• Before any commissioning, check for correct and tight fit of the ship's propellers and for any damage
to them.
• When the ship propellers are running, make sure that neither objects nor body parts are in their rotating
and suction area.
d) During Operation
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment is solely
down to you being responsible when dealing with the model.
• Improper operation may cause serious injury and property damage! Therefore, make sure that there is a
sufficient safety distance to any persons, animals or objects in operation.
• Select suitable body of water to operate your model. In doubt, ask the person responsible for the body
of water whether operation of your model is permitted there.
• The selected body of water must be free of climbers (e.g. seaweed) for operation of your model. There
also must be no objects (e.g. branches) floating in the water.
• Observe currents and other detriment conditions in the selected body of water that may make operation
of the model difficult or even impossible. Loss of the model is possible!
• Drive your model only if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The influence of tiredness, alcohol or
medication can cause incorrect responses.
• Never drive right towards any swimming persons or animals.
• Never point the aerial of the transmitter directly onto the model. This significantly impairs signal trans-
mission to the model.
• Motor, drive controller and drive battery may heat up during operation of the model. For this reason, wait
for 5 to 10 minutes before recharging or replacing the drive battery. The drive motors must have cooled
down to ambient temperature.
• Never switch off the remote control (transmitter) while the model is in use. After a voyage, always dis-
connect the drive battery first or switch off the model. It is only after this that the remote control may be
turned off.
• In case of a defect or a malfunction, remove the problem before using the model again.
• Never expose your model or the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for an extended
period of time.
