whenever possible. If stored in a hot garage or car the battery can be damaged or even catch fire! Do not over-discharge the Li-ion battery. Discharging the Li-ion battery too low can cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced power, flight duration or failure of the battery entirely. Li-ion cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load. The control unit has low voltage cutoff (LVC) protection. When the battery voltage drops below a set point the throttle is gradually reduced.

Preparing your Boat Slide your fully charged drive battery into the hull and attach to the hook-and-loop fastner in the hull. With your transmitter turned on, plug the drive battery into the speed control. Latched Place the top hatch in position and rotate the latch counterclockwise 90° to secure. Important Do not arm the boat motor until you have placed the boat into the water. Once in the water, arm the motor by pulling the throttle trigger to the rear and back to neutral.
How to Operate your Boat Place your boat in the water. Pull the trigger toward you and back to neutral to arm the motor and then pull it towards you to make the boat go forward. The speed control is proportional, the farther you pull it the faster the boat will go. Release the trigger to stop. To initiate a right turn, rotate the steering wheel clockwise while holding the trigger to the speed setting you desire.
Maintenance and Inspection Check for excess water in the hull after every use. If you do find excess water in the hull, pay special attention to installing the top hatch, ensuring a tight seal. Always unplug the battery after each use and charge it outside of the hull. After use, store the boat in the shade or inside to prevent the sun fading the decoration. Never use chemicals to clean the boat as this may also damage the finish. The boat is designed for fresh water use ONLY.
