ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION MANUAL

WARNING:

 

1.  Never attempt to swim after a stalled R/C boat. 

 

2.  Never operate your R/C boat while standing in the water.

 

3.  Never operate your R/C boat in the presence of swimmers.

 4. 

 

Always use a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) when boarding and operating your retrieval 
craft, i.e. Jon boat or duck boat. NOTE: Because of the sharp running hardware included 
with this R/C boat, we do not recommend using a rubber blow up raft.

 5. 

 

The engine and exhaust system become very hot during operation. Avoid coming in contact 
with any part of the motor, cooling system or exhaust during or after operation.

 6. 

 

R/C boat running hardware is very sharp. Be very careful when working on and around the 
metal parts.

 7. 

 

While the engine is running, pay close attention to the propeller. Do not come in contact 
with the propeller at any time the engine is running or serious injury will result.

 

8.  AquaCraft products are to be used by ages 14 and over.
