Section 5: Speed Control
Programming
The ESC in your ShockWave 26 RS is pre-programmed from
the factory. The following has been provided if you happen to
need to reset the programming of your ESC.
1. Turn on the transmitter's power switch.
Be sure the transmitter batteries are fully charged.
2. Place the boat in position to allow the propeller to
move freely or disconnect one of the motor wires
from the motor.
3. Turn on the receiver switch. Move the throttle trigger
(stick) to full throttle, then to full reverse. The ESC will
automatically memorize the initial movement of the
throttle channel each time the receiver switch is turned
on.
4. To reset the maximum throttle setting, simply turn the
ESC's power switch off then on and move the throttle
stick to full movements again.
5. When operation is complete, turn off the receiver,
then the transmitter.
Note: Do not turn off the transmitter first
or the receiver may pick up stray signals
and run out of control.
Note: If the speed control does not operate initially, it may be
necessary to actuate the esc on/off switch again. This is due to
the time necessary for the radio system to synchronize. See
the radio instruction manual for details.
Section 6: Testing Your
Boat in the Water
Make sure the radio is "ON" and the battery is plugged
into the speed controller. Test the radio system for proper
operation and then carefully place the boat in the water.
Pilot the boat at slow speeds, staying close to the shoreline
to ensure you have good control and that the boat is
functioning correctly. Be certain to avoid all objects
in the water at all times.
Once you feel comfortable with the control of your boat, it
is safe to go further away from the shoreline and at faster
speeds. When you notice the boat begin to lose speed, bring
the boat back to shore. It will be necessary to allow the
electronic components to cool down and to replace
or recharge the battery before heading out again.
Section 7: Handling
Adjustment
Operate your ShockWave 26 RS in low to medium wake
conditions to avoid having problems with the boat overturning.
If the conditions are questionable, adjust the prop strut down
a bit to reduce the likelihood of having the boat overturn.
You may also turn the dual rate dial down to reduce rudder
travel in rough water conditions.
Section 8: Maintenance
Before and at the end of each run, make sure all screws are
tight and the propeller is free from any entanglement.
