Charging the Battery
• Plug the battery into the plug from the charger, Notice that
you can only put the plug in one way. Do not force the plug
in. When removing battery from charger push the release
button on the charging plug.
• Now plug the charger itself into a 110 volt wall outlet. The
Battery will be fully charged in 4 to 6 hours.
o Maximum charge time: 8hours!! Do not leave your
battery unattended whil charging. Do not leave battery charging more than maximum
charge time of 8 hours
Installing Transmitter Batteries
• Install fresh alkaline batteries into the back of the transmitter. Follow the diagram in the radio tray
for proper polarity. When nished close the battery cover, turn the transmitter switch on and the
green and red lights should both be on and bright.
• As your transmitter batteries wear down the red light will glow brighter and the green light
dimmer. If your lights do not go on, or only the red light goes on, then before running your boat,
change the batteries in your transmitter. Failure to do so will result in loss of control.
LETS GO BOATING
• Turn your Transmitter “on”, make sure the green and red LED lights are both
illuminated. Extend your antenna all the way out being careful not to bend it.
Attention: Always turn your transmitter on rst before installing a battery into the
boat.
• Take your fully charged 6V battery off your charger, pull the lid off of your H20 and install the 6V
battery. Plug the battery into the matching plug inside your boat.
• Pre-boating Check:
o Adjusting Trim Tabs: Hold you boat and make sure your body, ngers and
loose clothing are away from tnhe propeller. Make sure both control sticks
of the transmitter are not being moved. In this resting state the propeller on
your Micro boat should not be moving. If it is, you will need to adjust the trim
tabs on your transmitter until the propeller is no longer moving
o Controls Check: while looking from the stern (back) of your boat move the right control
stick on the transmitter to the LEFT. The back of the rudder should turn left, now move
the control to the right and the rudder should also move to the right. The ne tune control
on your transmitter will CENTER the rudder if its not centered when the control stick is
neutral.
• The speed control is activated by the RED button located on the top of the inner cover. The left
control stick controls your motor and speed control, before activating the reset button make sure
the propeller is clear of ALL obstructions i.e. (your ngers). Once you push the reset button push
the left control stick forward and the motor and propeller should turn, if not check the battery and

motor connections and then retry.
• Seal the inner lid and attach the top onto your H2O and gently put your boat into the water.
Slowly move the left control stick forward and watch how the boat performs in the water.
• Once your boat starts slowing down, bring it back to shore as soon as possible. Remove the
battery, let cool approximately 10 minutes and then recharge for more racing action.
CARE FOR YOUR H2O
• After your last run of the day, always wipe off your boat and open up the inner lid allowing
any moisture to dry. Never pack your boat away wet, this is misuse and will cause
corrosion.
Never leave your battery plugged into your boat while not running.
Always unplug your battery rst, then turn off your radio.
With proper care and running you will have hours and hours of high speed fun with
your H2O, remember keep your topside up and HAVE FUN!
Troubleshooting:
If you experience bounciness (nose bouncing up and down) move your battery pack slightly forward
inside the boat. Once you have found the Balance point always put your battery in that location.
