If at any time while riding there is a loss of power, remain calm and move from the prone to seated position on the board to improve your
visibility on the water. Look around you to ensure that you are in a safe place. If not, paddle to a safe place. Once safe and seated, open
the front hatch of the board and check the position of the battery power switch. This switch also serves as the system breaker. Should
the system become over taxed, this switch will automatically flip to off to protect the system. Reset the breaker by opening and
reclosing. In some cases it may require a few minutes before it will reset. Once reset you will again hear the activation beeps and the
board should be ready to use. Proceed with caution and SLOWLY return to a safe location on shore. Once there, power down the system,
remove the battery and verify the pump is clear of obstruction. Once confirmed clear, with the battery still removed, remove the rear
hatch and manually turn the motor / shaft to ensure it turns freely.
Take care when accessing the front hatch to prevent water entry
Always remove the battery prior to opening the rear hatch
If at any time during operation there is a noise or reduction of power that seems out of place, reduce power and return to the nearest safe
shore location.
When in doubt power the board off and wait 10 seconds, power it back on and proceed slowly to shore if possible until the problem has been
diagnosed.
In all cases, ensure that the problem is diagnosed and resolved before continuing to use your Kymera.
Kymeras are high-performance watercraft and place high demands on all components. Malfunctioning components can result in
permanent and expensive damage to the board if it is continued to be operated!
If all actions relating to the observed symptoms have been taken and the problem is still not resolved, please contact Wavez on
or call 13000 WAVEZ or +61 2 8006 8261.
