Thank you for purchasing the Pro Boat® Apache™ 24 Ready-To-Run
boat. Please read these instructions carefully before attempting to
operate your boat.
The Apache 24 comes Ready-To-Run with the Pro Boat 2.4GHz radio
system and electronic speed controller already installed. All assembly
and building is done at the factory, allowing you to quickly get your
boat running.
It is important that you read and follow this instruction manual, along
with the radio system 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 Apache 24 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 Apache
24 in low wake, low wind conditions and in areas free of people,
wildlife and objects.
Before you operate your model, make sure that your frequency is clear.
If someone is operating on the same frequency, both models could go
out of control, possibly causing damage to the models or to others.
Check all of the hardware, and the propeller for damage and loose
screws before and after each run.
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.
Age Recommendation: Not for children under 14 years.
This is not a toy.
