8. Preparations for Commissioning
The model boat „Triumph" is delivered almost ready for operation. Only a few steps, such as installation of
the receiver system and assembly of ballast keel, mast and sail, are required for commissioning.
Before completing the model or taking it into operation, read each section carefully. The construction stages
are almost always illustrated for better understanding.
Please note that the numbers in the text always refer to the components in the illustration to the right.
Only carry out the steps described in the different sections once you have completely understood the procedure
and know exactly what to observe.
a) Boat Rack Assembly
The scope of delivery includes a boat rack of plastic
parts that has to be assembled before first use.
Assemble the boat rack of the four bases, the two
transverse struts and the two side parts as shown in
figure 1.
b) Assembly of the Ballast Keel to the Bottom of the Boat
Figure 2a shows the keel (1) and the ballast (2) and a
washer plus M3 nut for attachment of the ballast keel
(3).
Push the ballast onto the keel and attach it to the keel
with a washer and M3 nut. The keel can be placed on
the ballast in one position only due to a tab.
