• Monitor the low battery warning. Return the boat to shore immediately when the warning activates to avoid losing control.
• Avoid continuous high-speed operation for extended periods to prevent overheating. The internal cooling system helps, but breaks are recommended.
• Maintain line of sight with the boat at all times.

Maintenance

1. After Each Use

• Wipe down the boat's exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove any water or debris.
• Open the hatch and dry the interior thoroughly to prevent moisture buildup and corrosion.
• Inspect the propeller for any tangled debris (e.g., weeds, fishing line) and carefully remove it.
• Check the rudder and propeller for any damage.

2. Storage

• Store the boat and transmitter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Remove batteries from both the boat and the transmitter if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
