top of the battery and connect to hook.

fere with movement of wire pushrod.

Motor Test and Battery Discharge
CAUTION: Keep everything clear of the propeller.
A moving propeller can cause injury.
1. The small lever next to the throttle stick (left
stick on transmitter) is called a throttle trim
lever. With your boat on the stand, transmitter
turned on, and battery installed, make sure
the throttle trim lever is in the center
(neutral) position.
2. If motor is running, gradually move the trim
lever down until the motor stops.
3. Move throttle stick (left stick on transmitter)
up. Motor speed will increase as this
stick is moved up.
4. In order to fully discharge the battery, run
the motor at high speed until it shuts off. If
there is not enough charge in the battery to
power the propeller, then proceed to Step 4
(on next page).
5. When finished with the motor test, be sure to
disconnect the battery first then turn off the
transmitter.

Important: Charge the battery shortly before
running the Zig Zag Racer 2. If you charge the
battery 12–48 hours before use, charge again for
30 minutes right before you run. Stop charging
immediately when the battery becomes warm,
indicating it is fully charged.
Charging the Zig Zag Battery
Note: Never charge a hot battery or a battery
that is already charged. Always discharge before
every charge. See Step 3 for instructions on
discharging.
See "Warnings and Safety" on page 24.
1. The charger supplied with the Zig Zag Racer 2™
has a built-in timer. Plug the battery into the
charger, and then plug the charger into the
wall. The LED indicator should glow constantly.
After about 3 hours, the LED will turn off. At
this time, the battery is charged and ready
to use.
2. To charge another battery, the charger must
first be unplugged from both the wall and the
battery to reset the timer.

Rudder Test
NOTE:
The small lever under the rudder stick is
called a trim lever and is used to adjust
the "neutral" point of your control stick.
To do this, place the rudder stick in
neutral (center) position. If rudder is
not aligned straight ahead, use the
rudder trim lever to center it.
Move the rudder stick
(right stick on transmitter)
side to side. The rudder should
move as shown in the drawings.

Choosing Your Location
CAUTION: Parents, do not allow young children to
go the lake or pool unsupervised. Be safe and
stay away from steep grades near shorelines
where you or those with you could slip and fall
into the water.
1. Choose a location that is not being used by
swimmers when you are running your boat.
2. If you choose a lake, be sure there is no moss,
grass, weeds or debris present that could get
wrapped around the propeller or trap your boat
offshore.
3. Make sure the shoreline is clear and relatively
flat so you can easily launch, operate and
retrieve your boat.
DO NOT mix radio control
boating and swimming.
DO NOT swim to retrieve
your boat.
Do not operate your boat near
moss, grass, weeds, brush, etc.
