The Distributor HALCYON , declares that:
•
the Halcyon diving vehicle (henceforth called “HDV”) shall be delivered to the buyer
in perfect working condition, complete with its use and maintenance manual;
•
any person attempting to use the diving vehicle shall be deemed to have undergone
specific training in the use of similar diving vehicles and to have obtained the
necessary certification issued by a qualified agency;
•
any person attempting to use the diving vehicle shall be deemed to have read the
use and maintenance manual provided, and hence the instructions contained
within, in particular:
-
how to use the diving vehicle, with details regarding the diver’s correct
equipment configuration, the diver’s posture during use, the position that
must be maintained by the diving vehicle during the dive, and that the vehicle
must not be bound with systems hard to release to its user in any way
whatsoever.
-
the environmental conditions where use of the diving vehicle is especially
dangerous, such as deep-water dives, obstructed environments, muddy or
suspension-filled environments; the special precautions to be adopted when
dives are effected in such environments and the need of having undergone
suitable training held by qualified agencies;
-
dangerous behaviour that is to be avoided such as, for example, use of the
diving vehicle to accelerate the descent or ascent rate;
•
it is therefore assumed that the user has been fully informed on how to use and
maintain the product as well as of its technical characteristics, and that he shall
scrupulously abide by these rules.
•
It hence follows that any damage to persons or objects, deriving from incorrect
maintenance of the diving vehicle or from its use other than as stipulated by this
manual or without the precautions described within, cannot be attributed to defects
of the product.
The company Halcyon is not liable for losses or damages suffered by third persons
consequent to the use of this diving vehicle.
The HDV is not a toy, nor a suitable rescue means.
It’s exclusive function is to help
expert divers in immersions to cover greater distances than could be normally covered
with fins only. The HDV and its components, specifically the battery and battery charger,
are intended for adult and expert use after carefully reading these instructions.
