input. Once you have more experience you can venture a little farther away.
Remember the controls are proportional just like a real boat. Ease on and off the
throttle until you are comfortable.
Maintenance & Storage
When you have fi nished using your LiteHawk CHASE disconnect the 6 volt bat-
tery and switch off the Transmitter. Remove the battery from the boat and leave
the top hatch off to allow moisture to evaporate. Leave the top hatch off until
you are sure the boat is dry and then you can re-install the top hatch and store
it. It is best to remove the battery from the boat and radio. Store the boat in a
nice, dry place on the provided boat stand. Keep away from heat sources (Open
fl ames, radiators, direct sunlight)
Your boat is virtually maintenance free, but one thing is vital to the life of the
drivetrain. Lubricating the fl ex shaft keeps your boat running smooth and also
acts as a water seal. This keeps water from entering your boat. Lubricate the
fl ex shaft/propeller shaft after every 2-3 times
you operate your boat. The CHASE has a Silicone
tube to couple the fl ex shaft to the motor. You
may notice that after some time the Silicone
tube loses its tight seal on the motor and fl ex
shaft. There is an extra one included in the box.

parts visit www.litehawk.ca.
- Use one hand to tightly squeeze the motor side
of the Silicone tube. Then with the other hand
grab the propeller and pull back to remove the
shaft 3/4's of the way out of the boat- Lubricate
the shaft with a axle or bearing grease.
- Reinstall the shaft in reverse order. Be sure
that you get a good connection between the
silicone tube and the fl ex shaft.
Types of grease: Axle or bearing grease.
Grease can be purchased at any auto parts supply retailer.
