2. Remove the body clip that holds the lid to the radio box
and carefully remove the cover.
❏
3. Carefully uncoil the receiver antenna and route it
through the small hole on the side of the radio box and up
through the antenna hole.
❏
4. Slide the antenna wire through the antenna tube and
place the antenna tube into the rubber grommet. DO NOT
CUT OFF THE EXCESS ANTENNA WIRE!
Installation of Batteries
❏
1. Place four (4) new “AA” batteries into the receiver
battery holder. Be sure to follow the configuration molded
into the battery holder.
❏
2. Put the radio box cover back on and replace the body clip.
Check the Radio System:
❏
1. Standing behind the boat with both the vessel and
transmitter powered up, rotate the wheel to the left. The back
of the rudder should move towards the left. Move the wheel
to the right. The back of the rudder should move towards the
right. If this is not the case, simply move the steering servo
reverse switch to the other position.
❏
2. Squeeze the trigger on the transmitter; this should open
the throat of the carburetor. Conversely, moving the trigger
forward will close the throat completely.
❏
3. The adjustable steering rate knob (labeled D/R) located atop
the transmitter (see page 3) is the steering rate adjustment.
Turning the knob to the right increases the amount of travel of the
rudder while turning it to the left decreases the rudder amount of
travel. Beginners may want less amount of travel to start with.
Before running the engine, read the manual and watch the
video that came with this kit.
There are Several Simple Steps to Starting the Engine:
❏
1. Install a glow plug if one is not in your engine. The glow
plug threads into the top of the cylinder head.
❏
2. Fill the tank almost to the top. Leave a little air at the top
of the tank.
