The Bixpy Jet is a direct drive system and as such operates quietly and efficiently using
rechargeable lithium batteries. The thruster housing and all Bixpy Power Packs are fully sealed and
require minimal maintenance. Keep them clean and rinse or run them in fresh water after each use.
The Jets and Power Packs are happiest when kept clean and stored in cool, dry conditions.
The front of your Bixpy Thruster acts as a water cooling system for the electronics inside the
housing and the plastic “face” acts as a bumper for your thruster in case of impact. Do not
block the intakes and do not operate without the bumper.
Your thruster housing and Handheld Power Pack are rated to operate at a maximum depth of
30 meters (100 feet) below water. Bixpy will not warrant the product below this depth. Bixpy
connectors are NOT warranted when not mated properly and can let water into the thruster
housing when submersed.
The Bixpy Propeller is designed with a “cutting” mechanism at its base to break weed and
grass. Even so, eelgrass and other long and fibrous plants can make their way into the intake
and wrap around the propeller. Do not run the thruster if grass or weed is clogging your
propeller housing. This can overheat the thruster and in the long run can ruin your thruster
and/or Power Packs. Use forceps to remove grass or other debris from your propeller housing.
In extreme cases, you can open the outlet using a 3 millimeter Allen wrench and clean out your
propeller housing. In the rare event that you break your propeller, DO NOT run your thruster
with a broken propeller.
Your Jet uses some of the most advanced alloys to ensure maintenance free use in salt water.
Even so, we recommend rinsing or running your equipment in fresh water after use in salt
water to extend its life.
Your Bixpy Jet is made to run in water. It uses water as a coolant and to moderate propeller
speed. Running it in air can damage your thruster and/or Power Packs.
DO NOT RUN IN AIR.
