Battery Pack Installation; Range Check - ProBoat Zelos Twin PRB08021 Owner's Manual

Battery Pack Installation

1. Loosen the 4 screws located at each corner of the
canopy.
2. Remove the canopy from the hull starting with the 2 rear
screws. Enure that the 4 screws have disengaged from
their bases before lifting the canopy carefully.
3. Install the batteries in the battery trays.
Tip: To prevent the batteries from sliding forward or back
in the tray, we recommend installing either the included
padding or hook and loop tape (DYNK0300) to secure the
batteries to the trays.
The included battery adapter allows you to operate your
boat with (2) 7.4V or (2) 11.1V batteries. You can remove
the adapter if you choose to run lower voltage to each ESC.
If you choose to run (2) 7.4V or (2) 11.1V LiPos for each
ESC, 4 batteries total, we recommend the DYNC0028 to
series your LiPos together before you can plug them in to
each ESC.
4. Connect the battery pack connector to each of the
adapter's EC5, or to each ESC EC5™ connector.

Range Check

IMPORTANT: Perform a range check at the beginning
of each boating session, after repair or after the
installation of new batteries.
Ensure the end of the receiver antenna is above the
boat's water line and all batteries are fully charged.
1. With the radio system powered on and connected,
walk away from your boat 90 feet (32m).
2. Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for
proper control movement of the rudder in response to
your transmitter input.
3. If everything appears to be operating correctly,
prepare to operate the boat in the water.
NOTICE: Do not operate the motor without water
cooling circulation or damage may result.

Positioning the Battery Packs
• Toward the Bow: In rough water or strong winds
conditions, place the battery packs at the front of the
battery trays to ensure the greatest stability.
• Centered: Smooth water and calm winds may allow you
to move the battery packs rear-ward in the hull to allow
the bow to ride higher and increase speed. Be aware
that positioning the batteries farther aft increases the
likelihood of the boat blowing over at speed or becoming
unstable.
• Toward the Stern: Positioning the batteries all the way
back in their trays may provide higher top speeds but can
cause instability. Experiment with this position only in
very calm conditions while closely monitoring the hull's
attitude as you increase speed.
