• To brake, hold on to both SEABOB Controlgrips securely, and release the
Trigger in your right hand. The motor will stop, and the resistance of the
water will slow you down. Be aware that it can take around 2-3 m for you
to come to a complete stop if you are travelling at full speed. You can re-
duce the distance it takes you to come to a complete stop by turning the
SEABOB sharply to the side and straightening up without letting go of the craft.
This helps you to maintain control of the SEABOB and increases the water re-
sistance considerably, so that you can come to a complete stop as quickly as
possible.
• If the SEABOB is released while travelling at full speed, the craft may continue
moving up to approx. 3 m and may briefly dive under the water to a depth of up
to approx. 2 m. When this occurs, there is the risk that persons may be injured
and foreign objects may be damaged. Also the SEABOB may be damaged, par-
ticularly if the water is too shallow and the craft hits the bottom.
• Do not use the SEABOB in areas occupied by swimmers or divers. Danger of
collision and injury! If crossing such areas is absolutely unavoidable, do so on the
water surface at a maximum power of Power Level 1.
• To prevent collisions, always maintain a safe distance (minimum 5 m) to other
swimmers, watercraft or any objects that may be in the water. A collision may
result in serious injury to you and other people. In particular, long hair or pieces
of clothing of other people can get sucked into the jet channel. Should this occur,
there is a risk of injury. In addition, the SEABOB may also be damaged consider-
ably.
• Always avoid routes travelled by watercraft. The SEABOB housing is made of
plastic and, for physical reasons, is unable to reflect radar waves adequately.
Take into account the speed at which other watercraft are approaching. Another
SEABOB may also approach quickly or appear suddenly. Keep an eye on what is
happening farther up ahead. Beware of collisions!
• The SEABOB is not equipped with lights and, for this reason, is not suitable for
operation at night. Do not operate the craft after sunset or before sunrise. Doing
so can lead to collisions with other watercraft or obstacles.
• Do not operate the craft in water that is less than 1 m deep. Doing so can cause
injury to you or damage to the SEABOB as a result of hitting underwater objects.
Be very careful of 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!
• Stay away from aquatic plants and floating objects such as pieces of string, rope,
plastic or wood to prevent the motor, impeller, stator and jet channel from being
damaged or their function inhibited. Prevent sand or stones from getting into the
jet channel. Sand or stones in the jet channel may damage the device.
• The operating time of the SEABOB is limited. Return to the shore or accompany-
ing boat in time.
• When the accumulator is discharged to approx. one third of its charge state, the
motor‘s electronic control system reduces the maximum power incrementally
(Power Level 5, Power Level 4 etc.). This is done to prolong accumulator cell life
as the voltage decreases, while ensuring that there is sufficient reserve capacity
for emergency mode. The two red bars on the accumulator symbol indicate the
start of the emergeny reserve for the SEABOB.
In emergency mode, the power
is gradually reduced automatically until the motor comes to a complete stop.
Always take into account the limited power when timing your return to the shore
or boat.
• You must always be able to return to the shore or boat unassisted and without
the aid of the SEABOB.
• In most instances, the general personal liability insurance of the user does not
cover property damage caused by the use of SEABOB. Before using the SEABOB
you are encouraged to contact your insurance provider for information on a suit-
able insurance policy for coverage in cases involving damage.
