the articulate wishbone into the last notch. This operation is usually required to use up the full power
of the speargun.
• The correct positioning of the wishbone in the notch of the spear must be carefully controlled and
followed by a slow release of the rubbers once loading has been completed.
Shooting the sling gun
• Now the sling gun is ready to be used, and as a final step, you must remove the safety catch that was
previously inserted in order to be able to pull the trigger. It is advisable to always use extreme caution
in using any underwater speargun as it is considered a weapon, for all intents and purposes.
ELEVEN IMPORTANT USEFUL RECOMMENDATIONS TO PREVENT RISK AND INJURY WHILE USING
THE SLING GUN
1) Follow national and local laws concerning the use and transport of underwater spear guns and
any relevant laws regarding minimum age limits for their use.
2) Do not load or attempt to load any underwater spear gun in a crowded place, or in the vicinity of
beaches, public coastlines, marinas etc.
3) Always load the underwater spear gun in water, ensuring that all other persons remain at a safe
distance.
4) Never, for any reason, aim the spear gun at any person or animal, even if the safety catch is
inserted.
5) Always consider the safety catch as an extra precaution and not a foolproof safety system.
6) Ensure the speargun is correctly positioned before beginning the loading operation.
7) Mark your presence in the water with internationally and locally recognized signal buoys.
8) Never shoot any speargun near other divers or swimmers.
9) Do not use the underwater spear gun if it shows signs of wear on essential components this
included shafts, slings, barbs, and the triggering mechanism. If in any doubt, do not use and
immediately contact an authorized SEAC service centre for maintenance and assistance.
10) Never use any underwater speargun out of the water; given its power, it could be seriously
damaged and potentially dangerous for people, animals and other objects.
11) Never, for any reason, transport or keep the spear gun loaded except when in use underwater.
ATTENTION
At the end of a day of fishing, we advise unloading the spear gun before returning to land.
To do this correctly, first insert the safety catch, and then hold the elastic band with both
hands just above the articulate wishbone, being very careful to release the wishbone from
the spear by accompanying the elastics to the muzzle.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE SLING GUN
In order to maintain your speargun efficiently, you must follow the precautions below:
1) Following each dive, including those in fresh water lakes or rivers, the speargun must be rinsed
outside with fresh running water. The use of de-mineralized water is recommended. Firstly,
ensure that all water residues that have entered during diving are removed from the triggering
mechanism. Finally, leave the speargun to dry without exposing it extensively to direct sunlight.
2) Periodically lubricate the triggering mechanism with silicone oil.
3) Never place the speargun near to sharp or heavy equipment that may cause damage to your
speargun, for example, weight belts, cylinders, knives etc.
4) Avoid contact with oils, solvents, or gasoline.
5) If you believe you will not be using the spear gun for more than a month, it is advisable to rinse every
part carefully and let it dry thoroughly in the shade. Keep it perfectly dry in a cool, aerated place.
6) At the end of a particularly intense season, or following a long period of inactivity, it is sound
practice to leave the spear gun with an authorized service centre for a complete inspection.
We recommend that you contact your local SEAC service centre to perform all maintenance in a
safe and efficient manner.
7) We also suggest periodic inspection for any wear to each of the component parts, pay particular
attention to the muzzles, slings, shafts, barbs, triggering mechanism, and relative pins.
