Fit the switch in the rubber seal from the underside, and
tighten the retaining screws. Install the servos, the
receiver and the receiver battery as shown in the photo
(the photo shows the components originally used). The
servos are fixed in place using the screws supplied with
them. The receiver and battery should be held in place
inside the box using self-adhesive Velcro tape. It is
important to ensure that the battery cannot shift when the
boat is running; we recommend a strip of Velcro tape
around 70 mm long for adequate security. Connect all the
RC components together and check from the transmitter
that the system works properly. Set the rudder pushrod
and the rudder servo to centre. Adjust the throttle linkage
in such a way that the maximum throttle servo travel in
each direction coincides with the end-stops (full-throttle
and idle) of the carburettor. This can be accomplished
mechanically by adjusting the position of the output lever
on the throttle servo, and - if necessary - by using a
different linkage hole in the output arm. Alternatively use
the servo travel reduction facility on your transmitter.
NOTE:
don’t use the standard receiver included in the RC
set, as this does not include PCM / SPCM mode.
However, the receiver crystal supplied in the RC set can
be used in the recommended SPCM receiver. The wire
aerial attached to the receiver must be routed out of the
RC box through the tube provided, and secured at its top
end.
NOTE:
in the photograph above, the silencer has
been removed in order to show the arrangement more
clearly.
Check that all screwed joints on the engine are really tight,
and apply a drop of UHU thread-lock fluid (Order No. 952)
to each junction for additional security.
Check that the water-cooling hoses are firmly seated; it is
essential that they cannot possibly come adrift while the
boat is running.
The next step is to fill the fueltank and check the engine
functions. Do not run the engine in an enclosed space, as the exhaust gases are toxic.
NOTE:
keep
yourself and everything else well clear of all the rotating parts of the drive system - especially the
propeller - whenever the engine is running.
