de-rimming
-
Place the ready to drive model in a bathtub.
-
When using the recommended robbe components,
immersion to the design waterline (CWL) is automatic. For
trimming, the batteries can be moved longitudinally and
the RC components laterally.
-
If necessary, the model can be brought to the
waterline (CWL) by adding "Trimmblei".
-
When using other RC components, the boat must be re-
trimmed.
-
After charging all batteries, the model is ready for maiden
voyage.
performance check
-
Place the model in the boat stand. Set truncheons and
trimmings at the transmitter to neutral position. The throttle
control must be in the "Engine off" position.
-
Switch on the transmitter. Insert the drive batteries,
connect them to the controller and secure them.
-
The rudder must be in the middle position. If necessary,
readjust the rudder linkage.
-
Check right/left function. If the direction of rotation of the
transmitter servo is reversed, actuate the transmitter servo
reverse.
-
Check engine operation:
-
If necessary (e.g. when using components other than
those recommended by us), change the running direction
by changing the cables between motor and controller.
-
Check all built-in special functions.
Attention with motor test runs
Always turn on the transmitter first!
Always run the engine briefly and slowly.
-
-
First disconnect the battery - controller, then
switch off the transmitter!
Caution
: When working on the boat with the drive
battery connected, always ensure that the
propeller can rotate freely. Do not place your
hands in the propeller's turning circle - risk of
injury.
Notes on driving
-
Before initial operation, read the sections "Routine checks
before start-up" and "Model operation" in the section
"Safety instructions".
-
Choose a day that is not too windy and a larger water
body.
-
Always switch on the transmitter first, then insert and
connect the drive battery.
-
Place the model in the boat stand and perform another
functional test.
-
Place the model horizontally in the water.
-
First get used to the steering reactions of the model at
medium driving speed.
-
Remove the accelerator to slow down. Do not switch from
full throttle forward to full throttle reverse.
-
Caution: Driving backwards should only be done very
slowly.
-
When driving to the shore or near obstacles, for example
buoys, always lower the engine in time.
-
Do not drive near floats or boats.
advice
:
−
Towards the end of the driving time the battery will
wear out in a short time, the model will slow down
considerably. If the model no longer reaches the
shore, it is necessary to move the controller to the
"Stop" position and wait for approx. 3 minutes. After
switching on again, the boat can be driven to the
shore.
−
If driving is stopped, first disconnect the connection
from the drive battery to the controller, then switch off
the transmitter.
−
Cool down the battery and engine when the boat is
open and allow the inside of the boat to dry
(condensation).
−
From time to time it is recommended to loosen and
pull out the shaft. Grease the stern tube with precision
grease and reinstall the shaft. Ensure sufficient
longitudinal clearance of the shaft.
