• No wheels

• Goes on floor, dirt, pavement, ice, snow

• Multi-terrain capable

• Goes on fresh water (pool, pond or lake, not salt/sea/

ocean water)

• True amphibious hovercraft

• High-power, double motor design

• Real rubber air bag skirt

• Rides on cushion of air created by lift fan blowing downward and into air bag

“skirt”.

• Needs flat, smooth, clean surface so skirt can “seal” with ground for best results.

• Not for use on rough or broken pavement/ground, carpet, rocks, pebbles, grass,

decking, hills, inclines or any surface that “lets the air out” or damages skirt.

• Pilot must keep craft within radio and battery life range on water to ensure retrieval.

• Not a boat; needs lift fan on with full power and air bag skirt inflated to float properly.

• Battery life 10-15 minutes between charges, depending on battery.

• Skirt is durable but can puncture on sharp rocks, sticks.

OWNER’S MANUAL

Safety First

• Don’t touch or try to pick up hovercraft when it is in motion. Wait until it stops completely.
• Keep hair, fingers, face and loose clothing away from top and rear propellers while the hovercraft is switched on or while the transmitter is

operating.

• Be a responsible Mini Jet Hovercraft™ operator!

NOTICE: EXOTIC HOVERCRAFT! NOTE SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS

How it Works

Lift fan/air compressor blows downward, inflating air bag skirt, which seals with the ground and creates a cushion of air under the hovercraft.
Propellers at rear of hovercraft provide thrust for movement along the ground.
