GETTING STARTED
When you buy the sea scooter the battery is disconnected and needs to be charged. Follow the instructions on
page 9
– Battery Use, Charging the Battery – for charging and connection.
Using the Sea Scooter for Swimming and Snorkeling
When swimming or snorkeling the sea scooter should be kept positively buoyant
– this is done by simply making
sure the Buoyancy Chamber is empty and fitted inside the Nose Cone.
To use the sea scooter for swimming or snorkeling follow these instructions.
1.
Charge the battery
– see page 9 for instructions. Make sure that when you finish charging the battery the
Vent Plug is closed.
2.
Place the sea scooter into the water so the Handle, Outer Nose Cone and Nozzle fill with water.
3.
When ready to set off, switch the Master Switch to the ON position shown in Figure 2.
4.
Pull and hold one or both Triggers to start the Propeller.
5. To stop the Propeller, simply release the Trigger.
6. Always turn the Master Switch OFF when out of the water.
7.
Proper posture when using the sea scooter is important to achieve the maximum speed
– see Figure 3 for the
correct position of the sea scooter when using it.
CAUTION:
Do not dive deeper than
you would normally when snorkeling to
ensure you can get back to the surface
safely.
Use of Variable Speed
Your sea scooter features two speeds
– for normal speed, pull the right trigger only. For the higher speed, pull both
triggers together.
