Glader RC Jet Sprint Boat
Feature Introduction
- Strong material: The boat is constructed from tough and hard material, making it easy to clean.
- Excellent waterproof performance: The streamlined design and waterproofing of the entire boat effectively prevent seepage and water leakage.
- Flexible steering: Offers simple operation, strong stability, and easy changes in speed and direction.
- Turbojet driving: Utilizes a turbine water jet for stable and fast forward propulsion.
- Low battery warning: The transmitter's red indicator light will flash continuously and emit a "drip" sound when the transmitter battery is low. A "drip" sound also indicates low battery on the boat.

Charging Process
NOTICE: Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and not damaged. Inspect the battery for any signs of damage such as swelling, bending, breaking, or puncturing.
WARNING:
- Only use chargers specifically designed for the included Li-Ion battery. Failure to do so may result in fire, injury, or property damage.
- Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
- Follow all instructions and warnings exactly. Mishandling Li-ion batteries can cause damage to the model, battery, and property.
- Never leave charging batteries unattended.
- Never leave batteries charging overnight.
- If a battery begins to balloon at any time, discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging, stop and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge, or discharge a ballooning battery can result in fire.
- Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results.
- Always transport or temporarily store the battery in a temperature range of 5-49°C.
- Do not store the battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. Storage in a hot car can damage the battery or cause it to catch fire.
- Always charge batteries away from flammable materials.
- Always inspect the battery before charging.
- Always disconnect the battery after charging and allow the charger to cool between charges.
- Never charge batteries outside recommended levels.
- Never charge damaged batteries.
- Never attempt to dismantle or alter the charger.
- Never allow minors to charge battery packs.
- Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places (advice between 5-49°C) or in direct sunlight.
Battery Charging Method
- Insert the USB cable into the USB socket of a computer or a cell phone charger USB socket. The indicator on the USB cable will be red.
- Connect the battery plug to the USB charging plug, observing correct polarity. The charger will display a solid red light and a flashing green light. After a few seconds, the green light will stop flashing. Connect the battery, and the green light will flash, indicating the battery is charging. The battery is fully charged when the green light turns solid.
Installing the Battery Pack
Remote Control Boat Battery Installation
- Turn the knob as shown to unlock the boat cover, then remove the cover board.
- Take off the cover off the boat as shown.
- Place the battery into the holder, ensuring it is secure and does not move.
- Connect the red T-Plug battery connector to the matching connector in the boat, then turn on the power switch.
- Slide the front of the boat body into the hull slot.
- Turn the knobs as shown to lock the boat body.
Transmitter Battery Installation
Open the battery cover of the remote controller. Insert 4 x 1.5V "AA" batteries (purchased separately) into the battery case, observing positive and negative polarity, then close the battery cover.
Recommended Areas to Use Your Jet Boat
- Use in lakes, pools, swimming pools, and other places with deep water.
- Avoid using in shallow water, beach areas, or areas with sand and gravel, as this can block the jet port and damage the boat.
Preparation for Use
- Connect the battery to the matching connector in the boat.
- Power on the transmitter.
- Wait for the red LED light to change from flashing to steady on. The binding link is now complete, and the boat is ready for use.
Operation Method
- Forward: Pull the transmitter throttle stick inward; the boat moves forward.
- Turn Left: Pull the transmitter throttle stick inward and turn the steering wheel counterclockwise simultaneously; the boat will turn left.
- Turn Right: Pull the transmitter throttle stick inward and turn the steering wheel clockwise simultaneously; the boat will turn right.
Transmitter Function Description
- Tail rudder trim: Use the "Tail rudder trim" knob to adjust the left and right steering angle of the boat.
- Steering trim:
- (1) If the boat moves to the left while moving forward, turn the steering trim knob clockwise to center the boat and ensure it travels in a straight line.
- (2) If the boat deflects to the right while moving forward, turn the fine adjustment knob counterclockwise until the boat travels in a straight line.
- Throttle adjust: The throttle speed adjustment knob can be used to adjust the acceleration of the model.
- Light switch: The boat's lights are on by default. Press the "light switch" button to turn off the ship's lights; press it again to turn them back on.
Troubleshooting and Warnings
- Transmitter Low Battery: When the transmitter's LED indicator light starts to flash continuously and emit a "drip" sound, the transmitter batteries are low. Drive the boat back to shore as soon as possible and replace the batteries.
- Boat Low Battery: When the red light on the remote control flashes and emits a "beep" or "boop" sound, the boat's battery is low. Drive the boat back to shore as soon as possible to replace the battery.
- Range Warning: If the red light on the remote control flashes and emits a "beep" or "boop" sound while the turboboat is traveling a distance, it indicates that the boat is exceeding the remote control range. Turn back immediately.
- Motor Blocked: If the motor is blocked by sundries for one second, it will enter a stuck state. To prevent the motor from burning out, the boat will automatically stop, and the remote control will emit a long "Dee" sound.
Product Maintenance
After using the boat, remove the top cover and take out the battery. Check the hull for water. If water is present, wipe it dry and leave it in the air to dry completely before replacing the cover. This prevents damage to internal electronic parts. When ready to use again, secure the battery on the rack and connect it to the power source.
Hull Maintenance
If the boat slows down suddenly during high-speed driving, the bottom suction port may be blocked by leaves, gravel, or other debris, jamming the propeller. First, push the throttle forward to see if the speed returns to normal. If the speed remains low, drive the boat back to shore promptly. Flush the bottom suction port with clean water and check for any debris. If no debris is found, you can continue to use the boat.
