Inspection

Carefully remove the boat and radio transmitter from the box. Inspect the boat to make sure no damage is present. If you notice damage is present, please contact the hobby shop where you purchased it.

General Guidelines

It is important that you read and follow this instruction manual, along with the radio system manual and the engine manual, before you run this exciting boat. Failure to read and understand the manual could result in personal injury, property damage or permanent damage to your boat. It is also important to run your boat responsibly. With proper care and maintenance, you will be able to proudly enjoy your HyperSport 48 for many years to come. When operating the boat, stay clear of people, full-scale boats, stationary objects and wildlife. It is preferable to operate the HyperSport 48 in low wake, low wind conditions and in areas free of people, wildlife and objects.

Conrm that all batteries are new and fully

charged prior to each run and that the failsafe feature has been set properly in the event of signal loss (see Spektrum radio manual for details). If at any time while operating your model you sense any abnormal function, end your operation immediately. Do not operate your boat again until you are certain the problem has been corrected. Always stay clear of

the propeller.

Suggested Field Equipment and Supplies

In addition to the items needed to run the HyperSport 48, we recommend that you carry the

Section 1: Building the Boat Stand

 1. There are 4 plywood boat stand pieces.

The 2 short plywood pieces are the ends of the boat stand.

 2. Secure the 2 long plywood pieces of

the interlocking boat stand to one end of the short plywood pieces. Repeat with the remaining short plywood pieces.

 3. Secure the stand together where each

piece is joined with epoxy or CA glue (not included).

Section 2: Removing the Canopy

 Unscrew the knurled hatch-mounting

screw from the rear of the hatch. Lift the hatch from the rear and pull to the rear.

Section 3: Installing the Radio System Batteries

Receiver Batteries

 1. Use a 2.5mm hex wrench to remove the

eight 2.5mm hex head screws that secure the radio box cover.

 2. Remove the battery holder and install 4

AA alkaline batteries in the polarity shown on the battery box.

Note: You may consider upgrading the receiver battery to a rechargeable battery pack. We recommend a 6-volt 1400mAh 3+2 hump rechargeable battery pack or equivalent (DYN1445). See your local Pro Boat dealer.

Transmitter Batteries

 1. Remove the transmitter from the box.

 3. Wrap the battery pack in foam and

reinstall the radio box cover.

bottom of the transmitter.

 3. Insert 4 AA alkaline batteries into the

 5. Turn on the receiver switch and move

the controls. Confirm that all controls operate in the proper direction and are controlled by the proper transmitter input.

 6. Turn the transmitter and the receiver

switch off. To keep the boat from receiving stray signals, the transmitter should be turned on first, followed by the receiver. Likewise, the receiver should be turned off first, then the transmitter.
