Thank you for purchasing the ABC

Hobby Typhoon

™

562 EP Ready-To-Run boat.

Please read these instructions carefully

before attempting to operate your boat.

The Typhoon 562 EP comes Ready-To-

Run with the JR

™

Python AM radio system

and mechanical speed controller already

installed. All assembly and building is done

at the factory, allowing you to quickly get

your boat running.

You will need to purchase the following

items to get your boat on the water:

• 12 “AA” alkaline batteries for the

radio system

• 7.2V Ni-Cd

Battery Pack

with Tamiya

Connector

(DYN1000)

• Ni-Cd Battery

Fast Charger

(DYN4010)

Step 1: Inspection

1. Carefully remove the boat, foam boat

stand and radio transmitter from the box.

2. Inspect the boat and make sure that no

damage is present. If you notice damage,

please contact the hobby shop from

where you purchased it.

Step 2:

Installation of

Radio Batteries

Note: Read the JR

™

Python radio system

Operation Manual to get accustomed to

your radio.

1. Install 8 "AA" alkaline batteries into the

transmitter with respect to proper polarity

as described in the radio instructions.

2. Remove the scale pilot cockpit and

the battery tray to access the receiver

battery box.

3. Install 4 "AA" alkaline batteries into

the radio box as described in the

radio instructions.

Step 3: Checking

the Radio System

1. Turn on the transmitter. The LEDs on the

transmitter should all glow, indicating

fully charged batteries.

2. Move the receiver switch to the ON

position. When the steering wheel is

rotated clockwise, the rudder servo arm

moves toward the front of the boat,

initiating a right turn.

3. Squeeze the throttle trigger. Notice that

the throttle servo moves the speed

control toward 1 and 2 forward speeds.

Note: If any of these functions are

reversed, change the respective reversing

switch position (see radio manual).

4. Secure the battery tray with the included

clear tape.

Step 4: Checking

the Drive System

1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver

switch. Be sure the speed control is

in the neutral (N) position.

2.Connect a fully charged 7.2V Battery Pack

(DYN1000) to the speed control.

3. With the propeller free from any objects,

briefly squeeze the throttle trigger. The

propeller should rotate. If it does not, the

battery may need charged or the speed

control fuse may need to be replaced.

Step 5: Testing

Your Boat in

the Water

1. Make sure that the radio is on and

the battery is plugged into the speed

controller and motor. Carefully place

the boat in the water.

2. Pilot the boat at slow speeds, staying

close to the shoreline to ensure that you

have good control and that the boat is

functioning correctly. Be certain to avoid

all objects in the water. Once you feel

comfortable with the control of your

boat, it is safe to go further away from

the shoreline and at faster speeds.

Step 5: Continued

3. When you notice the boat beginning to

lose speed, bring the boat back to shore.

It will be necessary to replace or recharge

the battery before heading out again.

Step 6:

Maintenance

Before and after each run, make sure that all

screws are tight and that the propeller is

free from any entanglements.

Note: Running the Typhoon

™

562 EP

RTR in salt water could cause some parts

to rust. If you do run the boat in salt

water, rinse it thoroughly in fresh water

after each use.

If you have any questions concerning the

setup or operation of the Typhoon 562 EP,

please call the Horizon Service Center

toll-free at (877) 504-0233.
