Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your Pro Boat™ ShockWave™ 55 Super Sport Deep-V. You are just minutes from one of the most thrilling experiences the radio control hobby has to offer.

The Pro Boat ShockWave 55 SS is a professionally built, ready-to-

run deep-V fiberglass model. Powered by the potent Zenoah

G26M engine, you will be able to race across the water at scale speeds in excess of 300 mph!

Read this owner’s manual thoroughly. You also need to read the included Zenoah G26 engine manual, along with the JR® XR3i radio system manual.

It is very important that you operate this boat responsibly. With proper care and maintenance, you will be able to enjoy your ShockWave 55 SS for many years to come.

Carefully unpack your ShockWave 55 SS and examine the boat and its contents. The box should contain the ShockWave 55 SS RTR with radio installed, a boat stand, and the JR XR3i radio transmitter. If you are missing any of these items or notice any damage, immediately contact the place of purchase.

WARNING

This boat is not a toy! It is a high performance RC model boat.

Do not take risks that could endanger you or others.

Although the ShockWave 55 SS comes fully assembled and ready for action, you will need a few additional items in order to run your boat. You will need the following:

Zenoah 2-Cycle Oil (ZEN20001) CA or epoxy glue Fuel container Fuel Pump (HAN155) 12 AA alkaline batteries (8 for the transmitter and 4 for the receiver) Gasoline (+87 Octane) ethanol-free Grease Gun with Marine Grease (PRB0100)

Suggested Field Equipment and Supplies

In addition to the items needed to run the ShockWave 55 SS, we recommend that you carry the following in your field box:

Engine Tuning Screwdriver (DYN2775) Clean towels Extra Propellers (PRB0153) 2mm hex wrench

2.5mm hex wrench 4mm hex wrench #1 Phillips screwdriver Small crescent wrench Wax Screw-locking compound

Contents

• Assembled ShockWave 55 SS RTR

• JR XR3i radio transmitter

• Boat stand

• Rudder (2)

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 to others.

Be certain to check all of the hardware, exhaust system, and propeller, making sure that all are secure

before and after each run.

Always stay clear of the propeller when the engine is running!

When you first begin to run your ShockWave 55 SS, place in water

with engine running at approximately

⁄8 throttle. Slowly increase throttle until boat accelerates onto plane. Gradually increase throttle to no more than 1⁄2 until you become more familiar with the boat.

When operating this model, stay clear of people, full-sized boats, stationary objects, and wildlife. Also, watch out for fishing lines that could get tangled in the propeller. It is preferable to operate the

Pro Boat ShockWave 55 SS in low wake, low wind conditions. If you choose to run your ShockWave 55 SS in salt water, thoroughly rinse the entire boat with fresh water and spray a silicone lubricant over the metal components to eliminate corrosion. You should also lubricate the flexshaft at this time (see Section 17 Maintenance for details). If at any time while operating your ShockWave 55 SS you sense any abnormal function, end your operation immediately. Do not operate your ShockWave 55 SS again until you are certain the problem has been corrected.

Service Center Information

If you have any questions regarding the Pro Boat ShockWave 55 SS, please contact the Horizon Service Center: Horizon Service Center 4105 Fieldstone Rd. Champaign, IL 61822 1-877-504-0233

Section 1: Boat Stand Assembly

Section 3: Installing the Radio System Batteries (cont.)

There are 4 plywood boat stand pieces. The 2 short plywood pieces are the ends of the boat stand.

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.

Secure the stand together where each piece is joined with epoxy or CA glue (not included).

Section 2: Removing the Canopy

Unscrew the 2 knurled hatch-mounting screws from the rear of the hatch. Slide the front hatch retainer toward the rear of the boat and lift the hatch from the boat.

Reinstall the battery holder into the radio compartment.

Secure the radio box cover with the six Phillips screws.

Transmitter Batteries

Remove the transmitter from the box.

Remove the battery cover on the bottom of the transmitter.

Insert 8 AA alkaline batteries into the battery holder. Note proper polarity.

Turn on the transmitter and confirm that the LCD illuminates, indicating proper installation of fully charged batteries.

Section 3: Installing the Radio System Batteries

Receiver Batteries

Remove the ten 2.5mm hex head screws that secure the clear Lexan radio box cover.

Remove the receiver battery holder and install 4 AA alkaline batteries in the battery holder. Note proper polarity.

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.

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.

Section 4: Installing the Wing

Install the wing in the direction shown.

Install the four 3mm x 20mm hex head screws and secure with the four 3mm nuts.

Apply screw locking compound to the threads to lock the nuts in place.

NOTE: The wing is not intended to be a handle.
