To change the weight for "fine balancing" the SeaOtter-2. Remove the small thumb screw holding the
skid cone on, and remove the cone. Inside the skid is a plastic snap ring that holds the weights that
are already in place. If it is necessary to reduce the weight, pull out the plastic snap ring and remove
some of the internal weights. If additional weight is necessary, slide one of the fine trim weights into
each end of each skid. Be sure to install the cones back into the skids to observe the total effect of
the added weight. Any type of weight may be used to balance the SeaOtter-2.
When the SeaOtter-2 is properly balanced, a slight downward push in the center area of the ROV
sends the unit down and it very slowly comes back to the surface. A few extra minutes performing this
procedure will insure impressive trouble-free flying.
It is recommended that before going into open water with the ROV, that several hours be spent at a
local pool or at a body of water that has good visibility, so that you can watch the ROV while you work
the joysticks.
If you have problems or questions at any time please fax, call, or email the factory

Launching and retrieving the SeaOtter-2
The SeaOtter-2 is a rugged piece of equipment, however, it should be treated with care. Use the
handle, not the motors or lights, to lift or lower the SeaOtter-2. Never try to lift or lower the unit by holding
it by the umbilical cord, this may result in damage to the signal or power cable. For safety reasons,
insure that all electrical connections are not exposed to water and that the control box is plugged into
a ground fault outlet.
