general guidelines
It is important that you read and follow this instruction manual, along
with the radio system manual before you run this exciting boat. Failure to
read and understand the manual could result is personal injury, property
damage or permanent damage to your boat. It is also important to run
your boat responsibly. With proper care and maintenance, you will be
able to proudly enjoy your boat for many years to come.
When operating the boat, stay clear of people, full-scale boats, stationary
objects and wildlife. It is preferable to operate your boat in low wake, low
wind conditions and in areas free of people, wildlife and objects.
Check all of the hardware, and the propeller for damage and loose
screws before and after each run.
If at any time while operating your boat you sense any abnormal function,
end your operation immediately. Do not operate your boat again until you
are certain the problem has been corrected.
