Dear customer,
These safety instructions are designed to ensure
the safe operation of the product and your personal
safety. Read this section very carefully before using
the product!
a) General information
Caution, safety hazard!
This model has the potential to cause damage to
property and/or individuals. Ensure that you are
sufficiently insured, e.g. by taking out private liability
insurance. If you already have a policy, check with
your insurance company that use of this model is
covered by the policy.
• Please note: Some EU countries prohibit the use
of model boats in certain bodies of water.
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification
of the product is prohibited for safety and approval
reasons.
• This product is not a toy and is not suitable for
children under 14 years of age.
• The remote control and drive components must
not become damp or wet.
• The model boat is only suitable for use in fresh
water.
• If you do not have sufficient knowledge of how to
operate remote-controlled model boats, contact an
experienced model enthusiast or a model retailer.
• Do not leave packaging material unattended, as
it may become dangerous playing material for
children.
b) Before operation
• Ensure that there are no other models operating
at the same frequency (2.4 GHz) within range of
the remote control. Always check whether there
are any other 2.4 GHz remote controls that may
interfere with the model.
• Conduct regular checks to verify that the model
and remote control are safe to use. Inspect the
parts for any visible signs of damage, such as
broken connectors or damaged cables. All moving
parts on the model should move freely, but there
must not be any slackness in the bearing.
• The drive battery that is required for operation
must be charged before use.
• Ensure that the batteries in the transmitter have
sufficient remaining capacity (use a battery tester).
If the batteries are empty, replace all of them at
the same time. Never replace individual batteries.
• Before each use, check the trim settings for
different control directions on the remote control,
and if necessary, adjust them.
also
• Before every use, check that the propeller is
correctly and securely seated and that it is intact.
• When switching on the remote control and putting
the model boat into operation, always follow the
procedure described below in a separate section.
This ensures that the transmitter and receiver are
connected properly and that your model responds
reliably to remote control commands from your
transmitter. Otherwise, the receiver may react
unpredictably and the propeller may accidentally
start up. There is a risk of accident and injuries!
• Keep objects and body parts away from the
propeller's spinning and intake area when it is
running.
c) During use
• Do not take any risks when using the product!
Always use the model responsibly, otherwise you
may endanger yourself and your surroundings.
• Improper use can cause serious injury and
damage to property! Always ensure that the
model boat is kept away from people, animals and
objects during use.
• Select a suitable body of water to use your model.
Make sure you ask the person or organisation
responsible for the body of water whether you are
permitted to use your model there.
• Ensure that there are no climbing plants (such as
seaweed) in the water. In addition, check that there
are no objects (e.g. branches) floating in the water.
• When afloat, pay attention to currents and other
adverse conditions that make it difficult or even
impossible to operate the model. The model can
even be destroyed! The model boat should only be
operated in still or very slow-flowing waters without
significant wave formation due to its small size and
relatively high potential speed.
• Only use the model when you are fully alert and
able to respond. Fatigue, alcohol and medication
can affect your ability to respond.
• Never drive the model boat directly at people or
animals that are swimming in the water.
• Should any malfunctions occur during operation,
which may result in the model boat drifting
uncontrollably and/or without propulsion in the
water or e.g. getting stuck in water plants, do not
put your life in danger while attempting to retrieve
it from the water.
• Do not take any risks when retrieving the model
boat. Watch out for currents and other boat traffic
in the body of water. If necessary, use an aid to
retrieve the model boat from the water (e.g.
rowing boat). Never attempt to retrieve the model
boat alone, always engage an assistant who can
observe what is happening around and call for help
in an emergency.
• Never point the transmitter antenna directly onto
the model. This makes the signal transmission
to the model a lot worse. You should hold the
transmitter so that the transmitter antenna points
upwards as much as possible.
• The motor, speed controller and drive battery
can become hot during model operation. For this
reason, wait 5 to 10 minutes before recharging
the drive battery or restarting the model with a
spare rechargeable battery. Let the drive motor
and speed controller cool down to the ambient
temperature.
• Always keep the remote control (transmitter)
turned on when the model is in use. Always
disconnect the drive battery from the model after
use. Only then may the transmitter be switched off.
• In the event of a defect or malfunction, be sure to
eliminate the cause of the fault before resuming
operation of the model.
• Do not expose the model or the remote control
to direct sunlight or excessive heat for prolonged
periods.
• If the running performance decreases, head for
the bank immediately. Otherwise there is a risk
that the boat with an empty drive battery will drift
uncontrollably on the water and get lost.
