Control Check; Testing Your Boat In The Water - ProBoat UL 19 Hydroplane Owner's Manual

Control Check

IMPORTANT: Perform a control check at the beginning of
each boating session, after repair, or after installation of
new batteries.
Ensure the receiver antenna is extended properly and all
batteries are fully charged.
1. Power ON the transmitter and the boat. Do not install
the boat canopy.
2. Place the boat securely on the boat stand.
NOTICE: Do not operate the engine without water cooling
circulation or damage may result.
3. Check steering and throttle on the transmitter.

Testing Your Boat in the Water

Tip: Before placing your boat in the water, secure the canopy
on the hull. Apply clear tape (DYNM0102) around the canopy
seam, if desired.
1. Carefully place the boat in the water.
2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline.
Avoid objects in the water at all times. When the boat
is moving forward, ensure water fl ows out of the cool-
ant outlet. Remove any blockage from the rudder inlet
and coolant system or the motor and ESC (electronic
speed control) may overheat.
3. Once you are comfortable operating the boat at slow
speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther from the
shore.
4. If the boat does not go straight, adjust the steering
trim dial on the transmitter.
5. Tip: If you are using excessive steering trim on your
transmitter to make the boat drive straight, return the
trim to neutral and mechanically center the rudder. To
do this, use a 1.5mm hex driver to loosen the set screw
holding the push rod to the servo. Adjust the linkage in
or out of the brass barrel until the rudder is centered.
Tighten the set screw using a 1.5mm hex driver.

6. Bring the boat back to shore when you notice the boat
starting to lose speed.
7 . Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery packs.
8. Allow the motor, ESC and battery packs to cool before
charging the batteries or operating the boat again.
NOTICE: Always power OFF the receiver before powering
OFF the transmitter. If the transmitter is powered OFF
before the receiver, the receiver will enter failsafe mode.
