It is vitally important that you read this manual thoroughly to obtain the correct
setup and the safest, most rewarding operation of your Arrow Shark RC Boat.
Please study the manual carefully before attempting to work on or operate your
boat.
Safety Precautions
* This is a high performance radio controlled boat it is not a toy. Adult supervision is
required for children who should be warned about the dangers of playing with gas engines,
fast spinning propellers and of being in close proximity to water.
* This boat is controlled by radio signals which are susceptible to possible interference from
other transmitters, paging systems and other sources of electrical noise. Before turning on
your radio transmitter and receiver, make sure that no one else in the area is operating a radio
on the same frequency (channel).
* After turning on your radio, watch it carefully to ensure that it is operating correctly and not
being affected by interference. Carry out a range check as advised by the radio manufacturer
to ensure you will be able to maintain control of your boat at your planned maximum
operating distance.
* Always fit a "Fail Safe" device so that your engine is stopped should the radio encounter
interference, go out of range or have its battery go flat. Some radios have inbuilt Fail Safe
systems, but others do not. They can be purchased separately at any good hobby shop.
* When the engine is running, the propeller can spin at high speed. Never touch the propeller
anytime the engine is running. Be very careful that any item such as loose clothing,
shirtsleeves, ties, scarves, long hair or anything else does not get anywhere close to the
propeller, even when it is stationery. If the clutch engages, the propeller can start to spin
without warning and loose clothing etc can become entangled and cause injury.
