Operation
With the transmitter on, plug a fully charged battery into the ESC.
You will hear the motor beep three times letting you know the
motor and ESC have power. Moving the left stick forward should
result in counter clockwise rotation of the propeller. Moving the
stick back should result in the propeller turning clockwise. If
this not correct, unplug the battery and switch revising switch
3 and test again. (Default switch position is down.)
NOTE: The throttle trim lever allows more or less reverse
power without changing the full forward operation. To do this,
simply plug the battery in with the throttle trim lever in the lowest
position. During power up the system will program to this trim
setting. This will provide the least amount of reverse power.
Moving the trim lever to the top and plugging the battery in will
provide the most amount of reverse power. You can position the
trim lever within the extents of the movement to custom adjust
the amount of reverse you want by simply adjusting the throttle
trim lever up or down and plugging in the battery.
1. Turn the power on to the transmitter and receiver (in
that order).
2. Place the boat in water that is at least 12” deep and
free of weeds, sticks and obstacles.
3. Advance the throttle to half speed and note if the boat
has a tendency to turn right or left. Adjust the steering
trim on the transmitter until the boat runs straight when
the steering is at neutral.
4. After you have completed a run, unplug the boat’s power
battery. This safely powers down the boat. Then, turn
off your transmitter.
IMPORTANT: If your boat takes on a large amount of water
and stalls in the middle of the lake, don’t worry, your boat has
foam floatation so it will not sink. You will, however, have
to retrieve the boat and remove the cabin hatch and battery.
Remove any water that might have entered and allow the boat
to fully dry before operating it again.
Maintenance
It is important to remove and re-lubricate the drive system
after a day of running.
Make sure the battery pack is unplugged. Use a needle oiler
to place one drop of oil on each end of the motor shaft. as
well as each end of the drive shaft where shown.
