Important safety notes

You have purchased a kit which can be assembled to produce a fully working RC model when fitted out with
the appropriate accessories. As manufacturers, we at GRAUPNER are not in a position to influence the way
you install, operate and maintain the boat, nor the other components used in connection with the model. For
this reason we are obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to the incom-
petent or incorrect use and operation of our products, or which are connected with such operation in any
way. Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of the GRAUPNER company to pay com-
pensation, regardless of the legal argument employed, is excluded. This includes personal injury, death,
damage to buildings, loss of trade or turnover, interruption of business or other indirect or direct damages
which are caused by the operation of the model.
Under all circumstances and in all cases the company's overall liability is limited to the amount which you
actually paid for this model.
The model is operated at the sole risk of the operator. To avoid injury to persons and damage to
property please handle your model boat carefully and operate it conscientiously at all times.
Before you run the boat for the first time it is important to check that your private third party insurance policy
provides cover when you are operating model boats of this kind. If you are not sure, take out a special insur-
ance policy designed to cover the risks of RC modelling.
These safety notes are important, and must be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be
sure to pass them on to the new owner.
The following points are important and must be observed at all times:

Although the model is small in size, it is still relatively fast, and is therefore not suitable for children or
young persons under fourteen years of age. The activity should always be supervised by a parent or
guardian. The boat virtually represents a miniature version of a pro-style model racing boat.

This is a high-speed model, which means that you must never operate it when there are persons or
animals in the water, otherwise there is a serious risk of the boat causing severe injury.

Never run your boat in a protected site, an animal or plant sanctuary or a site of special scientific interest
(SSSI). Please bear in mind that the operation of racing model boats is prohibited on many stretches of
water. Check with your local authority that the location you wish to use is suitable for model boats.

Never run the model in salt water.

Never operate your boat in adverse conditions, e.g. rain, storm, strong wind, choppy water or strong
currents.

Before you run the model check that the radio control system is working reliably, and that all connections
are secure.

The maximum number of models which can be operated simultaneously varies according to the potential
interference from other radio systems. For this reason we cannot guarantee that more than four models
can be operated safely at the same time.

Do not work on the model - and on the power system in particular - unless the motor is stopped.

When the motor is running, always keep well clear of the area around the propeller, as this represents
the greatest risk of accident and injury.

Do not exceed the recommended operating voltage range. Higher voltages can cause the motor or
speed controller to overheat, and electrical leads may even melt. If this happens, your model could be
ruined or go up in flames.
