GREASE THE DRIVESHAFT

Remove the driveshaft by loosening the two
4mm screws from the outer strut housing.

Slide the inner strut assembly with shaft out of
the boat. Wipe away any oil and grease.

Re-grease the shaft using GrimRacer Speed Grease
(AQUB9500). Re-install the shaft and inner strut housing,
making sure the two 4mm screws are tight.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• After a day of running, start your engine and choke it while

it is running to get a lot of fuel into the engine. Run it for
about 30 seconds, constantly choking the engine. Afterwards
it is a good idea to cover the inlet to the carburetor to keep
foreign materials out and moisture from entering the motor.

• For long term (winter) storage it is a good idea to fl ood the

engine as described above as well as coating the inside
of the engine with After Run Oil 2 oz (HCAP3000)

• Before transporting your model, remove all of

the gasoline from the tank and lines and make
sure your oil line shut off clip is locked.

RADIO BOX MAINTENANCE

• When fi nished running, open the radio box and leave the

radio box lid off overnight to allow any water to evaporate.
Remove standing water by pulling out the drain plug and
draining away any water that might have entered the hull.

• Remove and toss out the old batteries.
