22
1. Read and follow this manual completely, observing all
instructions, Warnings, Importants, Watch Outs!, and safety
directions; otherwise serious injury and damage can occur.
Think:
Safety First
.
2. Keep propeller away from body parts, even when it isn’t
spinning, as you or someone else might turn the boat on
by accident. Beware of hair becoming entangled in the
propeller, especially when launching the Zig Zag Racer
™
or
injury may occur.
3. NEVER SWIM to retrieve your boat. Do not operate
your Zig Zag Racer near people, as injury may occur.
Never allow anyone to attempt to catch the Zig Zag Racer
while it is running or serious injury can result.
4. Adult supervision is recommended for ages 12 and under.
5.
Battery Charging:
Only use a battery charger intended
for use with the Zig Zag battery. Never leave a charger
unattended while charging. Before charging, always be sure
to deplete the power from the battery by running it in the
Zig Zag Racer until the propeller stops. This will help prevent
overcharging. While charging, place the battery on a heat-
resistant surface. DO NOT lay it on carpet while charging.
NEVER charge the battery with the included charger for
more than 3 hours, as overcharging may cause excessive heat
in the battery, causing injury, damage and poor battery life
and performance—voiding the warranty.
6. Never cut into the battery, charger, or boat wires, or serious
injury can occur. Causing the battery to “short out” (crossing
negative and postivie bare wires) can cause a fire, serious
injury and damange.
7. When operating your Zig Zag Racer, ALWAYS turn on the
transmitter BEFORE you plug the battery into the Zig Zag
Racer. When you finish running your Zig Zag Racer,
always
unplug the battery BEFORE you turn off the transmitter.
8. Never operate on the same frequency as another boater in
your area.The frequency of your Zig Zag Racer is shown on
stickers on the back of the transmitter and on top of the
radio box inside the canopy.
