Use only Evolution 2-Cycle Synthetic Oil and premium
gasoline mixed 32:1 to power the Blackjack 55. Fill the tank
completely and secure the fuel cap. Keep fuel in a moisture-
free environment, as stale fuel will cause the Zenoah
G26M engine to lose performance.
Before the first run of the Blackjack 55, 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.

1. With the radio system turned on (transmitter and
receiver) (engine off), walk off 40 to 50 paces from the
Blackjack 55.
m
2. Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for
proper control movement of the rudder from your
transmitter input.
m
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.

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.
