2. trIMMINg tHe coNtroL:
The correct trimming is a basic prerequisite for a correct driving action. Alignment is simple but needs some patience and instinct. Please follow the instructions precisely:
carefully pull the speed controller and start the boat.
If the boat independently
drives to the right...
If the boat independently drives quickly or slowly to the right, turn the left/right
trimming in an anticlockwise direction until the boat drives straight forwards.

The connection of your boat to your remote control is already established at the factory. Should it become necessary to re-establish connection, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the boat and the remote control.
2. Switch on the remote control.
3. Switch on your boat and press the bind button on the receiver (using a wooden toothpick, etc.).
4. After a few seconds the connection is established and you can drive.
5. geNerAL DrIVINg tIPS:
• Do not steer too heavily when driving at speed so that the boat does not capsize.
• Always push the boat away from the bank.
• Take the wind direction and size of the lake into account when choosing suitable waters.
It is not recommended to drive the boat in flowing waters such as rivers and streams.
• Never drive the boat near to swimmers, animals or real boats in order to rule out the risk
of collisions and damages.
• Always keep an eye on the board and do not keep looking at the remote control!
• Reduce the speed and steer away as soon as the boat drifts off in the wrong direction.
• To drive a bend, it is often enough to turn the power steering lightly in the corresponding direc­
tion. When starting off, people tend to steer the boat too heavily. The power steering and speed
controller should always be moved slowly and carefully. Never too fast or jerkily.
• After trimming, beginners should initially learn to master the remote control. You don't necessarily
need to drive the boat fast and perform manoeuvres straight away.
• Please keep this operating manual.
• Users should only operate this boat in accordance with the instructions in this operating manual.
• Switch off the boat electronics and removed control when they are not in use.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control and boat when they are not in use.
• Always keep an eye on the boat to avoid losing control.
• As soon as the remote control no longer works reliably, new batteries should be inserted.
• We recommend that people without acknowledging handling model boats should take the boat
into operation under the supervision of experienced person.
• We recommend masking the cockpit opening with waterproof adhesive tape while operating the
boat. In doing so, water is prevented from penetrating into the model in the event of a roll-over.
Accelerate: carefully pull
the speed controller to start
the boat.
Drive left: carefully turn the
direction controller to the left
to drive a left bend, as soon
as the boat points with the
bow towards you.

Safety tips

6. SuItABLe WAterS:
The waters where the boat is driven should fulfil the following criteria:
1. Take the wind direction and size and depth of the lake into account when choosing
2. The waters/area must be free of obstacles i.e. especially plants, drifting items,
cAutIoN:
Insurance is mandatory for boats and speedboats which are operated in open water.
Please contact your private liability insurer and make sure that your new and previous
models are included in the insurance policy. Ask for a written confirmation and
keep it in a safe place.
The model has a reverse travel function. However, since the drive for a racing boat is always
very powerful, it can force the boat downward and cause it to submerge when travelling in
reverse at high speed for an extended period of time. Therefore, the reverse travel function
should only be used with low power and for a very brief time. By applying the waterproof
masking to the cockpit, you also provide additional protection and significantly reduce the
risk of submerging during reverse travel.
If the boat independently
drives to the left...
If the boat independently drives quickly or slowly to the left, turn the left/right
trimming in a clockwise direction until the boat drives straight forwards.

suitable waters. The boat should generally only be drive in fresh water and standing
water, not in rivers, streams or salt water.
animals or swimmers.
Stopping/braking: carefully
release the speed controller
to stop or brake
Drive right: carefully turn the
direction controller to the right
to drive a right bend, as soon
as the boat points with the
bow towards you.
