Introduction
This boat is not a toy! It is a high performance RC model boat.
Do not take risks that could endanger you or others.
Before operating your model, make sure your frequency is clear.
If someone else is operating on the same frequency, both models
could go out of control, possibly causing damage to the models,
as well as to others.
Be certain to check all of the hardware, exhaust system, and propeller,
making sure that all are secure before and after each run.
Always stay clear of the propeller when the engine is running!
When you first begin to run your ShockWave 36, place in water
with engine running at approximately
1
⁄
8
throttle. Slowly increase
throttle until boat accelerates onto plane. Gradually increase throttle
to no more than
1
⁄
2
until you become more familiar with the boat.
When operating this model, stay clear of people, full-sized boats,
stationary objects, and wildlife. Also, watch out for fishing lines
that could get tangled in the propeller. It is preferable to operate
the Pro Boat ShockWave 36 in low wake, low wind conditions. We
also suggest that you do not run the ShockWave 36 in salt water.
If at any time while operating your ShockWave 36 you sense any
abnormal function, end your operation immediately. Do not
operate your ShockWave 36 again until you are certain the
problem has been corrected.
