Section 2: Turn Fin
Section 3: Filling the Fuel Tank
The Miss LLumar comes with the turn fin installed on the right
sponson. You will want you run the Miss LLumar in an oval and in
an area that will allow you to make right turns (clockwise). Do not attempt to make tight left hand turns (counterclockwise),
or you could easily flip the boat. If you need to make a left turn,
do so in a large diameter turn at slow speeds.
We recommend that you use Blue Thunder ™ 20% fuel. For
maximum performance, we recommend Blue Thunder Race
Formula. Blue Thunder fuels are specifically formulated for
excellent power and engine protection.
Locate the fuel tank inside the cockpit area and unscrew the lid.
Use either the DYN2009 Fast Tap
™ quart bottle spout that has
been attached to the quart of fuel or the DYN2003 Fuel Bottle to fill
the fuel tank with your selection of Blue Thunder fuel. After you
have filled the fuel tank and re-installed the lid, wipe away any
excess fuel that may have been spilled inside the hull or elsewhere
on the boat. Immediately seal the fuel container by putting the lid
back on after refueling in order to protect the fuel from moisture.
Section 4: Range Checking the JR Python Radio System
Before the first run of the Miss LLumar, range 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.
1. With the radio system turned on (transmitter and receiver)
and the transmitter antenna down (engine off), walk off 40 to
50 paces from the Miss LLumar.
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, raise the
antenna and start the engine (refer to Section 5 of this manual
and to the separate DYN .15 engine manual). Place the boat in
the water and run it (at about
1 ⁄
3
throttle) close to the shore-
line. 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 season.
Section 5: The Dynamite .15 Marine Engine
Water-Cooled Engine
Because the Dynamite
® 15S engine is water-cooled and not air-
cooled, make sure that you do not run the engine for an extended
amount of time outside of the water. Continuously monitor the
water outlet when the boat is running to make sure that the water
is reaching the engine head. If the water does not reach the head
to cool it, the engine will overheat and fail. This could cause per-
manent damage to the engine.
Pro Mix Carburetor
The Dynamite .15 engine comes equipped with the Dynamite Pro
Mix Carburetor. Each Pro Mix Carburetor is pre-adjusted at the
factory. This setting should be approximately 3
1 ⁄
2
turns open for
the high-speed and 2 1 ⁄
2
turns open for the low-speed needle. This
should give you a slightly "rich" mixture of fuel to the engine. This
setting is the safest way to break in your engine. For further
details regarding the Pro Mix Carburetor, please consult Section 2
of the Dynamite .15S instruction manual.
Note: When using the pull-starter, never pull the rope out to its
full length as doing so can cause damage and the rope may not
retract. Quick, short pulls of the starter rope are the best
technique to use with the pull-starter.
If the pull-starter becomes very difficult to pull, the engine may be
hydro-locked. Excessive fuel between the head and piston will not
let the piston travel to TDC (Top Dead Center). Loosen the glow
plug one turn and try to start the engine. If the engine starts,
re-tighten the glow plug with the attached glow driver while the
engine is running. If you are still unable to get your engine to
start, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide (page 8) in this manual.
