In the event of flooding, the scooter will start to tilt downward and thus sinks.
In the event of total flooding, the situation could become POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS since the SCOOTER becomes negative and will start to SINK,
DRAGGING THE DIVER DOWN and therefore the scooter MUST BE IMMEDIATELY
ABANDONED.
20.2. EXITING THE WATER WITH THE SCOOTER
Exiting the water is another delicate moment in the dive and, in this case too, the addition of the SCOOTER could be
an extra task loading.
Depending where the dive started, always make sure the SCOOTER is the last
piece of equipment to recovery. Always put diver own safety first.
Pay particular attention when exiting rough sea since waves could lift and launch
the SCOOTER against the diver with even fatal consequences.
HEALTH PROTECTION - LEAD
In spite the contact whit the ballast elements is rare and therefore minimal the
exposure of humans and environment, the ballast elements contain metallic Lead
(inorganic).

SAFETY DEVICES AND SYSTEM ON BOARD
In order to provide the highest safety condition to the user SCOOTER includes technical solutions and devices
designed to eliminate or minimize the risks during the usage.
21.1. TORQUE LIMITING DEVICE AT THE PROPELLER
A torque-limiting device is installed between the motor and the propeller. When the resistance felt by the propeller
exceeds a certain torque, this device is triggered, preventing the propeller from rotating.
The device will generate a rhythmic sound signalling its insertion.
If this situation occurs:
- release the trigger immediately,
- switch off the power by means of the main switch (OFF)
- free the propeller of the foreign body.
Do not keep the torque limiter that is designed for use in an emergency and keep
running for longer than 10 seconds could cause damage.
NOTE: It is allowed to extract the foreign body from the propeller during the dive,
ONLY IF the conditions of use allow it and in total safety: if not, leave the
SCOOTER.
