0. ASSEMBLY
Follow these steps to assemble your Bottle Catamaran. Coloured numbers refer to the diagrams.
CROSSBEAM AND FLOAT S UP PO R TS
O
Identify the crossbeam and study it carefully. In the centre, on the top, is a hole into which the motor
fits. It has two cut-out slots in its edge. The front of the crossbar is the side with the smaller cut-out in
it. Identify and study the two float supports. The front of each float support is the end with the loop on.
Place a float support at one end of the crossbeam, and make sure the front of the crossbar faces the front
of the float support. Attach the pieces together with two screws, which should be placed in the centre two
holes of the four holes in the float support. (There are four screw holes on the each of the float supports.
You may screw the crossbeam to any two of them . After you have attached the bottles to the float
supports, place the catamaran on water and check if it is floating in balance. If the catamaran is tilted
to the front, it may overturn and submerge into the water when the propeller starts spinning in full speed.
You need to balance the catamaran by moving the crossbeam to screw holes at the rear before you start
using it.)
Q Attach the other float support to the other end of the crossbeam in the same way.
M OTOR AN D BATTERY
Q Carefully place the motor into the hole in the top of the crossbeam,
with the spindle resting in the small slot at the front, and connections
for the wires at the top.
Q Put the motor cover over the motor so that the wires go through the
slots in the rear of the cover. Secure the cover with two screws.
Q Turn the model over. Now fit the battery case. Feed the wires from
the battery case through the holes at the rear of the motor cover, and
push the battery case into place. The holes at each end of the case fit
over the pegs under the motor cover and crossbeam. Secure the battery
case with tw o screws. Do not put batteries in yet.
Q You need to connect the wires from the battery to the wires from the
motor. Push the bare end of a red wire from the motor and a bare end of
a red wire from the battery case into one of the terminal holes in the
motor case. Push in a terminal cap so that it touches both bare wires.
Repeat with the other two wires.
Q Clip the top cover over the rear of the motor cover. Secure it with a
screw.
