• 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.
Stay away from the immediate shore, and never attempt to steer the SEABOB
onto the beach, shore or onto land of any kind. Be very careful of rocky bottoms,
reefs and stones.
• The operating time of the SEABOB is limited. For this reason, you should always
keep an eye on the display showing the remaining operating time, and return to
the shore or accompanying boat in time.
• When the accumulator is discharged to approx. one third of its charge state, the
maximum power is automatically reduced incrementally (80 %, 70 %, 60 % etc.)
to prolong accumulator cell life. The device begins using the emergency reserve
of the accumulator box after the warning symbol appears on the upper left-hand
side of the display, the accumulator symbol starts flashing and the remaining
operating time is shown as "0:00". The estimated remaining operating time in
emergency mode is approx. 5 minutes, with a continual reduction in power until
the motor has stopped. Always take into account the limited power when timing
your return to the shore or boat.
• 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.
