3.2 — General Assembly
1. Remove plugs from torrent board V7 on top and bottom of the board using a coin or similar size object.
3. Fix 2 TORX M9 bolts into the top side of the board.
2. Insert thruster assembly into FCS fin slots as shown below. The thrusters are interchangeable and work on either
side of the board.
TOP BOTTOM
NOTE: Only use the FCS key to secure the thruster assembly to the board and do not overtighten.

3. Fit the skid guards making sure they are paired, matching the color of the skid guard to the color of the dot
on the board as each side is slightly different. Use the TORX driver to tighten the top bolt but be careful not to
overtighten. Next place the skid guard on the correct side of the board matching the color of the skid guard to the
colored dot on the underside of the board. Slide the mounts over the TORX screws in the bottom of the board.
Tighten the TORX screws approximately ½ turn to secure. Once complete, turn the board over.
NOTE: If the TORX screws are not fitted then they will need to be fitted first.
NOTE: When viewed in the normal operating position when the unit is floating on the water the red skid
guard should be on the left (PORT) and the green skid guard should be on the right (STARBOARD) side of
the board when viewed from behind. Pass the cables through the holes of the board and ensure the coned
plugs fit firmly, this stops air from being sucked down through the board.

4. Connect the cables from the thrusters to the rQPOD. Do not overtighten the locking sleeves. Periodically grease
the connectors with the supplied grease in the accessories case, especially if plugs are hard to insert.

5. Place the rQPOD on the board using the mounting plate, it should slide in from one side then rotate down.
Tighten the TORX screws to hold in place but do not overtighten.
6. Turn the remote control transmitter and make sure that switch F is in the lower position and the throttle stick is
in the center neutral position.
NOTE: Make sure switch F is in the lower position for low speed otherwise a warning will be displayed.
CAUTION: If it is raining or damp use the provided transmitter glove – the transmitter is not waterproof
and may fail if it gets wet.

7. In a dry environment, undo the black handles and remove the clear battery cover. This has been designed to be
a tight fit to stop water ingress. Insert the two batteries and push home, they click in place. Turn the batteries on –
one short press to check the battery level and then a long press to activate them. Check the clear battery cover for
dirt and clean if necessary and re-grease. Replace the battery cover making sure the arrow on the cover is pointing
towards the sky, it is keyed and can only go on one way. Lock the handles in place and visually check all seals
through the clear battery cover. Clean if necessary.
NOTE: Only use batteries that have similar charge levels.
NOTE: Both batteries need to be installed.
NOTE: Check the O-Ring seals and re-grease if necessary.
NOTE: When activated, battery will chime and LED lights will turn green.
