IMPORTANT
You'll want to check the controls until the Ni-Cd battery in the boat no longer has enough power to operate the motor.
This will allow you enough time to become familiar with how the controls react to the inputs from the transmitter control sticks and
it will drain the Ni-Cd battery enough for its first full recharge before use.
❑
While looking from the front of the boat (with the boat upside down),
push the steering control stick to the right. The back edge of the rudder
should pivot to the right. This will make the boat turn right.
❑
While looking from the front of the boat (with the boat upside down), push
the steering control stick to the left. The back edge of the rudder should
pivot to the left. This will make the boat turn left.
❑
With both the steering control stick and the steering trim lever centred,
verify that the rudder is centred. It should be straight when viewed from
the front or back of the boat. If the rudder is not centred, slide the steering
trim lever left or right until it is.
IMPORTANT
If the rudder is not centred, the boat will not run straight.
It will always turn in one direction or the other.
PRO TIP
The rudder can turn back and forth under pressure without turning the steering servo. This design allows the rudder to
turn if you were to hit something. This helps prevent damage to the steering linkage and servo. If the rudder can't be centred using
the steering trim lever, grasp the rudder with your fingers and firmly turn it until it's centred.
❑
Looking from the back of the boat (with the boat upside down), push the
throttle control stick forward. The propeller should spin anticlockwise.
❑
Release the throttle control stick and the propeller should stop
spinning.
WARNING
Before testing the motor, make sure that your fingers and
any loose objects are clear of the propeller.
❑
Looking from the back of the boat (with the boat upside down), pull the
throttle control stick backwards. The propeller should spin clockwise.
❑
Release the throttle control stick and the propeller should stop
spinning.
❑
Continue testing the controls until the battery in the boat no longer has enough power to operate the motor. Now turn off the receiver,
then turn off the transmitter. Unplug and remove the Ni-Cd battery from the boat and allow it to cool.
