Binding the Receiver and Transmitter:
If for some reason your boat is not connected with your Transmitter make sure
you are turning the Transmitter (Pistol Grip radio) on fi rst and then plug the
battery into the boat. If this doesn't solve the issue you will need to bind the
Transmitter to the boat's receiver.
- Switch on the Transmitter, making sure the indicator light is red.
- Plug in the battery into the boat
- Press down the BIND button on the boat's receiver.
- The receiver's green light will turn on to indicate that the binding has been
successful.
- The boat should now accept inputs from the transmitter.
If you were unsuccessful in binding the boat to the Transmitter unplug the bat-
tery in the boat and turn off the radio. Then repeat the binding process.
Water-cooled and water-proof electronics:
All LiteHawk Marine items are water-cooled! Your LiteHawk CHASE picks
up water from the base of the hull, as the boat is moving through the water. The
water is forced through the the water-cooled motor mount. This helps to keep
your motor cool. For added protection the Receiver and Electronic Speed Control
(ESC) have been waterproofed. All this protection helps to avoid the classic prob-
lem that all R/C power boats have - how to keep everything cool.
- Before using your new boat carefully check the silicone cooling tubes are con-
nected securely and not blocked. Ensure that the water inlet at the base of the
hull is not obstructed. A good way to check for blockages is to use your mouth to
blow air into the outlet tube and make sure you have air exiting the inlet at the
base of the hull.
- If you are running the boat in salt water, than you should blow out the cooling
system as mentioned above after use. If possible run in fresh water for a minute
or so to fl ush the lines.
LiteHawk CHASE - On The Water
When using your CHASE in a pool, make sure the pool is clear. NEVER DRIVE
YOUR BOAT WITH PEOPLE IN THE WATER. Remember the CHASE is fast. Apply
the throttle slowly to avoid crashing into the sides of the pool. Crashing into the
sides of the pool at high speed may damage your pool and boat.
When using your boat in lakes or larger bodies of water, check the area for
rocks, logs, etc.. that could damage the boat while driving. Do not run the boat in
water with weeds growing to the surface, as they will get caught in the propeller
and stress the motor and electronics. Check water currents before putting the
boat in the water. Strong currents are not recommended. Make sure the water is
at least 8 inches deep.
Make sure your hands are clear of the propeller and rudder when you are plac-
ing the boat in and out of the water. For your fi rst few runs try to keep the boat
within 5-15ft of you so you can see how the boat reacts to steering and throttle
