Or using your imagination ...  

 

 

 

Prepare 

 

Adult supervision is required!  Never allow under-age riders to operate your Kymera! 
 

 

Ensure you have checked your board thoroughly, especially the electronics housing thumb screws and verified there is no water in the 
electronics housing, and read 

this whole User’s Manual before proceeding

 

 

Always comply with all local rules and regulations relating to vessel registration, operator licensing, speed limits, exclusion zones and 
anything else which may apply 

 

1.

 

Carry/wheel the board an

d battery to the water’s edge and place on stands (if available)

 

 

 

Never carry the board using the right handle, as you may bend and damage the trigger inadvertantly. 
 

 

Whenever possible use stands or other means to prevent the board from resting directly on the ground.  This will reduce the chance of 
debris entering the pump and/or hull. 

 

2.

 

Put anything you’d like to keep dry into the glove box.  We recommend that you put the carry strap in there now.

 

 

3.

 

Ensure the battery is CLEAN and install it.  Once the battery is fully seated and locked into place, verify the battery is turned OFF (the lever 
is pointing forwards) and plug it in. 

 

 

The battery should always be kept CLEAN.  DO NOT put the battery on the ground or on the sand.  Debris transferred into the interior of 
the board, especially sand, can foul the motor or drive shaft bearing requiring professional servicing. 
 

4.

 

Verify that the throttle trigger is in the OFF position (fully forward).  Sometimes when you lean over the board you may inadvertently pull 
the trigger. 

 

5.

 

Switch the battery to the ON position and the board will beep and the battery meter will light up. 

 

6.

 

Once the beeps stop, the board will take up to 10 more seconds to fully activate.  Do not pull the throttle trigger during this time or you 
may need to repeat the startup procedure to get the board to operate properly. 

 

 

Never leave your board in the water unattended 
 

 

Never leave your board anywhere unattended with the battery in the ON position 

Launch 

 

 

Adult supervision is required!  Never allow under-age riders to operate your Kymera! 
 

 

Always comply with all local rules and regulations relating to vessel registration, operator licensing, speed limits, exclusion zones and 
anything else which may apply 
 

 

Always ensure you always wear an approved life vest appropriate for the conditions and fully secured before entering the water. 
 

 

Never operate your Kymera under the influence of drugs or alcohol (or allow others to do the same)
