Horizon Harbor 30-Inch Tug Boat RTR Manual

Instruction Manual
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.
Maximum speeds are only achieved when the water
conditions are smooth and there is little wind. A sharp
turn, wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is
moving quickly. Always pilot your boat for the wind and
water conditions so that the boat does not turn over.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a
location to pilot your boat.
Avoid boating near:
• watercraft
• people (swimming areas, fishing areas)
• stationary objects
• waves, wakes
• rapidly moving water
• wildlife
• floating debris
• overhanging trees
• vegetation
Never operate your boat in less than 3 inches (7.6 cm)
of water.
CAUTION: Never operate your boat in extreme
temperatures or turbulent water.
CAUTION: Never attempt to retrieve a downed
boat by swimming to retrieve it.
Retrieval Tips
• Use a 3S battery to provide maximum power when
retrieving larger boats.
• Drive past the boat you want to retrieve and line up
the capture by driving back, providing a better line of
sight between the tug boat, the disabled boat, and
you.
• Use a slower speed to capture a disabled boat. This
prevents overturning the disabled boat when it is
sitting low in the water.
When You Are Finished
1. Power off the receiver/ESC.
2. Power off the transmitter.
3. Disconnect and remove the battery
from the boat.
Tip: Always remove the hatches before
storage or moisture may allow mold and
mildew to grow in the boat. If you wish
to display your boat, you can reinstall the
hatches once it is dry.
• Prolong motor life by preventing overheating
conditions. Undue motor wear results from frequent
turns, stops and starts, pushing objects, boating in
rough water or vegetation and boating continuously
at high speed.
• Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC
to prevent circuit damage, but cannot protect the
motor from pushing against heavy resistance.
• Lubrication is important to prevent motor damage. If
your motor gets wet, lubricate the busings supporting
the motor shaft with light duty machine oil. Failure to
do so can cause the motor shaft to seize against the
motor bushings.
CAUTION: Do not touch the motor until it has had
time to cool. It can become extremely hot when
in use.
