shore or use a tennis ball attached to the end of a fishing
rod to retrieve a stalled or capsized boat.
• It is dangerous to operate any R/C model at any time that
there is not sufficient light.
• R/C models produce vibrations which will cause screws,
nuts, bolts, etc, on your model to become loose over
time. It is important to make sure that all hardware is
secure before operating your model.
• The edges of the propeller are very sharp and can cut your
fingers if you are not careful. At no time should you ever
attempt to stop the prop with your hand. In the event that
weeds become entangled in the propeller, turn the EP1’s
power “OFF” before attempting to remove them.
• Total run time of the EP1 can vary depending upon what
battery pack and ESC combination you are using. When
you notice a decrease in power or sluggish steering
response, it means the battery pack is nearly drained and
it’s time to head for shore. As soon as the boat reaches
shore, turn off the power to the boat’s receiver and
transmitter (in that order).
• CAUTION: Your motor and battery may be hot! Allow
them to cool for a few minutes before attempting to
remove the battery pack.
• Adult supervision is strongly recommended! Children
should be warned about the dangers of playing in close
proximity to water.
• R/C boats are controlled by radio signals, which are
susceptible to possible interference from other R/C
transmitters, paging systems, or other electrical noise.
Before turning your radio transmitter and receiver on,
make sure no one else in the area is operating a radio on
the same frequency (channel).
• Do not touch the propeller anytime the electronics are
turned “ON.” Pay close attention to items such as loose
clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarves, long hair or any
loose objects that may come in contact with the spinning
propeller. If your fingers, hands, etc. come in contact
with the spinning propeller, you may be severely injured.
• The speed and mass of R/C boats can inflict property
damage and severe personal injury if a collision occurs.
Never run an R/C boat in the presence of swimmers or
where the possibility of collision with people, wildlife, or
property exists.
• Electric motors can generate considerable heat. Do not
touch any part of your motor until it has cooled.
Touching the motor immediately after running the boat
may result in a serious burn.
If the buyer is not prepared to accept the liability associated
with the use of this product, the buyer is advised to return
the EP1 immediately in new and unused condition to the
place of purchase.
