REPLACING PC BOARD

1. Place your powerboard upside down on a stable work platform.

2. Be sure the remote control gun is disconnected.

3. Remove the four allen bolts holding on the aluminum fin cover. REMOVE THE BOLTS AND WASHER COMPLETELY AND SET ASIDE. The Curtis controller (p.c.board) is attached to the bottom of the cover.

4. Gently lift up the fin conver/ p.c. assembly.

5. Note how the wires are connected.

6. Remove the red battery connector first.

7. Remove the black battery wire.

8. The two remaining connectors are motor wires. NOTE how they are connected. Some powerboards have these wires reversed. NOTE HOW YOUR MOTOR WIRES ARE CONNECTED BEFORE YOU REMOVE THEM. If the motor wires are reversed, the motor will spin in the wrong direction. Most should be like this photo. Remove the two motor wire connectors.

9. Note how the cable wire harness is attached. The two outside pins are skipped, as well as one inside pin.

10. Gently remove the white cable harness.

11. Replace old fin cover/ p.c. board assembly with new one.

12. Attach cable harness first. Note the two vertical ridges on one side of the white connector fitting. These GO AWAY from you. Gently push the white harness clip on the pins leaving the two outside pins vacant, and the one inside pin vacant. IF YOU INSTALL THIS CLIP WRONG, YOU WILL BURN THE P.C. BOARD IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE BATTERY CONNECTORS ARE INSTALLED, SO DO IT RIGHT.

13. Install the two motor connectors.

NOTE: In some instances, you may spread the yellow connector fitting that friction fits over the p.c. board stud. To be sure these connectors will be tight when you push them on the new p.c., we recommend compressing them gently with a pair of pliers.

14. Install the black battery connector.

15. Install the red battery connector.

16. Connect the gun, turn it on, and test the board before you bolt on the fin cover.

17. Install the fin cover, being sure the wires are not binding. Be sure the motor wires are free. If they are not, the connector can be pulled off when the motor assembly twists when turning the powerboard. Move the rear wheels, and make sure they can turn and the motor wires are free to move and will not pull off the connector clips.

18. Carefully reinstall the aluminum plate, being sure all wires are free and not caught.

19. ENJOY YOUR POWERBOARD!
