General Precautions
• Read the WET CONDITIONS MAINTENANCE procedures and
make sure that you have all the tools you will need to properly
maintain your boat.
• Not all batteries can be used in wet conditions. Consult the
battery manufacturer before use. Caution should be taken when
using Li-Po batteries in wet conditions.
• Most transmitters are not water-resistant. Consult your
transmitter’s manual or the manufacturer before operation.
• Never operate your transmitter or boat when lightning is present.
• Salt water is very conductive and highly corrosive. If you choose
to run your boat in salt water, immediately rinse the boat in fresh
water after each use. Operating your boat in salt water is at the
sole discretion of the modeler.
Wet Conditions Maintenance
• Drain any water that has collected in the hull by removing the
drain plug or canopy and tilting the boat in the appropriate
direction to drain the water.
CAUTION: Always keep hands, fingers, tools and any loose
or hanging objects away from rotating parts.
• Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts. If you have an
air compressor or a can of compressed air, blow out any water
that may be inside the recessed connector housings.
• Remove all moving parts. Dry and lubricate parts after every 30
minutes of operation or if the boat becomes submerged.
NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your boat.
• Use an air compressor or a can of compressed air to dry the
boat and help remove any water that may have gotten into small
crevices or corners.
• Spray the bearings, fasteners and other metal parts with a water-
displacing light oil or lubricant.
• Let the boat air dry before you store it. Water (and oil) may
continue to drip for a few hours.
