Range Test; The First Trip - Reely Hydro Force Notice D'emploi

d) Range Test
Before first use, the drive battery and any rechargeable batteries used in the transmitter have to be charged as
instructed by the manufacturer.
Perform a range test of the remote control system first. Switch on the remote control and then the receiver. Now check
the range of your remote control with a helper, by having the helper hold the operational model ship and you moving
away from the model. Control must work interference-free at least at a distance of 50 metres.
e) The First Trip
The control electronics are programmed ex works for driving the model forward. When manoeuvring, obser-
ve that you do not have a reverse gear as in a car model, for example.
Avoid hectic steering movements. Otherwise, the model may capsize and can no longer be controlled. If the model
cannot be recovered in time, ingressing water may also cause the model to sink.
Operation is only permissible with the hull deck applied. For this, the hull deck must be sealed at the body with a few
strips of transparent tape before each run. Otherwise, splash water and water from capsizing may enter the boat and
destroy the remote control and drive parts (or the boat sinks) in spite of the seal already applied. Loss of guarantee/
warranty!
The model's speed controller has an undervoltage recognition for the drive battery integrated for safety-technical
reasons. If the battery switches off to prevent harmful deep discharge of the drive battery, the model would float, be
no longer controllable, and may be lost.
Therefore, interrupt operation in time (but no later than after 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the operating style and
battery used), to reach the shore under the model's own power and to avoid deep discharge of the drive battery.
Trips under detriment conditions such as strong wind and strong waves are not permissible and may cause loss of
the model.
If you notice any unusual noise or sudden rotating or model speed loss during operation, terminate operation at once
and find the reason. In most cases, seaweed or something similar will have become tangled in the ship's propeller,
which may impair or render the drive near ineffective. If operation is continued, this may destroy drive components.

Check the water cooling function before any voyage. For this, you may use a small hose to blow air into the water
cooling inlet (see figure 2, item 4). The air (or water in driving operation) must come out of the outlet installed at the
side in the boat's body again.
Never drive with a water cooling that is clogged or non-functional because of bent hoses.
Also observe the rudder slots (figure 3, item 5). These slots are the water inlet of the water cooling. For the water
cooling system to work, it must be free of contamination at all times. The drive components may otherwise overheat
and be damaged. Loss of guarantee/warranty!
Carefully and horizontally put the model on the water. Observe that the rudder system as well as the ship's propeller
has no ground contact and can turn freely.
Carefully pull the throttle lever towards the handle. The model starts to drive forward. Turning the remote control
steering wheel to the left or right will cause your model to turn in the respective direction.
