Horizon Harbor 30-Inch Tug Boat RTR Manual

Instruction Manual
Choose a charger designed to charge the recommended
Spektrum 3S 11.1V Smart 30C LiPo battery with IC3™
connector (SPMX50003S30H3).
We recommend the Spektrum S2100 AC Charger or the
Spektrum Smart S150 AC/DC Charger (SPMXC1070),
with the recommended adapter (SPMXCA507).
Refer to your charger manual for charging instructions
and safety information.
NOTICE: Never charge a battery in the boat or damage
may result.
IMPORTANT: The receiver/ESC must be in LiPo mode
to safely operate the boat under LiPo power. Please
refer to the receiver/ESC manual for more information.
Discharging a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell may
damage your battery. The included receiver/ESC protects
the boat battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage
Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too
much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor.
Power to the motor decreases, showing some power is
reserved for the boat to return safely to shore.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the boat
after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po
battery to about half capacity before storage. During
storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-
discharge during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated operation to LVC will damage the
battery.
Tip: Monitor your boat battery’s voltage before and
after boating by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker
(XBC100 Smart Checker [SPMXBC100], sold
separately).
1. Apply the included hook and loop tape to the battery.
Do not cover the battery warning label.
Tip: Clean the battery pack with motor spray or rubbing
alcohol and a clean cloth before installing hook and loop
tape so adhesive can stick better.
2. Remove the main cabin from the boat. If you are
using the optional water canon pump, take care not to
pull the water pump lines.
3. Install the battery in the center of the hull to distribute
the weight evenly from port to starboard.
4. Center the battery over the hook and loop tape in the
hull, then press the battery into the tape to secure it.
5. Connect the battery EC5/IC5 connectors to the
receiver/ESC.
6. Follow the Getting Started instructions to power on
your boat. Install all boat hatches before operating it
in water.
Tip: If desired, apply waterproof tape over the hatch edge
to help keep water out of the hull.
IMPORTANT: Always remove the battery from the boat
for transport and storage.
