Use only Evolution 2-Cycle Synthetic Oil and premium

gasoline mixed 32:1 to power the Blackjack 55. Fill the tank

completely and secure the fuel cap. Keep fuel in a moisture-

free environment, as stale fuel will cause the Zenoah

G26M engine to lose performance.

Before the first run of the Blackjack 55, you should check

the radio for proper operation and to ensure proper control

movement of the rudder and throttle. Also ensure that the

antenna on the boat is extended properly and that all batteries

are in working condition.

1. With the radio system turned on (transmitter and

receiver) (engine off), walk off 40 to 50 paces from the

Blackjack 55.

2. Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for

proper control movement of the rudder from your

transmitter input.

3. If everything appears to be operating correctly, start the

engine. Place the boat in the water and run it (at about

1⁄3 throttle) close to the shoreline. If the radio system is

operating properly, you can begin to run the boat faster

and further away from the shoreline.

Note: It is a good idea to range check

prior to operating your boat after any

repair, installation of new batteries, or at

the beginning of each boating session.

Note: The Zenoah G26M carburetor

is factory adjusted to deliver optimum

performance. See the Zenoah Engine

manual for fine-tuning adjustments and

other helpful information to make your RC

boating experience trouble-free.

Priming the Engine

Press the priming bulb several times until it becomes filled with

fuel. This is not necessary if the engine has recently been run.
