WARNING!
Mechanical hazard from rotating components!
This can result in severe physical injuries or death.
■
Do not wear jewellery or loose clothing in the vicinity of the drive shaft or
the propeller. Tie up long, loose hair.
■
Switch off the DEEP BLUE system when there are people in the immediate
vicinity of the drive shaft or the propeller.
■
Do not carry out maintenance or cleaning work on the drive shaft or pro-
peller if the DEEP BLUE system is engaged.
■
Operate the propeller only when it is under water.
WARNING!
Danger to life from a boat which is not manoeuvrable!
This can result in severe physical injuries or death.
■
Before starting a trip, inform yourself of the intended travel area, and take
note of the predicted weather and water conditions.
■
Depending on the size of the boat, keep the typical safety equipment ready
(anchor, paddles, means of communication, auxiliary drive if necessary).
■
Check the system for mechanical damage before setting out on a trip.
■
Do not use the system unless it is in proper working order.
WARNING!
Danger to life from overestimating the remaining range.
This can result in severe physical injuries or death.
■
Before starting a trip, make yourself familiar with the travel area, because the
range displayed on the onboard computer does not take wind, current, and
direction of travel into account.
■
Build in a sufficient buffer for the necessary range.
WARNING!
Danger of injury from propeller!
Moderate or severe physical injuries may result.
■
When working on the propeller, always switch the system off at the main
switch.

Moderate or severe physical injuries may result.
■
Keep away from the propeller.
■
Comply with the safety provisions.
■
Beware of people in the water.
CAUTION!
Damage to the high-voltage battery from stepping on or placing objects on
it!
This can result in malfunctioning or material damage.
■
Never step on the high-voltage battery.
■
Never use the high-voltage battery as a support surface or lean on it.
■
Do not place any objects on the high-voltage battery.
CAUTION!
Danger of crushing if motor tilts.
