Alpha Patrol Boat
Tip:
Before placing your boat in the water, secure the
canopy and access hatch on the hull. Apply clear tape
(DYNM0102), if desired.
1.
Carefully place the boat in the water.
2.
Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline.
Avoid objects in the water at all times. Once you are
comfortable operating the boat at slow speeds, it is
safe to operate the boat farther from the shore.
3.
If the boat does not go straight, adjust the
ST TRIM
dial on the transmitter.
To adjust the steering servo travel, remove the
middle hatch
(with the machine guns attached).
NOTICE:
Ensure that the steering servo is not
operating the boat’s steering mechanism father than
physically possible or damage may occur to the servo
and moving parts.
4.
Turn down the
ST RATE
on the transmitter if you
want to reduce steering throw while you get used to
your model. Jet boats are prone to spinning out when
too much steering is applied at full throttle.
5.
Bring the boat back to shore when you notice the
boat starting to lose speed.
6.
Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery.
7.
Allow the motors, ESC and battery to cool before
charging the battery or operating the boat again.
NOTICE:
Do not turn off the transmitter first or the
receiver may pick up stray signals and run out of control.
IMPORTANT:
Inspect the moving parts for signs of wear.
Range Check
IMPORTANT:
Perform a range check at the beginning
of each boating session, after repair or after installation
of a new battery.
Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
1.
With the radio system powered on and connected,
walk away from your boat 90 feet (32 m).
2.
Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for
proper control movement of the steering mechanism
in response to your transmitter input.
3.
If everything appears to be operating correctly,
prepare to operate the boat in the water.
The front mounted gun turret is designed to accept a
standard 1/10 size servo with a 25 tooth spline. We
recommend a 3-channel radio with a switch or a dial
to operate the third channel in order to access the gun
turret.
IMPORTANT:
The included radio will not allow you to
use the gun turret.
