If you need to adjust the trim of the scooter so than the nose is higher, move the battery pack
closer to the motor in small (5mm/1/4') increments, until the scooter is to your desired trim.
Do not place any loose trim weights or other loose object in the tail end of the scooter. Doing
so may cause an electrical failure, or mechanical motor failure if any object makes it's way
into the motor (which is not sealed).
TRIMMING FOR SALT WATER:
The scooter is set up for fresh water from the factory. (you will have to make minor
adjustments to trim the scooter perfectly).
For salt water diving, you will need to add 1 to 1.75 pounds depending on the scooter and
your preference. We recommend a slightly positive scooter on the surface. Horizontal or
preferably with 5% nose up angle.
There are 2 ways to distribute the salt water trim weight.
First is adding approx ½ of the trim weight to the pocket inside the nose cone (under the
steel plate) and ½ attached to the threaded rods near the motor. This method allows you to
keep the battery pack position fixed between fresh and salt.
This method is recommended if
you switch between fresh and salt water diving.
Be vigilant that added trim weights at the motor end are secure. Loose weights could
damage the motor or motor controller.
The second method is to place all the trim weight in the nose, and adjust the battery pack to
be closer to the motor approx 1 inch.
This method is recommended if you will only use in salt
water.
If the scooter is nose down but neutral buoyancy, adjust battery pack towards the
motor. If it is too nose up angle, adjust battery pack towards the nose. Maximum 450mm!
Always double measurements at 4 points around the scooter battery pack. Failure to
have equal adjustments at each threaded rod may result in the failure of the seals.
