Practice turning the craft at low speeds until you are able
to control the SEABOB with ease.
Danger of collision and injury!
8. To stop, continue holding on to both Control Grips
securely, and release the Trigger in your right hand.
The motor will stop, and the resistance of the water
will quickly slow you down. Be aware that it can take
around 2-3 m / 6-10 ft for you to come to a complete
stop if you are travelling at full speed, depending on
your momentum and speed up to that point. You can
reduce the distance it takes you to come to a com-
plete stop by turning the SEABOB sharply to the side
and straightening up without letting go of the craft.
This helps you to maintain control of the SEABOB and
increases the water resistance considerably, so that
you can come to a complete stop as quickly as pos-
sible.
The SEABOB brakes by cutting off the power and allow-
ing the water resistance to slow the craft. It can take
around 2-3 m / 6-10 ft for you to come to a complete
stop, depending on the speed you are travelling. For this
reason, always maintain a safe distance (minimum 5 m /
17 ft) to other persons, watercrafts and obstacles.
Danger of collision and injury!
If the SEABOB is released while travelling at full speed,
the craft may continue moving up to approx. 3 m / 10 ft
and may briefly dive under the water to a depth of up to
approx. 2 m / 6 ft.
Risk of injury!
SEABOB may be damaged in shallow
water and / or other objects may be damaged.
Charge the SEABOB after each use (within 24 hours) to at
least the charge state "Air Transport / Storage" to avoid
irreparable total discharge of the Lithium-Ion batteries.
Always start in the lowest gear and move off from a sta-
tionary position with a maximum power of Power Level
1. Gradually increase the power while operating the craft
so that you can familiarize yourself with the handling
of the SEABOB. It is vital that you are in control of the
SEABOB at all times.
Risk of collision and injury!
4. If you want to go faster, use your right thumb to tap
the green button on the right Control Grip. You can
also perform this operation while the craft is moving.
The power increases by one Power Level with every
tap of the button (maximum power: Power Level 4).
5. If you want to go more slowly, use your left thumb to
tap the red button on the left Control Grip. You can
also perform this operation while the craft is moving.
The power decreases by one Power Level with every
tap of the button.
Tip:
A minimum power of Power Level 1 is required to
start moving from a complete stop or to keep moving
during operation.
6. The power can also be adjusted while operating the
craft. Operation can be interrupted by releasing the
Trigger temporarily.
Tip:
If the Trigger is not activated within 10 seconds
while operation is interrupted, the current Power Level
defaults back to Power Level 1 for safety reasons.
7. To turn, shift your weight in the direction you want
to go, while pulling the bow of the craft in the same
direction. Lean into the curve, just as you would on a
bicycle or motorcycle. The lower part of your body, in
particular your legs, act as a tail fin. While turning the
craft, hold on to the Control Grips tightly, so that you
do not slide off the SEABOB.
