6. Care
Repairs and maintenance work on the SEABOB
and accumulator box that go beyond the proce-
dures described in this chapter may only be carried out by
an authorised technician. Work of this type is dangerous
and may result in severe injury or cause damage to the
SEABOB and accumulator box if not carried out by an
authorised technician.
Never alter or modify any part of the SEABOB, ac-
cumulator box or charger. Doing so may result in
serious injury or death.
Note: Be aware that components such as accumulators,
seals, impeller blades and stator are wearing parts. Signs
of wear and use may also appear on the housing, surface
finish, display screen, etc.
No special maintenance is required if you adhere to the
instructions for care specified below. Aside from regu-
lar cleaning and care, you only have to replace wearing
parts when necessary. Nevertheless, we recommend that
you have the SEABOB checked after approx. 3,000 hours
of motor operation to ensure that all parts are working
properly (for example, the motor sealing case). To have
the SEABOB checked, please contact the manufacturer or
your specialist dealer.
To care for your SEABOB, regularly perform the fol-
lowing:
6.1 Cleaning the SEABOB, accumulator
box and charger
1. After using the device, first remove salt deposits, dirt
or other foreign objects by rinsing the components
with fresh water (from a low-pressure source such as
a garden hose or watering can) and / or blowing them
out with air from a low-pressure hose.
2. Clean the SEABOB using a soft, clean cloth. If neces-
sary, you can also use a mild cleaning agent designed
for plastic surfaces that will not damage the finish.
Aggressive cleaning agents such as aerosol sprays,
petroleum-based substances, acetone and alcohol
as well as sharp objects may damage the SEABOB. Avoid
scratching the display screen while cleaning the device.
This polycarbonate screen is used, among other things, as
a UV filter and is coated to prevent scratching. Even so,
particularly sand may leave permanent scratches on the
screen if rubbed against the screen.
3. Check the sealing surfaces of the charging socket and
sealing cap. In particular, look for any sand or salt de-
posits that may be present. Immediately remove any
sand or salt deposits, being particularly careful when
doing so. No current is flowing to the charging socket.
Rinse off the hermetically sealed charging socket and
the sealing cap with fresh water (for example, using
a garden hose). Avoid leaving any scratches or salt
deposits on the sealing surfaces or contact surfaces.
Clean and dry off sealing / contact surfaces by blow-
ing them out or using a soft cloth and / or cotton
swab.
4. The charging socket must be perfectly clean and dry
before charging can begin.
5. Always ensure that the seals and sealing surfaces are
clean and not damaged in any way.
Ensure that there are no dried salt deposits on
the charging plug or the contacts of the charging
socket. Salt deposits inhibit the flow of electricity during
charging and can cause electrical contacts to overheat,
resulting in irreparable damage to the contacts or even
fires affecting the contacts or cable.
