Assembling The Model - GRAUPNER ROMMEL Instructions D'utilisation

Assembling the model

•
Carefully unpack the model, the small parts and
the boatstand.
•
To remove the superstructure grasp the forward
area carefully by the bridge and the forward
funnel, and lift it up vertically. Now remove the aft
superstructure. You must always remove the
forward superstructure first, and replace it last,
otherwise the companionway could be torn off.
•
The outer motors should be wired in parallel, and
connected together
directions. Solder the motors to a G2 connector,
referring to the wiring diagram on page 15 (+ is
red, - is black). Check the direction of rotation of
the motors when the batteries are connected: all
the propellers must rotate in such a way that the
model would be propelled forward. NOTE: the
raised lug on the plastic housing of all G2
connectors should always be the positive terminal
(red wire). If you keep consistently to this
principle, your batteries and speed controllers will
be interchangeable, and the system will be
protected against accidental reversed polarity. For
soldering the connectors we recommend that you
follow one of the tips outlined below, which will
make the task easier. The procedure described
will also help to avoid damaging detail fittings on
the model with the hot soldering iron. TIP 1:
remove the motors: undo the grubscrews in the
propellers so that
withdrawn. Now undo the motor retaining screws
(don't remove them completely) and slide the
motors forward until the shaft couplings are
exposed. Undo the grubscrews in the couplings
which clamp the motor shafts, then remove the
motors from the
propellers can be re-installed simply by reversing
the whole procedure. TIP 2: if you have a friend
to help you, ask him or her to support the boat at
an angle so that you can hold the motor wires
outside the hull for soldering; any excess solder
will then fall away from the model. TIP 3: a "third hand" is a useful clamping tool which you can use to
hold the wires for soldering directly inside the model.
•
Check that the screws in the shaft couplings, the motor retaining bars and the propellers are really tight,
as they may have worked loose in transit. You can check this by pulling on the propellers; if you find you
can move the shafts to the rear, then one of the grubscrews is loose. Tighten the offending item
carefully, using TIP 1 as described above in order to gain access to them. IMPORTANT: if the
grubscrews are loose, apply a drop of thread-lock fluid to them, e.g. UHU schraubensicher (Order No.
952), as vibration could cause them to work loose again while the boat is running.
