Banana Hobby Majesty 800s Instruction Manual
MAJESTY 800S
RADIO CONTROLLED ELECTRIC POWERED RACING BOAT
Installing the battery
1.
Connect the rechargeable battery inside the boat cabin.
2.
Place boat battery into the bracket at the rear of the boat cabin. Make sure it is secure.
3.
Remove the battery cover of the transmitter (controller) to place 8 AA batteries into the
battery compartment. Make sure the polarity is correct or the transmitter will not work.
Place the battery cover back on.
Installing the hatch cover
Insert the hatch cover into the front of the boat hatch. Push the hatch
cover forward to lock. Remove the two snap fasteners at the end of
the hatch cover towards the rim to lock it.
Power switch
The power switch of the boat is located on its deck. The correct
power up process is to turn on the transmitter first and then the
boat last by installing the battery and pulling the switch to “ON.”
Remember to keep hands away from the propellers and to make
sure there is nothing hindering the propellers from spinning as
this can cause damage and injury.
Charging
To charge the battery, connect the boat battery to the wall charger. Charging time will be around 6
hours for a full charge.
NOTE: You must completely drain/discharge the battery before charging. This only refers to Ni-
CD and Ni-MH batteries and not Li-Polymer. When the battery is warm to the touch, you can
unplug the battery and it is ready for use. Never leave a battery charging unattended.
Operating the boat
1.
Use the correct power up process by turning on the transmitter (controller) and then plug
in the boat battery before turning the switch on the boat to ON.
2.
Put the boat in water.
Controls:
Throttle stick- this stick operates the motors of your boat.
Push the throttle stick (left joystick) up to move the boat forward.
The two propellers at the end of the boat will spin simultaneously.
Rudder stick- also known as the right joystick; makes the boat turn.
Push the rudder stick (right joystick) left to turn left; push right to turn right.
In order for the boat to turn, one motor will stop working or run
slower while the other motor will run normally to compensate for that
turn. Make sure you have the throttle stick up as well.
Other information about your boat
Frequency interference
Your boat operates on a regular FM radio system and is prone to pick up signals from
other signal emitting devices like a music radio. Make sure you are operating your boat away from
other technologies. You can operate two boats at a time as long as they are on different frequencies
Things to be aware of:
1.
Do not operate the boat in a swimming pool if it is already occupied with people.
2.
Do not use the boat in dirty water or if there are small particles floating around. This can
get caught in the boat’s propellers and cause damage.
3.
Remove the battery from the boat if you are not going to use it for a while. Also remove
the battery from your transmitter as well.
4.
This boat must be cleaned for
maintenance after every use. To
clean the transmission shafts,
use the wrench (included in this
package) to loosen the screws
securing the transmission shafts and take them out to be cleaned and stored in a dry
space. You will need to lubricate the copper tubes for operating the boat later.
5.
The signal range of the distance between the controller and the boat is approximately 40
meters. Do not use this boat out of range.
6.
The propellers on the boat will stop spinning if taken out of the water.
7.
You can test the boat without
placing it in water. To do so, place
a conductive stick onto the copper
tubes in the boat cabin then push
the left handle of the controller
forward. If the propellers rotate
then the boat is functioning. If you
don’t get a response from pushing
on the throttle stick, then you may have powered it up incorrectly or the battery may not
have been charged or that there may be a malfunction with an electronic component.
8.
Make sure to keep the boat away from direct sunlight or in heated places. Use this boat in
clean water and remember to clean and air dry the boat after every use.
