OWNER'S MANUAL
Important! Please read your Owner's Manual all the way through before operating your hovercraft. Contains important information—keep for future
reference.

Safety First

• Adult supervision is recommended.
• Adult supervision strongly recommended, and use extra caution, when playing near water or ice. Do not go onto ice on a lake or other body of
water that might be dangerous if it breaks.
• Drive your hovercraft in a safe area away from people, pets, cars, etc. Not in streets, not in darkness!
• Don't touch or try to pick up hovercraft when it is in motion. Wait until it stops completely.
• Keep hair, fingers, face and loose clothing away from top and rear propellers while the hovercraft is switched on or while the transmitter is
operating.
• Never block rotation of top lift fan or stick any object through top, bottom or rear grilles.
• Do not drive hovercraft into walls or other hard objects.
• Be a responsible Mini Jet Hovercraft™ operator!

How it Works

Lift fan/air compressor blows downward, inflating air bag skirt, which seals with the ground and creates a cushion of air under the hovercraft.
Propellers at rear of hovercraft provide thrust for movement along the ground.

• Rides on cushion of air created by lift fan blowing downward and into air bag
"skirt".
• Needs flat, smooth, clean surface so skirt can "seal" with ground for best results.
• Not for use on rough or broken pavement/ground, carpet, rocks, pebbles, grass,
decking, hills, inclines or any surface that "lets the air out" or damages skirt.
• Pilot must keep craft within radio and battery life range on water to ensure retrieval.
• Not a boat; needs lift fan on with full power and air bag skirt inflated to float properly.
• Battery life 10-15 minutes between charges, depending on battery.
• Skirt is durable but can puncture on sharp rocks, sticks.
