ORRECT USE
(
SEE FIG
.
1)
Check the preliminary operations. Proceed as follows to start the ADV:
Always make sure the switch (6) is in the off position, submerge the ADV under water and
make sure nothing is caught between the propeller blades. If something is found between
the propeller blades, remove the ADV from the water and free the propeller blades of the
foreign object.
Be extremely carefully since using hands or other parts of the body
between the propeller blades is potentially hazardous, even if a safety clutch is
installed between the propeller and engine. For this reason, avoid introducing your
hands in the propeller area and, if necessary for cleaning purposes or to remove
foreign objects, use or stick or other suitable tool.
Turn the switch (6) (see fig. 1) fully clockwise without forcing it.
Grasp the two ADV handles (1) (fig. 1) or, if using the tow cord, hook the carabineer to the
tow sling.
Press the trigger (2) until the engine starts.
To stop the engine, let go of the trigger (2).
To change propeller rpm, use the knob (7), rotate it clockwise to drive the ADV slowly,
rotate it counter-clockwise to drive the ADV faster. This latter operation can be conducted
at any time, even underwater.
When finished use, turn the switch (6) counter-clockwise to turn off the ADV.
IF YOU DO NOT USE THE TOW CORD, DO NOT DRIVE THE ADV SINGLE-HANDED.
YOU MAY RISK LOSING CONTROL.
WARNING: when you press the trigger, the propeller starts to rotate and the ADV
starts to move.
6 B
ATTERY DEPLETED ALARM SIREN DEVICE
The ADV is equipped with an alarm siren system (continuous siren), easy to hear in both
immersion and emersion, which automatically sounds when a set voltage, considered the
minimum for ADV use, is reached, without further or inappropriately using the battery.
This alarm is always triggered, whether the ADV is in use or accidentally left “ON”.
When the siren sounds, the ADV may continue to run for several minutes. This amount of
time varies and depends on several factors such as the power used and battery wear
conditions. After this period, the battery cut-off will trigger, turning off the ADV. (see CUT
OFF paragraph)
Note: the sole purpose of the battery depleted signal is warn the diver that the
battery is low. SUEX is not liable for the failed operation or erroneous evaluation of
residual battery charge which led to the incorrect assessment of ADV autonomy.
The system is based on battery voltage readings that cannot fully guarantee
residual battery charge calculations. The indication highly depends on battery
wear.
