Maintenance and Inspection

1. Check for excess water in the hull after every use. If you do nd excess water in the hull, pay

extra special attention to installing the top hatch, ensuring the silicon seal is correctly in place.

2. Always remove the Li-Ion battery from the boat after use.

3. After use, store the boat in the shade or inside to prevent the sun fading the paint.

4. Never use chemicals to clean the boat as this may also damage the paint.

5. The boat is designed for fresh water use only. If the boat comes into contact with brackish or

salty water, remove battery and wash the boat throughly with fresh water as soon as possible

to remove all the salty water.

6. After use, clean the boat using fresh water. Make sure you dry the boat inside and out using a

dry cloth or paper towel. This will keep the hull and hatch of the boat looking clean and new.

7. When you are nished using the boat, make sure you have removed the batteries from the

boat and the transmitter. This will prevent damage in the event of a battery leak.

If the boat turns slightly to the left when it

should be going straight ahead, slowly rotate

the ne adjustment knob on the tranmitter

clockwise until it travels in a straight line.

The torque effect produced will right the boat and allow you

keep using the vehicle without having to manually retreive it.

If the boat turns slightly to the right when it

should be going straight ahead, slowly rotate

the ne adjustment knob on the tranmitter

counter-clockwise until it travels in a straight line.

If the boat ips over and remains upside down, push the
