Filling the Fuel Tank

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.

Range Checking the Pro Boat Radio System

Before the first run of the Formula FASTech,

range check the radio for proper operation

and ensure proper control movement of the

rudder and throttle. Also confirm that the

antenna on the boat is extended properly and

that all batteries are in working condition.

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.

With the radio system turned on (transmitter,

then the receiver) and the transmitter

antenna down (engine off), walk away from

the boat and confirm that you have control

from at least 20 yards.

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 Nitro engine manual). Place

the boat in the water and run it (at about 1⁄3

throttle) close to the shoreline. If everything

is operating properly, you can begin to run

the boat faster and further away from the

shoreline.
