Introduction
This boat is not a toy! It is a high-performance RC 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 LLumar, 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 LLumar 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 LLumar in salt water.
If at any time while operating your Miss LLumar you sense any
abnormal function, end your operation immediately. Do not
operate your Miss LLumar again until you are certain the problem
has been corrected.
Because this is a scale high-performance model, the Miss LLumar
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.
