Maintenance

Lube the gears inside the Tiger drive with

waterproof grease every 30 hours of use.

Check all screws for tightness after each run.

Lubrication

It is important to lubricate the flex shaft

of the Formula FASTech with silicone cable

grease after every two hours of operation.

Do not forget to do this or flex shaft damage

can occur. You can purchase this silicone

grease at your local hobby store (PRB0100 or

PRB0101). To lubricate the drive shaft, follow

these simple instructions.

1. Carefully note how the drive shaft and

prop are presently installed. This is

important so that when you have finished

lubricating the drive shaft, you can

correctly re-install it.

Make sure the radio is "ON". Test the radio

system for proper operation and then

carefully place the boat in the water. Pilot

the boat at slow speeds, staying close to

the shoreline to ensure you have good

control and that the boat is functioning

correctly. Be certain to avoid all objects in

the water at all times.

Once you feel comfortable with the control of

your boat, it is safe to go further away from

the shoreline and at faster speeds.
