AquaCraft Cajun Commander Instruction Manual page 4

When your battery starts to get low, the boat's power system
will start to stutter the motor in long even bursts. This is
intentional and used as a warning that you need to complete
your run. Bring the boat in as soon as you can.
Unplug the battery after every use and never allow the
battery to remain plugged into the boat for extended
periods of time.
Remove the drain plug from the back of the boat and allow
any water that might have entered to escape, making sure to
re-install the plug before you operate the boat again.
OPERATION NOTES
SAFETY FIRST, NEVER SWIM FOR A STALLED BOAT!
Even if you are a good swimmer please do not swim for a
stalled boat. Your boat has fl otation in it and WILL NOT SINK.
Please use other means to retrieve your boat or wait for it to
blow to shore.
Operation of your boat on a hard surface like concrete, black
top and ice, can permanently damage the bottom of the boat.
Never operate your boat on any hard surfaces.
High winds can overpower your Cajun Commander and might
cause you to lose control of the boat or tip the boat over. Keep
this in mind as you operate your model.
If the propeller is broken or chipped in any way do not use it.
Replace it before you operate the boat again.
Although this boat has a smooth bottom and is capable of
skimming over semi submerged obstacles, it is good to note
that the boat could become stuck on that debris so be careful
as you run your boat.
After you are done running your boat for the day, unplug the
battery and remove it from the boat. Leave the cover off the
radio compartment overnight to allow any moisture to evaporate.
Operating your boat at low or partial throttle settings for
extended periods of time can overheat and damage the
motor controller.
If your Cajun Commander should happen to stall, water
currents will slowly carry it to shore. The bad news is that the
boat could be carried to the opposite shore. When surveying
areas to run your model, keep variables in mind such as
wind direction, size of the lake, etc. It is not advisable to
run R/C boats on any free-fl owing bodies of water such as
creeks or rivers.
Make sure to follow your battery care information closely for
best battery life and performance.
TROUBLESHOOTING
When you plug the battery into the boat the boat
does not chime.

and the throttle trim knob centered. (page 2 of your
