Stopping the Engine

Any time you want to stop the engine, especially if there

is a problem with the engine, stop the engine by pressing

the KILL switch.

CAUTION: Do not touch the engine and muffler.

They become extremely hot during operation and

can cause injury or fire.

Boating Tips

Avoid boating near other watercraft, stationary objects,

waves, wakes and other rapidly moving water, wildlife,

floating debris or overhanging trees. You should also be

careful to avoid boating in areas where there are many

people, such as swimming areas, park waterways or

fishing areas. Consult local laws and ordinances before

choosing a location to pilot your boat.
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 conditions so that the boat does not turn over.
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.

When making turns, decrease the throttle to reduce the

probability of flipping the boat over.
Never operate your boat in less than 12 inches (30.5cm)

of water.
If you need to retrieve your boat from the water, use

fishing equipment or another boat.

NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy waters,

the prop may exit and re-enter the water repeatedly and

very quickly, subjecting the propeller and flex shaft to

some stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller

and flex shaft.

CAUTION: Never operate your boat in extreme

temperatures or turbulent water.

CAUTION: Never attempt to retrieve a downed

boat by swimming.

When You Are Finished

1. Power off the receiver.
2. Power off the transmitter.
3. Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat.

CAUTION: Never power off the transmitter or

receiver before stopping the engine. You will lose

control of your vehicle.

Tip: Always remove the canopy before storage or

moisture may allow mold and mildew to grow in the boat.
