• Use care to avoid touching the propeller anytime the
motor is operating. Pay equally close attention to items
such as loose clothing, shirtsleeves, ties, scarves, long hair
or loose objects such as screwdrivers or pencils that may
fall out of shirt or jacket pockets on to the spinning prop.
If your fingers, hands, etc. come in contact with the
spinning propeller, you may be severely injured.
• Because of the speed and mass of this boat, it is capable
of inflicting property damage and severe personal injury if
a collision occurs. Never run this boat in the presence of
swimmers or where the possibility of collision with people
or property exists.
• Radio Control boats are controlled by radio signals, which
are subject to possible interference from other R/C
transmitters, paging systems or other electrical noise.
Before turning your radio on, make sure no one else in the
area is operating a radio on the same frequency (channel).
• Use safety glasses when starting or running your boat.
The propeller may throw loose material such as sand or
gravel into your face.
• The metal hardware on your boat can be sharp. Be careful
handling the parts.
• The brushless motor may become hot. After a run allow
the motor to cool before touching it.
If the buyer is not prepared to accept the liability associated
with the use of this product, the buyer is advised to return
this kit immediately in new and unused condition to the
place of purchase.
