❏
2. Slide the battery door open on the bottom of the
transmitter and install eight (8) fresh “AA” batteries. Follow the
diagram located in the bottom of the battery try for proper
battery orientation.
❏
3. Turn the transmitter “ON”. The battery light should glow
bright red in color. If the light does not turn on, re-check the
installation of the batteries. If the light flashes and beeps the
batteries are worn out and need to be replaced.
ATTACHING THE MASTS AND RIGGING THE SAILS
NOTE: The Kings Ransom comes with two stands. One is for
displaying the ship without the keel and the other is for at the
pond with the keel attached. Use the pond stand
during assembly.
NOTE: For the purpose of this manual we are using light
color string making it easier to see the line in some of the
pictures. Your ship will come with the proper color string.
Upon opening the sail box you will find a numbering system to
help you place the masts and rigging in there proper places on
the ships deck and sides. Do not remove the labels until after you
have completed assembly of the ship. Take your time rigging the
sails and masts, adjusting them to your likeness.
NOTE: The numbers you see in the pictures of this manual
might be different then they are on your ship. The numbering
system is for your reverence only and should not be
compared to our photos.
Let’s start from the front (Bow) of the ship and work our way
to the back (Stern).
Remove the sail bags and other parts from the sail box.
Carefully remove the sails and mast from bag one and set the
others aside.
BOWSPRIT AND FORE MAST (BAG 1)
NOTE: For ship part names please refer to the illustration on
page 12.
❏
1. First, slide the fore (front) mast into the first mounting hole in
the top of the deck. The spacer washers for the masts (found in the
parts bag) are used to adjust the tension of the side rigging if
desired. We recommend starting without washers and adding
them one at a time as needed to achieve the desired tension. Let
the side rigging fall to the sides of the ship with the corresponding
numbers dictating on which side to attach the rigging.
❏
2. Carefully slide the bowsprit into the locating hole on the
bow (front) of the ship.
NOTE: If you like you can epoxy the bowsprit into the
mounting hole but we recommend you do so after all the
masts and rigging are completed.
