EN Fuel Safety and Use Instructions • • • • • • • • Always observe all warnings, precautionary statements and instructions supplied by the fuel manufacturer/provider. Fuel is a fire accelerant. Never operate your vehicle near open flames. Never smoke while operating your vehicle or while handling fuel. Always only use a mixture of gasoline and two-cycle oil for fuel. Do not use glow (nitro) fuel. Always use caution when handling gasoline. Always run your model engine in a well-ventilated area.
EN Vehicle Starting and Running 1. Remove the canopy. 2. Power on your transmitter, then power on the receiver. 3. Press the priming bulb several times until it becomes filled with fuel. This is not necessary if the engine has been run recently. 4. With the boat on a stand and the propeller unobstructed, pull the starter cord in a quick continuous motion to start the engine. The engine should start within 6 pulls. 5. Replace the canopy before placing the boat in the water.
EN Boating Tips Avoid boating near other watercraft, stationary objects, waves, wakes and other rapidly moving water, wildlife, floating debris or overhanging trees. You should also be careful to avoid boating in areas where there are many people, such as swimming areas, park waterways or fishing areas. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to pilot your boat. When making turns, decrease the throttle to reduce the probability of flipping the boat over.
EN After Boating • Drain water from inside the hull using the drain plug • Wipe exhaust residue from the boat • Rinse the deck, hull, and metal hardware with fresh water, then dry them with a clean towel. After cleaning, coat metal hardware with a silicone spray lubricant to help prevent corrosion • Fully dry the inside and outside of the boat, including the water cooling system.
EN Engine Tuning Before making adjustments: • Ensure there are no leaks or obstructions in the fuel tank, fuel tubing or the carburetor. Any faults can affect engine operation and tuning. • The carburetor needle is very sensitive. Adjusting the needle even 1/16 of a turn is a significant change. Be careful when making adjustments. High-Speed Needle (on the left side). Close the high-speed needle by turning it clockwise until it stops, then turn it counterclockwise 1 1/2 turns out (open).
EN Spark Plug Test CAUTION: Before testing the spark plug, clean up spilled fuel and close fuel containers. Failure to do can result in injury, fire or damage. 0.6–0.7mm 0.24–0.27 in Remove the spark plug from the engine and attach the plug wire and boot to the spark plug. Place the threaded end of the spark plug against the muffler. Pull the starter cord in a quick continuous motion to turn over the engine and ensure there is a spark.

EN Maintenance 1. Inspect the engine and engine mounts for damage or wear. Replace, clean or repair as needed. 3. Inspect the tuned muffler for damage and leaks. Tighten the screws. 2. Inspect the condition of the spark plug and wire. Replace as needed. 4. Clean and check the carburetor for leakage and smooth operation. Clutch The centrifugal clutch automatically engages when the engine rpm is increased.
EN Prop Angle Adjustment Raising the prop strut increases speed, but also decreases steering response and increases cavitation. Lowering the prop strut increases steering response, but also increases steering sensitivity and decreases speed. 1. Remove 3 bolts and 3 nuts on the prop strut on the bottom of the boat. 2. Slide the strut up or down to change the angle of the propeller in relation to the hull. 3. Adjust as desired and tighten the nuts and bolts.
