Boating Tips
Avoid boa ng near other watercra , sta onary
objects, waves, wakes and other rapidly moving
water. Also make sure to avoid opera ng the boat
near wildlife, fl oa ng debris, or overhanging trees
that come near the surface of the water. You should
also be cau ous to avoid boa ng in areas where
there are people swimming or in park waterways and
fi shing areas. Before using on a pond or lake consult
local laws and ordinances before choosing a loca on
to run your boat.
You should only drive at maximum speeds when the
water condi ons are smooth and there is minimal
wind.
When running your boat for the fi rst me, it is
recommended that you look for calm wind and
water condi ons so that you can learn how the boat
responds to your control.
When making turns, it is suggested that you decrease
the thro le slightly to avoid fl ipping the boat over.
Never operate your boat in less than 3 inches (8cm) of
water.
Motor Care
• You can prolong motor life by preven ng
condi ons that overheat the motor. Driving with
frequent starts, stops, turns or pushing items in
the water can overheat the motor. Other driving
condi ons like con nually running at high speed
or through rough water or water vegeta on will
also cause excessive heat and damage the motor.
Make sure you avoid these situa ons whenever
possible.
• Though the ESC is equipped with overheat
protec on, it does not protect the motor from
overhea ng due to extra resistance from the
driving condi ons men oned above.
When Finished Running
• First, power off the ESC by disconnec ng the
ba ery.
• Next, turn the transmi er off .
• Then, remove the ba ery from the boat.
TIP: Always store the boat open – with the hatch
removed, so that the inside of the boat is allowed
to completely dry. Excessive moisture allowed to
remain in the hull can all mold or mildew to grow and
damage the components.
NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy waters, the prop my exit and re-enter the water
quickly and repeatedly. This will subject the propeller to some stress which may eventually cause
damage to the point it will need to be replaced.
CAUTION: Do not operate this product in vinyl covered or infl atable pools. Sharp components may
