STEP 1. Battery Charging

NOTE: For best battery performance,

deplete each charge before recharging.To do

this, run your boat as indicated in Step 8, then

put the boat on the boat stand or hold it

carefully to keep your body and clothing clear

of the prop. Run the motor until the battery

is nearly depleted.Your battery is now ready

to be recharged.

• Plug charger into 110V AC wall outlet.

• Plug battery connector into charger connector.

• Push together completely.

• The battery comes partially charged, so

charge only 11⁄2hours the first time to prevent

overcharging. Subsequent charges should be

3 hours.

• When battery becomes warm, it is fully charged.

Stop charging immediately.

• Please check page 22 for other important

information about charging your battery pack.

STEP 4. Rudder Test

• Move the rudder stick

(right stick on transmitter)

side to side. The rudder should

move as shown in the drawings.

• The small lever under the rudder

stick is called a trim lever and is

used to adjust the "neutral"

point of your control stick.To

do this, place the rudder stick

in neutral (center) position. If

rudder is not aligned straight

ahead, use the rudder trim

lever to center it.

STEP 5. Motor Test

CAUTION: Keep everything

clear of the propeller. A moving

propeller can cause injury.

• The small lever next to the throttle

stick (left stick on transmitter) is called

a throttle trim lever. With your boat on

the stand, transmitter turned on, and

battery installed, make sure the throttle

trim lever is in the center position.

• If motor is running, gradually move the

trim lever down until the motor stops.

• Move throttle stick (left stick on

transmitter) up. Motor speed will

increase as this stick is moved up.

STEP 6. Range Test

You'll need two people to do the range test: one to

hold the transmitter and the other to hold the boat.

Remember to keep your body and clothing clear of

the moving prop while holding the boat.

• As one person holds the transmitter, the other

walks 100 paces away with the boat.

• Extend transmitter antenna completely and turn

transmitter on.

• Plug in boat battery and close canopy.

• As the person with the transmitter moves both

control sticks, the person with the boat watches to

be sure the boat’s motor and rudder operate

properly.

If boat does not range test correctly, do not run it

in water. Call Horizon Hobby Product Support

staff toll-free at 1-877-504-0233 for directions on

how to proceed.

STEP 7. Choosing your location

CAUTION: Parents, do not allow young

children to go the lake or pool unsuper-

vised. Be safe and stay away from steep

grades near shorelines where you or those

with you could slip and fall into the water.

• Choose a location that is not being used by

swimmers when you are running your boat.

• If you choose a lake, be sure there is no moss,

grass, weeds or debris present that could get

wrapped around the propeller or trap your boat

offshore.

• Make sure the shoreline is clear and relatively flat

so you can easily launch, operate and retrieve

your boat.

DO NOT mix radio control

boating and swimming.

DO NOT swim to retrieve

your boat.

Do not operate your boat near

moss, grass, weeds, brush, etc.
