Assembly
- Assemble trolley first - it makes a good platform to inflate the Boogie and install the battery.
- Unfold the Boogie and lay it on the on the trolley. Rest the motor on a towel or similar while inflating to prevent scratches from the trolley cross bar.
- All items are packaged inside the Boogie for shipping - remote, prop, repair kit etc.
- Open the zip. The zip can be quite stiff for the first few openings.
- Hold the front of the Boogie and pull towards the back of the Boogie.
- The zip is amazing - its waterproof, and airproof. However it also requires special care and attention.
- It needs to be kept clean. Do everything you can to prevent sand from getting stuck in the zipper. Do not open or close on a sandy beach. make sure the battery is clean before inserting into the Boogie.
- Keep the zipper well lubricated and closed when not in use. More information on the zip can be found.
- Always check to make sure the zip is fully sealed, and all teeth are engaged prior to going in the water. This is critical
- Detailed care and troubleshooting here
- Open the valve below located below where the battery sits. Squeeze out any air from surface below the battery sits and close the valve cap. This should remain closed and not need to be opened unless air gets trapped. This creates helps creates a shallow V in the hull and protects the battery in case of impact.
- Inflate the hull to approximately 1 PSI.
- The Control Box has two rails on with side that need to go on the underside of the hull walls. Position the hull material so that the top of the Control Box and the hull are level on each side.
- Finish inflating the hull to 10PSI. DO NOT exceed 10PSI. DO NOT leave the Boogie inflated above 5 PSI in a hot car.
- Turn the Boogie over and install the prop using a 13mm socket. The pin needs to go through the hole in the shaft and locate into the shallow recess of the prop. Failing to Locate the pin into the shallow recess in the prop will result in damage to the tail cone and require replacement.
- Install the battery into the Boogie. Handle facing the Control Box. Label facing upwards.
- When installing the battery take care to move the straps away from the battery to prevent hull damage.
- Strap the battery into to Boogie. Do not over tighten these straps.
- Ensure the battery is OFF, then plug orange into orange, and black into black.
- Close the zip
Before First Use
Update to the latest Firmware if required on both the Remote and Boogie using the instructions found here. It is a warranty requirement to keep your firmware up to date.
Setup before bse
- With the battery installed and connected, turn the battery ON. The Boogie will calibrate the steering and then be ready to use.
- The Remote comes paired with the Boogie.
- Turn on the remote and check for connection.
- Ensure the antenna on the Boogie is vertical. If it is not vertical it will reduce the range significantly.
- Close the zipper. If the zipper is stiff then apply more lubrication to the seal and sides of the ZIP
- Inflate the top shell to about 1 PSI.
- Over inflating the top shell will cause damage to the Boogie
- Over inflating will result in poor handling
- Over inflating the shell will result in the Boogie porpoising
- As a guide, 1PSI is about as much as you can blow with your lungs.
