detected.
•
1 short beep will sound and the LED will turn solid
when the ESC is ready to run.
NOTICE:
Pressing and holding the ESC SET button for 3 seconds
allows you to change the battery chemistry from LiPo to
NiMH. Refer to Electronic Speed Control (ESC) Programing
for more information.
7.
Install the canopy on the hull.
If the boat turns over, release the throttle until the boat
comes to a stop. Return the boat to upright by applying a
short throttle burst.
The boat sitting in the water normally leans to the battery
side. Apply throttle to level the boat. No weight adjust-
ment is necessary.
NOTICE:
The included weighted motor coupler aids self-righting
after the boat has flipped and full throttle is applied. This
coupler is intended for use with the included battery or
other batteries with a 4000mAh maximum capacity.
1.
Power off the receiver by pressing the power
button for 2 seconds.
2.
Power off the transmitter.
3.
Disconnect and remove the battery from the
boat.
Tip:
Always remove the canopy before storage or
moisture may allow mold and mildew to grow in
the boat. Drain water from inside the hull using the
drain plug.
•
Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat,
including the water cooling lines and jacket
around the motor
•
Remove the hatch before storing your boat
•
Repair any damage or wear to the boat
•
Make note of lessons learned from the trimming
of your boat, including water and wind condi-
tions
Tip:
The hook and loop strips in the boat retain
water. To dry them, press on them with a dry cloth.
When running your boat for the first time, we recommend calm wind and water conditions so that you can learn
how the boat responds to your control.
Maximum speeds are only achieved when the water conditions are smooth and there is little wind. A sharp turn,
wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is moving quickly. Always pilot your boat for the wind and water con-
ditions so that the boat does not turn over.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to pilot your boat.
Avoid boating near:
•
watercraft
•
people (swimming areas, fishing areas)
•
stationary objects
•
waves, wakes
•
rapidly moving water
•
wildlife
•
floating debris
•
overhanging trees
•
vegetation
NOTICE:
The boat may not self right in extremely
rough water. Proceed to calmer water and follow
the selfrighting steps.
Tip:
The boat will be easier to self-right when
powered by a 14.8V battery.
To self-right the boat in calm water:
1.
Apply a burst of reverse.
2.
Apply a burst of full throttle. The boat should rock
and right itself.
To self-right the boat in rough water:
1.
Release the throttle.
2.
Apply a burst of forward, reverse and forward
throttle. The boat should rock and right itself.
CAUTION:
Repeated failed attempts to self-right may cause the electronics to overheat.
NOTICE:
When you are finished boating, never leave the
boat in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area
such as a car. Doing so can damage the boat.
