DRY THE BOAT

When you have finished running your RIO EP for the day
there are a few steps that need to be taken before it is put
away to keep your boat in top running condition.

1. Remove the drain plug and cowl to drain any water from

the hull. Wipe it dry inside and out.

2. Remove the radio box tape and lid and drain any water out

of the radio box. Do not reseal the radio box or reinstall the
cowl until it is time to run your Rio EP again. This will allow
time for trapped moisture to dry.

LUBRICATE THE DRIVE CABLE

1. It is important to remove and lubricate the drive cable after

a day of running. To lubricate the drive cable you will need
the following:

1.5mm Allen wrench

GrimRacer Cable Grease (AQUB900)

Paper towels.

2. After checking to be sure the battery pack is unplugged,

use a 1.5mm Allen wrench to loosen the set screws that
secure the drive cable to the motor coupler. It is important
to note that there are two set screws holding the cable
in position.
