Before the rst run of the HyperSport 48, 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.
The shorter receiver antenna may be left
inside the radio box. Conrm that it does not
interfere with any linkages.
 1. With the radio system turned on
(transmitter and receiver) and with the
engine off, walk off 40 to 50 paces from
the HyperSport 48.
 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.
Radio Failsafe
The Spektrum DX3S radio system has a built-
in failsafe that returns the throttle to neutral
in the event of signal loss. See the radio's
instruction manual for instructions on how to
set the failsafe position.
Fill the tank with 2-cycle fuel and rmly
tighten the fuel cap.
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 lled with fuel. This is not necessary
if the engine has recently been run.
