Horizon Harbor 30-Inch Tug Boat
Your new Horizon Hobby boat has been designed and
built with a combination of waterproof and water-resistant
components to allow you to operate the product in calm,
fresh water conditions.
While the entire boat is highly water-resistant, it is
not completely waterproof and your boat should NOT
be treated like a submarine. The various electronic
components used in the boat, such as the servo(s)
and receiver are waterproof, however, most of the
mechanical components are water-resistant and require
additional maintenance after use.
Metal parts, including the bearings, pins, screws and
nuts, propeller, rudder, rudder mounts, prop struts,
as well as the contacts in the electrical cables, will be
susceptible to corrosion if additional maintenance is not
performed after running in wet conditions. To maximize
the long-term performance of your boat and to keep the
warranty intact, the procedures described in the “Wet
Conditions Maintenance” section must be performed
regularly.
CAUTION:
Failure to exercise caution while using
this product and complying with the following
precautions could result in product malfunction and/or
void the warranty.
