To turn left
Press the accelerator trigger of the remote controller. turn the knob counterclockwise, and the ship will turn left.

To turn right
Press the accelerator trigger of the remote controller. tum the knob clockwise, and the snip will turn right.

CAPSIZING RESET

Push and pull the accelerator rhythmically and quickly according to the video. The operation should be from press to push, and repeat the operation twice. The last stop position shall be in the retreat position. Observe whether the hull is returned to a normal state. If the self-overturning fails three consecutive times, please try again one minute later, so as to avoid the decline of the waterproof performance due to the high temperature of the hull.

The detailed operation can be shown after scanning the QR code in 1he figure.
If the video cannot be played, please ask the dealer of the purchase channel for the video file.

Safety tips:
Before sailing, you should turn on the power switch of the remote controller firstly. When the connection between the power switch and the hull battery has been completed. the frequency pairing will be activated. Mer frequency pairing is completed, the hull will make a sound. Please ensure that the battery and the motor are firmly connected. The poor connection of the power supply terminal may result in continuous vibration. The improper operation may impact the yacht and damage the hull or the propeller Please sad in the waters without people, and stay away from salt water and dirty water. The battery shall be taken out after the sailing, and the engine compartment shall be kept dry and clean.

Battery maintenance:
When the yacht speed Is reduced significantly during use or when the low- voltage alarm sounds, the battery Is low. Please control the yacht to return within one to two minutes. If the yacht continues to sail, the battery Hill be In an over-discharge state After the yacht returns. please unplug the battery from the hull immediately. The plug must be pulled out. Otherwise, the battery is discharged. Under the continuous discharge state, the battery will be over- discharged to show swelling in appearance.

Hull maintenance:
After use. please open the inner cover/if a small number of water drops exist. the hull ls in the normal slate, the interior dry state can be kept after drying and pouring/the plug Is pulled out to disconnect the battery from the hull, and a dry lower is used for wiping off the water on the hull and a, the hardware around the propeller.

SELF-REVERSAL PROCESS

In the process of hull reversal, if it fails three times. stop all the next operations and stay on the water for one minute before continuing the self- reversal. And so on …
The rotating shaft rotates at high speed and rubs against the copper pipe. If It falls to reverse successfully after three attempts, the copper pipe will generate a high temperature to met the waterproof glue. This may cause a leakage of the hull.
