Attention!
Never attempt to recharge any primary cell batteries used as a power supply. Only rechargeable (i.e.
secondary cell) batteries may be charged.
Attention!
The remote control unit‘s effective range must be checked prior to operation of the model. To check this,
switch the model on then walk with it away from the transmitter as far as about 100 m while a helper
operates various controls on the transmitter. At this distance it must be possible to operate all model
functions without any problem.
Attention!
Check if the radio channel to be used is free. Never operate the model if it is not sure that the radio
channel is free.
Attention!
Pay attention to radio devices or transmitters which could substantially affect the model‘s functionality.
Try to ensure that such devices are not operated in the vicinity while the model is being operated.
Attention!
Do not exceed the recommended power supply voltage. Higher voltage can lead to motor and/or speed
regulator overheating or melt wiring conductors. This can destroy the model.
Attention!
Pay attention to the smooth, free movement of all drive components. This is particularly applicable
while the model is operating because leaves and other materials in the water can get caught up in drive
components. If this should happen, the motors and/or speed regulator can be destroyed by overload
conditions.
Attention!
Batteries must never be short-circuited or come into direct contact with water.
Attention!
Never operate the model on strongly moving water (e.g. a river) as the model may drift away if it beco-
mes disabled.
Attention!
Never endanger yourself or others in an attempt to recover the model.
Notice!
Remove the battery/batteries from the model when it is not in use.
Notice!
Do not expose the model to strong humidity, hot or cold temperatures or contamination.
Notice!
Do not expose the model for extended periods to strong sunlight or the radiating heat of hot lamps. The
different expansion coefficients of the hull and wooden deck materials can cause cracks.
Notice!
Protect the model and transmitter against damage or slipping while they are being transported.
