Step 3:
Install the last 4 nuts onto the 4 threaded rods. Finger tighten, until all 4 are secure. Re-
measure if necessary. Then, tighten using 2 tools, either side of the motor component. A 7/16”
ring type wrench is useful.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT TIGHTENING THE ROD INTO THE BATTERY PACK. The
threaded rod should not rotate when tightening these nuts. Doing so may damage plastic
threads and compromise battery pack integrity.
Tighten snugly, but be aware the threaded rods are aluminum which is much softer than steel.
Over tightening will strip the threads.
Check these nuts are secure every time before the scooter hull is installed pre-dive.
The purpose of the threaded rods, is to allow for adjustment of the battery pack in order to
adjust the trim of the scooter. Using these measurements, the scooter will be almost perfectly
balanced in fresh water.
