SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
Adult supervision
is strongly recommended!
Children
should be warned
about the dangers of playing in close
proximity to water.
• Use care to
avoid touching the propeller anytime the
engine is running
. Pay equally close attention to items
such as loose clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarves, long
hair or loose objects such as screwdrivers or pencils that
may fall out of shirt or jacket pockets onto the spinning
prop.
If your fi ngers, hands, etc., come in contact with the
spinning propeller, you may be severely injured.
• Because of the speed and mass of this boat, it is capable
of infl icting
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.
•
Never threaten any wildlife or disturb fi shermen with your
model boat!
This is the quickest way to get model boating
banned from your favorite local pond.
•
Radio Control boats are controlled by radio signals,
which are subject to possible interference from other R/C
transmitters, paging systems or other electrical noise.
Before
turning your radio on,
make sure no one else in the area is
operating a radio on the same frequency (channel).
•
Model engine fuel is poisonous.
Do not allow it to come
into contact with the eyes or mouth.
Always store fuel in a
clearly marked container and out of the reach of children.
•
Model engine fuel is highly fl ammable.
Keep it away
from open fl ame, excessive heat, sources of sparks, or
anything else that might ignite it.
Do not smoke or allow
anyone else to smoke
in close proximity to open fuel.
Make sure that fuel lines are in good condition so that
fuel will not leak onto a hot engine causing a fi re.
•
Never operate your engine in an enclosed space.
Model
engines, like automobile engines, exhaust deadly carbon
monoxide.
Run your engine only in an open area.
