THE SHOCKWAVE

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ProBoat ShockWave. It’s important that you read and follow this instruction manual carefully and run your boat responsibly. With proper care and maintenance, you will be able to enjoy your ShockWave for many years to come.

Carefully unpack your new ShockWave and examine the boat and its contents. The kit contains one ShockWave and one JR XR3 Radio System transmitter. All you need to supply is 12 “AA” batteries and gas and oil.

If you find any damage or there are missing items, immediately notify the place of purchase.

WARNING

This boat is not a toy! It is a high performance R/C model boat. If operated in a careless or reckless manner, the ShockWave is capable of inflicting serious injury to people and property.

IMPORTANT-SAFETY INFORMATION — PLEASE READ

You are responsible for the safe operation of your R/C boat. Do not take risks that endanger you or others. When operating the boat in the water, stay clear of people, full-size boats, stationary objects, and wildlife. Also, watch for fishing

lines that can get tangled in the propeller. It is preferable to operate your ShockWave in low wake, low wind conditions and in areas free of people, objects, and wildlife.

Before operating your model, make sure your frequency is clear. If someone else is operating on the same frequency, both models could go out of control, possibly causing damage to the models, as well as others.

If at any time while operating your R/C model you sense any abnormal function, end your operation immediately. Do not operate your ShockWave again until you are certain the problem has been corrected.

Check all of the hardware, muffler, and propeller for security before and after each time you run your ShockWave. Always keep clear of the propeller when the engine is running. Thoroughly read all Zenoah safety and operating instructions and JR operating instructions included with this boat before operating

your ShockWave.
