Introduction
This boat is not a toy! It is a high performance R/C model boat.
Do not take risks that could endanger you or others.
Before operating your model, make sure your frequency is clear.
If someone else is operating on the same frequency, both models
could go out of control, possibly causing damage to the models,
as well as to others.
Be certain to check all of the hardware, exhaust system, and propeller,
making sure that all are secure before and after each run. Always
keep clear of the propeller when the engine is running!
When you first begin to run your Miss Budweiser, place in water
with engine running at approximately 1/4 throttle. Slowly increase
throttle until boat accelerates onto plane. Gradually increase throttle
to no more than 1/2 until you become more familiar with the boat.
Remember, this boat makes right turns only!
When operating this model, stay clear of people, full-sized boats,
stationary objects, and wildlife. Also, watch out for fishing lines
that could get tangled in the propeller. It is preferable to operate
the Pro Boat
™ Miss Budweiser in low wake, low wind conditions
and in areas free of people, objects, and wildlife. We also suggest
that you do not run the Miss Budweiser in salt water.
If at any time while operating your Miss Budweiser you sense
any abnormal function, end your operation immediately. Do not
operate your Miss Budweiser again until you are certain the
problem has been corrected.
Because this is a scale high-performance model, the Miss
Budweiser has been set up to turn to the right only! Do not
attempt left turns or you will flip the boat. If you need to turn
left, reduce throttle and turn in a very large diameter oval.
