* Make sure that the specified batteries are installed properly, and that the
battery compartment hatch is screwed in and locked firmly before putting
the submarine into the water.

<Adjustment of the waterline>* The buoyancy of the submarine differs depending
on the nature of the water. Adjustments
should be made in the water where you
will actually be playing. Also, adjust in
shallow water where the submarine is
within easy reach.
Adjust the weight so that the waterline
(water surface) is within the width of the
check line both fore and aft, as shown in
the diagram. (If the submarine is too
heavy, there is the danger that it will sink.
If it is too light, it may not be able to dive
underwater as controlled.) Always keep
an eye on the position of the check line
and water surface while you are play-
ing. If the submarine starts to go out of
balance, stop operating and readjust the
weight.
To make the rear (aft) of the submarine
sink more deeply, turn the horizontal
weight stopper in the counterclockwise
direction and pull off. Increase the num-
ber of horizontal weights in the desired
position as needed. (As you increase the
weight in the aft, the entire hull will sink
deeper into the water.)

If the submarine is too light and floats too
high above surface, the submarine has
to be made heavier. Slide out the diving
weight case on the underside of the hull
to the side, and increase the number of
diving weights in the appropriate
position in the case.

[Danger!]
*Unless the trim (balance) is ad-
justed properly, the submarine
cannot be controlled as desired.
*If any other types of batteries be-
sides those specified are used,
there is the danger that the sub-
marine will become too heavy and
sink.
After exchanging batteries, check the trim and weight again.
