INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the AquaCraft

™

VS1! We want

the time you spend with your new R/C boat to be fun and

successful so please fully read the manual. If for any reason

you think this R/C model is not for you, return it to your local

hobby dealer immediately. Your hobby dealer cannot accept

returns on any model after final assembly or after your boat

has been operated.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Never, ever, attempt to swim after a stalled R/C boat.

Do not get in the water for any reason to retrieve your

boat. To aid you in retrieving a stalled R/C boat, set up a

ﬁ shing reel with a tennis ball tied to the end of the line.

Or better yet, get yourself a small boat so you can row

out and pick up your R/C boat. Remember to use a PFD

any time you enter your retrieval craft.

• AquaCraft products are to be used by ages 14 and over.

• Do not touch the propeller anytime the motor is running.

Pay equally close attention to items such as loose clothing,

shirtsleeves, ties, scarves, long hair or anything that may

become entangled in the spinning prop. If your ﬁ ngers,

hands, etc., come in contact with the spinning propeller,

you may be severely injured.

• The speed and mass of this boat can inﬂ ict property

damage and severe personal injury if a collision occurs.

Never run this boat in the presence of swimmers or where

the possibility of collision with people or property exists.

• Glow engines produce heat. Do not touch any part of your

motor until it has cooled.

• This boat is controlled by radio signals, which are susceptible

to possible interference from other R/C transmitters, paging

systems, or other electrical noise. Before turning your radio

transmitter and receiver on, make sure no one else in the

area is operating a radio on the same frequency (channel).

• In the event that weeds become entangled in the propeller,

stop the motor before attempting to remove them.

• If your VS1 should happen to stall, water currents will slowly

carry it to shore. The bad news is that the boat could be

carried to the opposite shore. When surveying areas to run

your boat, keep variables in mind such as wind direction, size

of the lake, etc. It is not advisable to run R/C boats on any

free-ﬂ owing bodies of water such as creeks or rivers.
