages 14 and over.
•
Do not touch the propeller anytime the motor is running.
Pay equally close attention to items such as loose clothing,
shirtsleeves, ties, scarves, long hair or anything that may
become entangled in the spinning propeller. If your fi ngers,
hands, etc. come in contact with the spinning propeller, you
may be severely injured.
•
The speed and mass of this boat can infl ict property
damage and severe personal injury if a collision occurs.
Never run this boat in the presence of swimmers or where
the possibility of collision with people or property exists.
•
Electric motors produce heat. Do not touch any part of your
motor until it has cooled.
•
This boat is controlled by radio signals, which are susceptible
to possible interference from other R/C transmitters, paging
systems, or other electrical noise.
•
In the event that weeds become entangled in the propeller,
stop the motor before attempting to remove them.
•
If your Mini Rio should happen to stall, water currents will
slowly carry it to shore. The bad news is that the boat could
be carried to the opposite shore. When surveying areas
to run your Mini Rio, keep variables in mind such as wind
direction, size of the lake, etc. It is not advisable to run R/C
boats on any free-fl owing bodies of water such as creeks or
rivers.
•
Always remove the battery pack from the boat before charging.
•
Only use the specifi ed battery when operating the Mini Rio.
