OWNER'S GUIDE
NOTE: To release each latching
buckle, it will be necessary to hold
the safety lock depressed, using your
thumb (Fig. 4).
BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE
Fore Shell Removal
1.
If the fore shell has not been removed, stand the vehicle upright on its
shroud in a clean, dust free area, with the carrying handle of the fore
shell facing up (Fig. 4)
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. If the vehicle is wet, be
certain to wipe completely dry before opening - particu-
larly around the area of the housing seals and latching
mechanisms.
2.
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.
3.
Using firm, steady force, lift the fore shell straight up and off the main
housing, while holding the main housing secure if necessary. DO NOT
use impact or rock the fore shell back and forth to loosen from the
main housing.
4.
Place the fore shell on a clean, flat surface where it is not in danger of
falling over, standing vertically on its rubber bezel.
CAUTION: DO NOT place the fore shell on its side or
standing on its open end, which contains a delicate
seating surface for the main seal o-ring. Contamination
of or damage to this sealing surface will allow water to
enter the unit, which may cause irreparable damage to
the electric motor and other components.
5.
Examine the internal cavities of the fore shell and main housing to
ensure that they are perfectly dry, and there is no evidence that mois-
ture has entered the vehicle.
WARNING: If there is any evidence that moisture has
entered the vehicle, DO NOT attempt to reassemble or
operate it. Instead, take it directly to your nearest
Authorized Oceanic Dealer as soon as possible. DO NOT
store the vehicle reassembled until the unit has received
a factory authorized inspection and service.
6.
Determine what the voltage supply is for the electrical outlet you will
be using to charge the unit (either 110 or 220 volts), and set the volt-
age switch of the charging unit to the appropriate setting.
CAUTION: Failure to properly set the voltage setting of
the charger to match the voltage of the electrical supply
will result in serious damage to the charger, and possibly
to the batteries as well.
