INTRODUCTION

The Surge is engineered t o be f a s t , reliable and easy to drive.
The installed water cooling system forthe motor helps t o keep the boat cool after long-time run. The steerable outdnve with adjustable tim deliver precise control and high-performance tuning options. Surge features forward/reverse running, left/right steering navigation, and self-righting (flip) function. Saffty Precautions

1. Adult supervisionis strongly recommended! Children should be warned about he dangers of playing i n close proximity t o water.

2. Do not attempt to charge battery packs in the immediate vicinity of swimming pools, lakes, rivers, oceans, inland seas, e t c .
