Contents • Assembled Blackjack 26 SS Brushless EP RTR • Pro Boat radio transmitter • Boat stand Section 1: Assembling the Boat Stand Attach the side stand pieces by interlocking them into the end pieces as shown.
EN Section 2: Installing the Transmitter Batteries Install 4 AA alkaline batteries into the transmitter, following the instructions provided for your radio system. Section 3: Installing the 7.2V Ni-MH Battery Packs If the batteries are fully charged and the esc stops operation early, the most likely cause is batteries with high internal resistance. Use only high performance batteries. Carefully remove the hatch from the hull.
EN Section 4: Checking the Radio System Ensure the antenna tube is properly placed through the hull. It may be necessary to slightly pull the antenna tube out to make certain the radio range is sufficient. Left Turn The ESC will beep until you give full throttle input. The auto sensing circuitry will select full throttle position when you hold full throttle during initial setup. Release the throttle trigger.
EN Section 5: Adjusting the Transmitter It may be necessary to adjust the throttle trim knob to stop the propeller from turning while the throttle trigger is in the neutral position. Adjust the rudder trim knob so that the rudder is centered prior to operation. You may adjust this control to make the boat run straight during operation.
EN Section 7: Testing Your Boat in the Water Test the radio system for proper operation and then carefully place the boat in the water. Pilot the boat at slow speeds, staying close to the shoreline to ensure you have good control and that the boat is functioning correctly. Be certain to avoid all objects in the water at all times. Once you feel comfortable with the control of your boat, it is safe to go further away from the shoreline and at faster speeds.
EN Section 10: Lubricating the Drive Shaft Lubricating the flexshaft is vital to the life of the drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, keeping water from entering the hull through the stuffing box. 3. Remove the drive shaft by sliding it out of the stuffing box. Lubricate the flexshaft, propeller shaft and all moving parts after every 2–3 hours of operation. 1. Use two 10mm wrenches to loosen the collet nut.
