permanently damage parts when tightening TP
screws. It is recommended to stop tightening when
the part is securely attached or when some resistance
is felt after the threaded portion enters the plastic.
This kit contains many screws in and other hardware

OPERATING YOUR MODEL SAFELY
Do not put your hands or
any objects into rotating
parts, as this could result in
serious accidents!
The motor and Ni-Cd
battery get hot from run--
ning. Do not touch them
for a while after running.
Never dispose of Ni-Cd batteries into a fire, as these
can explode or emit noxious gases from heavy met-als
used in Ni-Cd batteries !
When disassembling or modifying Ni-Cd batteries.
Never do that!
For accident prevention, do not run your model under
the following circumstances:
Always be considerate of other beach users whilst using this
model.
When rivers are swollen or their current is strong!
With weak radio batteries!
Also make sure that nobody is using the same
frequency as you do at the same time!
When the boat behaves or operates strangely!
Operate your Kyosho R/C Surfer in waves under ..5m height. Do
not operate in heavy seas or when a storm warning is in force.
Operate Kyosho R/C Surfer at lifeguard patrolled beachs, and in
signposted surfcraft areas only. Stay away from swimmers. Notify
the lifeguard of your presence,and follow his/her instructions.
Do not dispose of Ni-Cd batteries! Return them to the
retail shop!
With R/C boats, discover a new world of pleasure.
Wheth-er you run your boat on lakes, rivers or else-
where, take precautionary measures to avoid accidents.
Pay attention to the waves and operate your board from shore.
Always keep model in sight,and within 20m--from shore.
Enjoy your R/C Surfer with your guardian/protector if you are
under 15 years old.
CHECK
When NOT using the model, always
switch off the receiver and transmitter!
Furthermore, disconnect the Ni-Cd
battery and remove it from the model!
This may lead to overheat and fires!

HOW TO SURF
STEP LAUNCHING R/C SURFER.
STEP GETTING "OUT THE BACK" OF THE WAVES.
STEP WAITING "OUT THE BACK" FOR THE GOOD WAVE.
STEP CATCHING AND RIDING A WAVE.
STEP CORNERING AND GETTING OFF WAVES.
Enjo y yo ur K yo sho R/C Surfe r on t he p ri nc ip le o f safety first.
Stee r R/ C Su rf er through su rf i n si mi la r wa y to R /C boats.
When launching, pay attention to oncoming
waves, to avoid falling in the water and wetting
the transmitter.
Launch R/C Surfer by placing into water during
flattest conditions between "sets"of waves.
Motor R/C Surfer out past small waves close to
shoreline.
Keep radio handset dry at all times.
Choose the easiest path out through the surf,
paying attention to avoid being hit by breaking
waves. Jump broken waves "whitewash"
straight on, and try to steer towards the
unbroken parts of the waves "shoulder".
Position R/C Surfer behind breaking wave area
"impact zone" for best wave selection.Operate
R/C surfer from beach away from shoreline.
keeping the model within 20m of operator.
When in position "out the back", point the R/C
Surfer towards shore, paying attention not to
get "caught inside", of oncoming breaking
waves. Try not to waste battery power whilst
waiting for wave.
When your selected wave begins to lift the tail
of the R/C Surfer, switch motor power on to
"take off". Adjust the speed of the R/C Surfer to
match the speed of the wave by using motor
switch on/off "stalling". After you have
mastered surfing straight to shore, begin
experimenting using rudder control to surf
across the waves "cornering".
Cornering is the starting point for advanced R/C
surfing. When the R/C Surfer has "taken off" and is
very close to the bottom of the wave, gently turn the
R/C Surfer "bottom turn" in required direction, paying
attention to the falling "lip". Stop "bottom turn" when
the R/C Surfer is surfing straight across the wave.
When desired length of ride is reached, or the wave
threatens to "dump" on the shoreline, another
"bottom turn" will direct the R/C Surfer over the back
of the wave "flicking off". Allways try to "flick off" to
avoid being "dumped" on shore by "closeout".
Use step (2) to get "out the back" again.
Pay attention to when the R/C Surfer begins to slow
down, as battery power gets low. When this begins to
happen, surf R/C Surfer closer to shore to be easily
retrieved. Save enough battery power to motor into
shore to avoid being caught "out the back" with no
power. Catch small wave straight to shore. Hold
transmitter high when retrieving R/C Surfer from surf.
Once retrieved, wash sand off R/C Surfer, and dry
well before battery removal/change.
Motor R/C Surfer out past small
waves close to shoreline.
Ni-Cd battery capacity is insufficient.
Speed control servo does
not operate.
Loose connectors.
Improper radio installation.
Replace with new batteries.
Correct as per radio instruction
manual.
Recharge Ni-Cd battery.
Make connectors tighter (e.g. with
minus screwdriver).
Switch on.Transmitter and/or receiver is not switched on.
Transmitter batteries are weak.
Motor does not rotate.
Improper radio installation. Correct as per instruction manual.
Dirt entered rotating parts. Clean and regrease.
When rotating by hand, propeller
feels heavy or does not rotate.
Even when releasing speed
control, boat will not stop.
Improper linkage adjustment. Adjust speed control trim on transmitter.
Should speed controller not return to
neutral, readjust linkages as per in-
struction manual.
Motor rotates but boat will not run.
Joint is not installed.
Or, screws are loose.
Tighten screws holding joint.
Motor trouble. Replace with new motor.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure screws and nuts are securely tightened
and other parts are not worn.
Grease all rotating parts.
Repair the wiring should cords be damaged or drag
into rotating parts.
Should servo cords and the receiver antenna be
damaged, return them to the manufacturer for repair.
Make sure all parts are neither worn nor damaged.
Remove dirt from the hull.
Draw out water from inside the hull.
Oil the metal parts.
