of the model's driving speed. The farther you push the lever to the handle, the faster must the ship's propeller turn and
the faster will the ship move forward.
If the motors only start up when the throttle lever is pushed forward, you need to activate the reverse function at the
transmitter for the control function "driving forward". For this, observe the operating instructions for the remote control
system.
The speed controller can be programmed for forward and reverse driving. This programming is not recom-
mended for the "Sword" model (it may cause the stern of the boat to submerge, which will cause water to
enter the model).

the range of your remote control with a helper, by having the helper hold the operational model ship and you moving
away from the model. Control must work interference-free at least at a distance of 50 metres.
e) The rst trip
The control electronics are programmed ex works for driving the model forward. When manoeuvring, ob-
serve that you do not have a reverse gear as in a car model, for example.
Avoid hectic steering movements. Otherwise, the model may capsize and can no longer be controlled. If the model
cannot be recovered in time, ingressing water may also cause the model to sink.
Operation is only permissible with the hull deck applied. For this, the hull deck must be sealed at the body with a
few strips of transparent tape before each run. Otherwise, the hull deck may be lost or splash water and water from
capsizing may enter the boat and destroy the remote control and drive parts (or the boat may sink). Loss of guarantee/
warranty!
The model's speed controller has an undervoltage recognition for the drive battery integrated for safety-technical
reasons.Ifthebatteryswitchesofftopreventharmfuldeepdischargeofthedrivebattery,themodelwouldoat,be
no longer controllable, and may be lost. Also observe the notes in chapter 11.
Therefore, interrupt operation in time (but no later than after 5 to 6 minutes, depending on the operating style and
battery used), to reach the shore under the model's own power and to avoid deep discharge of the drive battery.
Trips under detriment conditions such as strong wind and strong waves are not permissible and may cause loss of
the model.
If you notice any unusual noise or sudden rotating or model speed loss during operation, terminate operation at once

which may impair or render the drive near ineffective. If operation is continued, this may destroy drive components
from overheating. Loss of guarantee/warranty!
Check the water cooling function before any voyage. For this, you may use a small Bowden pull to blow air onto
