c) Inspecting the Control Functions
After switching on the transmitter and connecting the rechargeable battery to the model's speed controller,
your model is ready for operation. The motor should not start up or hum in this moment.
• Check the outboard motor linkage. Operate the steering wheel for steering (figure 7, item 1). Steering to the left must
cause the outboard motor (viewed from behind in driving direction) to swivel to the left as well.
If this is not the case, you need to select the steering servo reverse function at the transmitter (see operating
instructions of the remote control).
• If the steering wheel for the steering function at the transmitter as well as the trimming for it are in the neutral position,
the outboard motor must be placed centrally.
Otherwise, the trimming at the transmitter must be adjusted accordingly (see operating instructions of the remote
control). Alternatively, or if transmitter trimming is no longer sufficient, you need to readjust the linkage with the
control wheel in the neutral position and neutral trimming. Loosen the screws at the steering rods (figure 4) and
adjust the linkage. Then attach the screws to the steering rods again.
Screw connections between metal parts must be secured against unintended loosening either with so-
called stop nuts or with a drop of threadlocker varnish.
• Check the function „driving forwards".
The throttle lever of the transmitter (figure 7, item 2) permits smooth adjustment of the model's driving speed.
The farther you push the lever to the handle, the faster must the ship's propeller must turn and the faster will the ship
move forward.
If the motors only start up when the throttle lever is pushed forwards, you need to activate the reverse function at the
transmitter for the control function „driving forwards". For this, observe the operating instructions for the remote
control system.
