CHAPTER 9 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Water squirter parts and where to find them:
Refill bottle - Comes with robot.
Water squirter nozzle - On the right arm.
Water squirter switch – On the top of the frame on new robots.
In-line fuse (5 Amp-AGC type) Located on a red wire between the switch and the main circuit
board.
Overflow nozzle - Located right beside the water squirter switch on the bottom of the robot.
Water line and connector - Located on the top of the frame. Access it by removing the cap of
the robot.
Water pump and reservoir -Located on the back of the frame. The body has to be removed to
access them.
How to fill your water squirter system:
1. Unplug the water line coming from the water squirter nozzle and plug in the filler bottle in
its place.
2. Put the main on-off-recharge switch in the recharge position. This is the fill position.
3. Hold the water squirter switch in the momentary position until water comes out the
overflow nozzle (You may stop sooner if you want). Be sure that the water is filling in
the reservoir. There will typically be a change in the motor sound when it is full.
4. Plug the water line back in and switch the water squirter switch to the "on" position.
How to operate your water squirter system:
1. The water squirter system must have water first. If not, fill your water squirter system.
Operating the water pump without water running through it for more than 10 seconds is
not good for the pump.
2. The water squirter switch on the robot, must be in the "on" position.
3. To squirt water move the squirter switch on the radio control transmitter to the on
position. This is a momentary spring loaded switch so that you can get short bursts of
squirting.
!
CAUTION
1. The water squirter system should not be operated without water in it.
2. ALWAYS make sure the water line is plugged in when using the water squirter or water
may damage the electronics.
