5.5.1 How to navigate your SEABOB
Hold on to the two Controlgrips on the SEABOB
securely. The force of acceleration can be very
high, especially when starting. In order to fully utilise the
performance potential of the SEABOB, the use of the op-
tionally available pilot belt system is recommended. This
ensures comfortable driving, even at high power. Before
using the pilot belt system, it is important that you read
the "Information Sheet for Pilot Belt System".
1. Lie down on the SEABOB facing forward. Stretch your
arms out completely, and grab on to the Controlgrips
firmly.
2. Use the green and red buttons to select the desired
Power Level. To increase the Power Level, tap the
green button (repeatedly). To decrease the Power
Level, tap the red button (repeatedly).
3. To start, set the power to Power Level 1 (lowest gear).
Push the Trigger against the Controlgrip, and hold it
there. The motor starts, and the SEABOB begins mov-
ing.
Always start in the lowest gear and move off from
a stationary position with a maximum power of
Power Level 1. Gradually increase the power while oper-
ating the craft so that you can familiarise yourself with
the handling of the SEABOB. It is vital that you are in
control of the SEABOB at all times. Risk of collision and
injury!
4. If you want to go faster, use your right thumb to tap
the green button on the right Controlgrip. You can
also perform this operation while the craft is moving.
The power increases by one Power Level with every
tap of the button (maximum power: Power Level 6).
5. If you want to go more slowly, use your left thumb
to tap the red button on the left Controlgrip. You can
also perform this operation while the craft is moving.
The power decreases by one Power Level with every
tap of the button.
Note: A minimum power of Power Level 1 is required
to start moving from a complete stop or to keep moving
during operation.
6. The power can also be adjusted while operating the
craft. Operation can be interrupted by releasing the
Trigger temporarily.
Note:
If the Trigger is not activated within 10 seconds
while operation is interrupted, the current Power Level
defaults back to Power Level 1 for safety reasons.
7. To turn, shift your weight in the direction you want
to go, while pulling the bow of the craft in the same
direction. Lean into the curve, just as you would on a
bicycle or motorcycle. The lower part of your body, in
particular your legs, act as a tail fin. While turning the
craft, hold on to the Controlgrips tightly, so that you
do not slide off the SEABOB.

5.5 Operation on the water surface
Both before and during operation, observe
the safety information given in Chapter 1 as
well as those listed below:
• Only use the SEABOB in sheltered waters and when
accompanied by others or under the constant super-
vision of another person who can provide immediate
assistance in case of emergency. Arrange to have a
boat accompany you if you wish to operate the craft
farther away from shore.
• Do not operate the SEABOB in strong currents, a
heavy swell, strong wind or impaired visibility.
• Only operate the craft when it is light out and the
weather is good. Always check the weather forecast
before you set out, and pay close attention to local
weather conditions.
• Maintain a safe distance (minimum 5 m) to other per-
sons, watercrafts and obstacles. Danger of collision
and injury!
• The water must be at least 1 m deep. Operating the
craft in water that is less than 1 m deep may cause
injury to you or damage to the SEABOB as a result
of hitting underwater objects (particularly if there
are rocky bottoms, reefs and stones). Stay away from
the immediate shore, and never attempt to steer the
SEABOB onto the beach, shore or onto land of any
kind. If the SEABOB comes into contact with the sea
bed, it may, as a result of the very high suction power
of the jet drive, become attached to the ground and
jerk to a halt. Risk of collision and injury!
• Make sure that there are no aquatic plants or floating
objects in the water that could get into the jet channel
and damage or jam the motor or impeller.
Pushing the Trigger against the Controlgrip
7. After a successful function check, tap the red button
on the left Controlgrip once, until the power is dis-
played as "0 %" again.
8. Lift the SEABOB by the carrying handles on each side,
and place it in water that is at least 1 m deep.
Only bring the SEABOB into the water when the
power is displayed as "0 %" to prevent activation
of the motor by pushing the Trigger inadvertently.
Never carry the SEABOB by the Controlgrips, front
bumper or display panel but only by the carrying
handles on each side.
9. The SEABOB is now ready for operation.
If you are launching the SEABOB from a boat,
always have another person help you put the
SEABOB in the water and take it out (in particular, in
waves). Ensure that no one is under the SEABOB. Danger
of injury!
