Aerotrooper 25-Inch Brushless Air Boat RTR

2

EN

Your new Horizon Hobby boat has been designed and 

built with a combination of waterproof and water-resistant 

components to allow you to operate the product in calm, fresh 

water conditions.
While the entire boat is highly water-resistant, it is not 

completely waterproof and your boat should NOT be treated 

like a submarine. The various electronic components used in 

the boat, such as the servo(s) and receiver are waterproof, 

however, most of the mechanical components are water-

resistant and require additional maintenance after use.

Metal parts, including the bearings, pins, screws and nuts, 

propeller, rudder, rudder mounts, prop struts, as well as the 

contacts in the electrical cables, will be susceptible to corrosion 

if additional maintenance is not performed after running in wet 

conditions. To maximize the long-term performance of your boat 

and to keep the warranty intact, the procedures described in 

the “Wet Conditions Maintenance” section must be performed 

regularly.

CAUTION: 

Failure to exercise caution while using this 

product and complying with the following precautions 

could result in product malfunction and/or void the warranty.

Water-Resistant Boat with Waterproof Electronics

As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for 

operating in a manner that does not endanger yourself and 

others or result in damage to the product or the property of 

others.

•  When handling and/or transporting your boat, always 

pick up the boat from the sides, keeping all moving parts 

pointed away from you. 

•  Always keep a safe distance in all directions around your 

model to avoid collisions or injury. This model is controlled 

by a radio signal subject to interference from many 

sources outside your control. Interference can cause 

momentary loss of control.

for this and any optional support equipment (chargers, 

rechargeable battery packs, etc.).

•  Always keep all chemicals, small parts and anything 

electrical out of the reach of children.

•  Always avoid water exposure to all equipment not 

specifically designed and protected for this purpose. 

Moisture causes damage to unprotected electronics.
