6.2 - PRINCIPAL SAFETY REGULATIONS.
- Aquascooter is designed for use by good swimmers. A lifejacket must be
worn at all times.
- Keep at a safe distance from the beach (do not go out farther than you can
swim back).
- The Aquascooter is not a buoyancy aid and is not designed to support the
weight of a person in the water.
- Long hair, ribbons, cords, necklaces, etc. must be kept away from the
propeller. If you have long hair, wear a bathing cap (long hair can be caught
up by the propeller).
- Children should only use the Aquascooter under adult supervision.
- Beware of obstacles under water or on the surface.
- Always avoid getting too close to other bathers or craft in the water.
- Never leave the Aquascooter running and unattended in zones where
there are other people.
- Do not put anything into the water intake deflector (propeller guard).
- Do not smoke while refuelling, emptying or preparing the fuel mixture.
- Only start out with a full fuel tank (roughly 2 hours of run time). There is
no reserve.
- Do not start the engine in closed environments (the exhaust gases are
toxic).
- Empty the fuel out of the Aquascooter before transporting it on any type of
vehicle. Use metal containers for the fuel that comply with the law.
- The Aquascooter is not for diving. Keep the intake of the snorkel well
above the surface of the water and check frequently for any traces of water
in the air tank: if there is any water, empty it out.
- If necessary, the Aquascooter can be turned off quickly by blocking the
snorkel with a finger, or with the START-STOP lever.
- Do not tamper with the controls and never remove the safety systems and
guards of the machine, even momentarily.
- Do not inhale the exhaust gas.
