Before the first run of the HyperSport 48, you

should check the radio for proper operation

and to ensure proper control movement of

the rudder and throttle. Also ensure that the

antenna on the boat is extended properly and

that all batteries are in working condition.

The shorter receiver antenna may be left

inside the radio box. Confirm that it does not

interfere with any linkages.

1. With the radio system turned on

(transmitter and receiver) and with the

engine off, walk off 40 to 50 paces from

the HyperSport 48.

2. Have an assistant remain with the boat

to check for proper control movement of

the rudder from your transmitter input.

3. If everything appears to be operating

correctly, start the engine. Place the boat

in the water and run it (at about 1⁄3

throttle) close to the shoreline. If the radio

system is operating properly, you can

begin to run the boat faster and further

away from the shoreline.

Note: It is a good idea to

range check prior to operating

your boat after any repair,

installation of new batteries,

or at the beginning of each

boating session.

Radio Failsafe

The Spektrum DX3S radio system has a built-

in failsafe that returns the throttle to neutral

in the event of signal loss. See the radio's

instruction manual for instructions on how to

set the failsafe position.

Fill the tank with 2-cycle fuel and firmly

tighten the fuel cap.

Note: The Zenoah G26M

carburetor is factory adjusted to

deliver optimum performance.

See the Zenoah Engine manual

for fine-tuning adjustments

and other helpful information

to make your RC boating

experience trouble-free.

Priming the Engine

Press the priming bulb several times until it

becomes filled with fuel. This is not necessary

if the engine has recently been run.
