THUNDER TIGER 5222-F, Инструкция по эксплуатации

Страница: 9 / 20

All the controls are described above.
Rudder and throttle functions are similar to other R/C models.
This submarine is capable to perform both static and dynamic dive.
For a full static dive, keep the motor idle and start the pump flooding the bag. You will see the waterline at the
turret become higher and higher until the entire submarine will be submerged and will go down vertically to
the bottom. The opposite command will cause the pump to empty the ballast bag and the submarine will raise
to the surface.
Dynamic dive is possible thanks to the speed of the boat and the action of the dive planes. The ideal situation
is reached when only the top ring of the turret is out of the water: at this point, start the motor full forward and
set the dive planes to the “down” position: the submarine will dive and you will have dynamic control of the
depth by operating the dive planes.
Pay attention to any collision. If the submarine is running in a swimming pool or any other place with hard
vertical walls, avoid any hit with these hard structures. The front elerator and hood might be damaged or even
broken.
Also, be aware to avoid algae, leafs or any other seaweed that may jam the propeller. If leafs or other are
tangled around the propeller shaft, its efficiency will be greatly reduced and the stress on the motor will be
much higher. This situation should be avoided in order not to have critical damages on the propulsion system.
If the submarine raises to the surface on its own, it’s possible that some safety function has switched on. Take
the submarine out of water and check the alarm code from the LED indicator on the PCB.
If the submarine raises to surface because of low battery, you will discover much lower motor power and no
capability of diving. At this point, recover immediately the sub before the battery is completely empty (Please
remember that the receiver is BEC-equipped and the power source is the same also for the electronics!).

MANTEINANCE AND PERIODICAL
CHECK UP
Remove the outer hull panels and clean every part.
Before storing the submarine for a long time keep the inner hull open, disconnet the battery and fuse.
Check the pressure sensor (try to over fill the ballast bag).
Check the fail safe system (switch off the RC transmitter and see if the protection system activates).
Check the low battery safety system.
Check the integrity of inner hull. No cracks on inner tube.
Check there is no leakage from the inner linkages and tubing.
Check the dive planes and rudder operating angles. Adjust control rods and TX trims if necessary.
Check the O-Ring status and correct tightening.
Check operation of the switches and of all the other water proof exits. Devices must be tightened but must
retain a smooth movement.
