RUNNING THE MISS VEGAS DEUCE
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO DO THE FOLLOWING.
Using
the provided 12mm and 14mm wrenches, loosen the cable
coupler and slide the cable out the back of the boat. Make sure
there is adequate grease on the shaft (see page 11). Reinstall
the cable leaving about 3mm [1/8"] between the back of the
strut and the front of the drive dog. Tighten the cable coupler
making sure it is tight. To check that you have the shaft tight,
place a rag over the prop and pull fi rmly on the shaft/prop.
•
Avoid running the boat in cold weather. The hull and other
plastic parts can become brittle at low temperatures. In
addition, grease and oil become thick, causing premature
wear and poor performance.
•
Before running your Miss Vegas Deuce, it is also a good
idea to check the water-cooling system to make sure all
tubes are properly connected.
•
Check over all screws to make sure they are secure.
•
Check the radio system. Standing behind the boat with
both the transmitter and receiver powered up, rotate the
wheel to the left. The back of the rudder should move
towards the left. Move the wheel to the right. The back of
the rudder should move towards the right. If this is not the
case, simply move the steering servo reverse switch to
the other position.
•
Squeeze the trigger on the transmitter; this should open
the throat of the carburetor. Conversely, moving the
trigger forward should close the throat completely.
•
Total run time of the Miss Vegas Deuce is approximately
5-7 minutes (assuming you begin with a full tank of fuel).
When you notice an increase in power, it means the fuel
tank is nearly empty and it’s time to head for shore. As the
boat reaches shore,
stop the engine
by pushing forward
on the throttle trigger; turn off the receiver, and fi nally the
transmitter
(in that order)
.
•
CAUTION:
The engine will be hot! Allow it to cool for a
few minutes before restarting.
•
Your Miss Vegas Deuce may occasionally take on small
amounts of water, especially when running in rough water.
Keep a roll of paper towels handy and dry out the hull
interior after every run. If you notice excessive amounts
of water in the hull, remove the drain plug in the transom
to conveniently drain water from the hull.
•
Always store your Miss Vegas Deuce with the canopy/
hatch cover removed to allow the interior to dry out
completely. If you neglect to do this, it may result in
corrosion of the electronic components.
•
IMPORTANT:
If, for whatever reason, your boat takes on a
large amount of water, swamps or sinks, causing the radio
equipment to get wet, you must do the following immediately:
Remove the battery pack and radio equipment from the
boat. Allow all of the components to air dry completely
before reassembling. Reinstall the components and check
for proper operation before running the boat in water.
STARTING YOUR ENGINE:
1. Install the starter wand into the hex shaped area on the
front of the starter.
2. Plug the end of the starter cord adapter with the plastic
connector into the hand held starter unit. Attach the starter
cord adapter’s clips to your 12V battery, Red to positive (+)
Black to negative (—).
NOTE:
A 7.2V sport pack (DTXP4605
EZ Start Power Pack) may also be used to power the starter.
3. Attach a glow igniter to the glow plug located on the top
of the engine.
