Maintenance and Inspection1. Check for excess water in the hull after every use. If you do find excess water in the hull, pay

extra special attention to installing the top hatch, ensuring the silicon seal is correctly in place.2. Always remove the Li-Ion battery from the boat after use.3. After use, store the boat in the shade or inside to prevent the sun fading the paint.4. Never use chemicals to clean the boat as this may also damage the paint.5. The boat is designed for fresh water use only. If the boat comes into contact with brackish or

salty water, remove battery and wash the boat throughly with fresh water as soon as possible to remove all the salty water.

6. After use, clean the boat using fresh water. Make sure you dry the boat inside and out using a dry cloth or paper towel. This will keep the hull and hatch of the boat looking clean and new.

7. When you are finished using the boat, make sure you have removed the batteries from the boat and the transmitter. This will prevent damage in the event of a battery leak.

If the boat turns slightly to the left when it should be going straight ahead, slowly rotate the fine adjustment knob on the tranmitter clockwise until it travels in a straight line.

The torque effect produced will right the boat and allow you keep using the vehicle without having to manually retreive it.

If the boat turns slightly to the right when it should be going straight ahead, slowly rotate the fine adjustment knob on the tranmitter counter-clockwise until it travels in a straight line.

If the boat flips over and remains upside down, push the throttle trigger on the transmitter away from you and in quick succession pull the throttle trigger towards you.
