SING THE
ADV
DIVING VEHICLE
Underwater diving is a potentially dangerous activity and incorrect use of the ADV further
increases the hazards of the dive itself.
Before use, make sure the battery is charged, that connectors are connected and that no
electrical parts are rusted. Check that the head cap is closed properly, check its condition,
especially following accidental bumps, or accidental scratches, and make sure that the
trigger and main switch are functioning correctly. At this point the ADV is ready for use.
After entering the water, the main switch must be switched on by rotating it.
The main switch must be turned to running mode only when the ADV is in
water. Rotating the propeller out of the water may be dangerous and
damage the seal of the motor shaft.
Once in the water, the propeller is activated by pulling the trigger
incorporated on the right manoeuvring handle towards you. Releasing the trigger will stop
propeller rotation.
Speed can be regulated slow or fast, see the previous paragraph fig. 7.

NTERING THE WATER WITH THE
ADV
Entering the water is one of the most delicate moments in the dive.
Various factors like the change in temperature, use of a respirator, the
weight of the equipment and other difficulties make the addition of the
ADV an inevitable added burden.
Before turning on or using the ADV, make sure that all the equipment
you use for the dive is correctly positioned and in good working order. Only use the ADV
after completing these checks. Incorrect dive preparation is highly dangerous and, in some
situations, the ADV may represent an additional hazard.
Pay particular attention when entering choppy water since waves could lift and launch the
ADV against you with even fatal consequences.
11 E
XITING THE WATER WITH THE
ADV
Exiting the water is another delicate moment in the dive and, here too,
the addition of the ADV could be an extra burden.
According to where you started the dive, always make sure the ADV is
the last piece of equipment to recovery. Always put your safety first.
