8 .  Re-install the covers by aligning the tabs on the bottom of 

the covers with the tabs in the openings. Rotate the covers 
45° to secure them in place.

9 .  Place the cowl on the boat and turn the front lock to hold it 

in place. Your boat is now ready for operation.

POWER UP

It is important to follow the below sequence each time 
you operate your boat.

POWER UP BEFORE A RUN:

1.  Turn on the transmitter. Make sure the light on the top is 

glowing red.

2. Plug in the 7.2 V battery pack. Turn on the receiver switch.

3.  You will hear a faint “BEEP.” Fully squeeze the throttle 

trigger and hold for 1 second. Again you will hear a faint 
“BEEP”. Release the throttle trigger and wait one second. 
You should hear two faint “BEEP-BEEP”s. Never during 
the arming procedure push the throttle trigger forward. 
Your boat is now armed and ready to operate. 

4. Install the round hatch covers.

5. Install the canopy.

POWER DOWN AFTER A RUN:

1. Remove the canopy.

2. Remove the round hatch covers.

3. Unplug the 7.2V battery.

4. Turn off the transmitter.

5.  Use a paper towel to remove any water that might have 

entered the hull.

LAUNCHING AND DRIVING YOUR MINI RIO:

1.  Place the boat in water that is at least 8” deep. Make sure 

the water is free of weeds, sticks or other fl oating debris.

2.  Slowly advance the throttle to get the boat a safe distance 

from shore. Adjust the steering trim knob on your 
transmitter until the boat tracks straight when the steering 
wheel is at neutral.

3. 

Enjoy driving your MINI RIO!

4.  When your boat starts to slow down, it’s time to drive it back 

to shore. Typical run times are 6 to 9 minutes depending 
on the charge and condition of your battery pack.

IMPORTANT:

 If your boat takes on a large amount of water 

and stalls in the middle of the lake, don’t worry. Your Mini Rio 
has foam fl otation so it will not sink. You will, however, have 
to retrieve the boat and remove the hatch covers to remove 
any water that might have entered the boat. If the inside of 
the boat is fl ooded, remove the water and let the boat fully 
dry before operating it again.

REVIEW:

Turn on transmitter.

Plug in battery, wait one second, “BEEP”.

Fully Squeeze Trigger, hold one second, “BEEP”.

Release Trigger, wait one second, “BEEP-BEEP” (do not 

push forward).

Your boat is now ready to operate.
