Testing Your Boat In The Water; Boating Tips; When You Are Finished - ProBoat AERO TROOPER Instruction Manual

Testing Your Boat in the Water

1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. If the boat does not go straight, adjust the steering trim
dial on the transmitter.
3. Return the boat to shore when it begins to slow or when
LVC activates.
4. Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery.
5. Turn off the transmitter.
NOTICE: Always power OFF the receiver before powering
OFF the transmitter. If the transmitter is powered OFF
before the boat, the receiver will enter failsafe mode.
WARNING: Do not to increase steering throw beyond
the factory setting or servo failure may occur.

Boating Tips

The boat can be used on water, grass, snow, and ice.
NOTICE: We do not recommend using the boat on asphalt,
cement, dirt roads, or gravel surfaces. Damage to the hull
can occur.
We recommend running the boat in 0–7 MPH winds and
calm water conditions.
Maximum speeds are only achieved when water conditions
are smooth and wind is minimal. A sharp turn in wind (stronger
than 8–10 MPH) or waves can capsize the boat when it is
moving at high speeds. A capsized boat can float away on
windy days. Always pilot your boat in favorable wind and water
conditions so that the boat does not capsize.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a
location to pilot your boat.
When boating in water, avoid boating near:
• watercraft
• people (swimming areas, fishing areas)
• stationary objects
• waves, wakes
• rapidly moving water
• wildlife
• floating debris
• overhanging trees
• vegetation

When You Are Finished

1. Power off the receiver by pressing the power
button for 2 seconds.
2. Power off the transmitter.
3. Disconnect and remove the battery from the boat.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Practice driving the boat at low throttle by switching the
transmitter preset throttle limiter to the medium setting.
Advance the throttle setting as you become proficient with
driving.
Unlike rudder-steerable boats, air boats require power to turn.
When turning, decrease the throttle to reduce the probability
of flipping the boat. The boat will not steer when coasting off
power.
When using 4S power, do not attempt to skim sideways
while turning or the boat will capsize.
Turning at speeds above 10 mph will cause the boat abruptly
stop and possibly capsize. Practice turning the boat in no less
than a 15 foot radius.
If you need to retrieve your boat from the water, use fishing
equipment or another boat.
CAUTION: Never operate the boat in extreme
temperatures, windy conditions or turbulent water.
CAUTION: Never attempt to retrieve a downed boat
by swimming to retrieve it.
WARNING: Keep hands, hair and loose or dangling
items away from the fan cage at all times. Serious
injury can occur.
