Initial Battery Installation
NOTE: All vehicles are delivered to
the Authorized Oceanic Dealer with
their batteries packaged separately.
The batteries must be properly
charged and installed according to the
following procedures before their first
use.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to save the original shipping carton, to
use for transporting the Mako to your Authorized Oceanic
Dealer or Oceanic Customer Service department whenever
service may be required in the future.
1.
To remove the vehicle from its packaging, remove the top piece of
protective foam and set aside. Grasp the vehicle by the carrying handle
at the end of the fore shell and lift the vehicle straight up and out of
the carton. Set down gently on the propellor shroud. DO NOT at-
tempt to drop it out of the carton, or lift the carton off and away from
the vehicle.
2.
To remove the fore shell from the main housing, stand the vehicle
upright on its shroud in a clean, dust free area, with the rubber bezel
and carrying handle facing up.
3.
Release two of the four latching buckles which are opposite of each
other first, and then release the other two. Each pair should be opened
simultaneously to relieve pressure equally on both sides of the shell.
CAUTION: DO NOT open the vehicle in an environment
where sand, moisture, or salt air may be present. Doing
so may cause serious damage to the o-ring seals, electric
motor, and other components.

NOTE: To release each latching
buckle, it will be necessary to hold the
safety lock depressed, using your
thumb (Fig. 2).
