SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

➧ Eight “AA” batteries

ITEMS INCLUDED

ITEMS REQUIRED

➧ Never, ever, attempt to swim after a stalled RC boat. DO NOT

get in the water for any reason to retrieve your boat. Your Mini
Alligator Tours has fl otation added to the interior of the hull and
the cowl. They will not sink. To aid you in retrieving a stalled RC
boat you can use a fi shing reel with a tennis ball tied to the end
of the line. Or better yet, get yourself a small Jon boat so you
can row out and pick up your 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 engine 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.

➧ 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).

➧ If your Mini Alligator Tours should happen to lose power, 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 model, 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.

SETUP AND OPERATION

Install the transmitter antenna into the top of the transmitter,
turning it clockwise to screw it in place. Then, turn the
transmitter on, making sure the power light is glowing.
