PRB08033 Pro Boat Valvryn F1 RTR Manual

Valvryn™ 25
When running your boat for the first time, we recommend
calm wind and water conditions so that you can learn how
the boat responds to your control.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location
to pilot your boat.
1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline. Avoid
objects in the water at all times. When the boat is moving
forward, ensure water flows out of the coolant outlet.
3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow
speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the
shore at higher speeds.
4. Bring the boat back to shore when power is limited by
the Low Voltage Cutoff. After LVC has kicked in, the ESC
will allow you throttle the boat at a fraction of normal
operation allowing enough power to return to shore.
CAUTION: Never operate your boat in less than 12
inches (30.5 cm) of water.
CAUTION: Never attempt to retrieve a downed boat
by swimming. If you need to retrieve your boat from
the water, use fishing equipment or another boat.
Avoid boating near:
• watercraft
• people (swimming areas, fishing areas)
• stationary objects
• rapidly moving water
• wildlife
• floating debris
• overhanging trees
• vegetation
NOTICE: If the propeller and rudder are blocked with
debris or vegetation, remove the boat from the water
and clear any debris before continuing operation.
Remove any blockage from the coolant system or
the motor and ESC (electronic speed control) may
overheat.
NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy water,
the propeller may exit and re-enter the water quickly
and repeatedly, subjecting the propeller and drive shaft
to stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller
and drive shaft.
Boating Tips
Self-Righting
The self-righting feature of your boat uses a water ballast
system. The ballast works as a controlled breach in the
hull. As the ballast fills with water, the weight of the water
forces the boat to sink, while the air trapped inside the hull
causes enough buoyancy to right the boat.
The boat will self-right automatically, using water ballast.
Once the boat is upright, it will lean to one side. Apply full
throttle. The trapped water will be forced out of the ballast
tanks by the boat’s forward momentum.
IMPORTANT: Applying throttle during the self-righting
process may prevent the boat from turning over.
When You Are Finished
1. Power off the receiver by pressing the power button
for 2 seconds.
2. Power off the transmitter.
3. Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat.
Tip: Always remove the canopy before storage or
moisture may allow mold and mildew to grow in the boat.
Drain water from inside the hull using the drain plug.
• Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including
the water cooling lines and jacket around the motor
• Remove the hatch before storing your boat
• Repair any damage or wear to the boat
• Lubricate the drive shaft using Dynamite Marine
Grease (DYNE4200)
• Make note of lessons learned from trimming, including
water and wind conditions
Tip: The hook and loop strips in the boat retain water. Dry them with a cloth.
NOTICE: When you are finished boating, never leave the boat in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car.
Doing so can damage the boat.
