INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
WARNING! Make sure the Power Switch of the R/C Electric Racing Boat is in its “OFF” position and it is unplugged from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
1.BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electri- cal wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.
2.AFTER EACH USE, inspect the Racing Boat’s transmission shaft and bearing for water. Water may accumulate after each use, resulting in rust or blocked trans- mission shaft. Dry the transmission shaft by taking the propeller down, unscrew- ing and removing the shaft struts and drying the shaft and strut bearings. Adding lubricant to the shaft and bearings will also help prevent rust. Once done, reinstall all pieces.
Changing Boat Frequency
a. Turn off the boat and the remote control.
b. Open the tabs of the boat cover and unscrew the electric speed controller hous- ing.
c. Lightly hold down the circuit board and replace the crystal.
d. Screw down the electric speed controller housing and lock the top cover of the boat with the tabs.
e. Pull out and replace the crystal on the controller to match the crystal in the boat. The controller will only control the boat if it has the same frequency.
