EN 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.
EN Transmitter Controls TH TRIM ST TRIM AVC / ST RATE Adjusts the neutral point of the electronic speed control. Adjust to make the vehicle drive straight with no input at the steering wheel. Adjusts the amount the front wheels move when the steering wheel is turned left or right. STEERING WHEEL REVERSE SWITCH Allows you to change the direction of steering (ST. REV) and throttle (TH. REV) controls (default settings are “N” for steering and “R” for throttle).
EN Battery Pack Installation 1. Loosen the 4 screws located at each corner of the canopy. 2. Remove the canopy from the hull starting with the 2 rear screws. Enure that the 4 screws have disengaged from their bases before lifting the canopy carefully. 3. Install the batteries in the battery trays. Tip: To prevent the batteries from sliding forward or back in the tray, we recommend installing either the included padding or hook and loop tape (DYNK0300) to secure the batteries to the trays.
EN Getting Started 1. Remove the canopy from the hull. 2. Install the receiver antenna in the antenna tube. 3. Install the fully charged batteries in the compartment and secure them with the hook and loop straps. 4. Power on the transmitter. Ensure the throttle is not reversed and the throttle trim is neutral. 5. Connect the battery to the ESC. 6. Keep the throttle at neutral and power on both ESCs simultaneously by pushing and holding the power switch for 2 seconds.
EN CAUTION: Never attempt to retrieve a downed boat by swimming. If you need to retrieve your boat from the water, use fishing equipment or another boat. NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy water, the propeller may exit and re-enter the water repeatedly and very quickly, subjecting the propeller and drive shaft to some stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller and drive shaft.
EN Maintenance Drivetrain Lubrication Always replace the drivetrain parts when they are damaged or show visible wear or injury and damage may result. Lubricating the drive shaft is vital to the life of the drivetrain. The lubricant also acts as a water seal, keeping water from entering the hull through the stuffing tube. Lubricate the drive shaft and all moving parts after every 20 minutes of operation. Remove one flex shaft at a time, or mark the shafts as right or left.
EN General Information Binding The included transmitter and receiver are bound at the factory. To rebind: 1. Power off the transmitter and ESC. 2. Insert the bind plug into the BIND port on the receiver. 3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC, then power on the ESC. The LED in the receiver flashes continuously, indicating that the receiver is in bind mode. 4. With the throttle in neutral, power on the transmitter by pressing the bind button.
EN ESC Programming Procedure Programming can be accomplished using the Dynamite® LED Program Card (DYNS3005, sold separately) or via the transmitter. Please refer to your DYNM3875 manual for transmitter programming instructions.
