Never operate the model while the water cooling is clogged or does not work due to bent tubes. Observe the rudder

system to work, it must be free of contamination at all times. The drive components may otherwise overheat and be
damaged. Loss of guarantee/warranty!
Carefully and horizontally put the model on the water. Observe that the rudder system as well as the ship's propeller
has no ground contact and can turn freely.
Carefully pull the throttle lever towards the handle. The model starts to drive forward. Turning the remote control steer-
ing wheel to the left or right will cause your model to turn in the respective direction.
Driving time is approx. 5 to 8 minutes, depending on driving style and battery capacity. Terminate the trip in time and
return to the shore. Open the hull deck, unplug the drive battery, switch off the transmitter and check if any water has
entered the model. Ingressing water must be removed at once. Observe that the water does not enter the remote
control or drive parts during emptying.
Low water volumes entering (max. approx. 50 ml per trip) is normal; it must be emptied after every opera-
tion. After a trip, the motor and speed control must cool off to ambience temperature. Therefore, make a
break of approx. 5 to 10 minutes before the next trip. The hull deck should remain disassembled for better
cooling.
Practical advice:

the shaft must be oiled or also removed and re-lubricated. Observe the notes in chapter "Maintenance and
Care" for this.
