SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Never ever attempt to swim after a stalled R/C boat. Do not get
in the water for any reason to retrieve your boat. To aid you in
retrieving a stalled R/C 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 (personal fl otation device) 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 engine 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 prop. 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.
•
Model engines generate considerable heat. Do not touch any part
of your engine until it has cooled. Touching the muffl er, cylinder
head, or exhaust header may result in a serious burn.
•
This boat is controlled by radio signals, which are susceptible to
possible interference from other R/C transmitters, paging systems,
or other electrical noise. Before turning your radio transmitter and
receiver on, make sure no one else in the area is operating a radio
on the same frequency (channel).
•
Gasoline is poisonous. Do not allow it to come into contact with the eyes
or mouth. Always store gasoline in an appropriate labeled container and
out of the reach of children!
