WRONG WAYS TO CONNECT THE SCOOTER TO THE DIVER
These include cords with knots, chains and elastic cords, to name a few, that do not
allow the SCOOTER to be immediately abandoned in the event of emergency! They are
forbidden and to be considered potentially dangerous!
9.
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
The following operations must be carried out after a complete and careful reading of the instruction manual by
adequately trained personnel.
Upon receipt of the SCOOTER after checking the integrity of the packaging and the contents of the package:
Check that the SCOOTER is hermetically sealed: that there are no spaces between the various components;
Proceed with charging the battery (see chapter "Battery");
Insert the sea ballast in the case of immersion in salt water (see chapter: "Setting up the SCOOTER during
immersion").
9.1. SCOOTER START UP
Once the above mentioned preliminary operations are carried out;
Submerge the SCOOTER
Verify that the propeller is free from any obstructions;
Turn the main switch to the ON position (6 - Fig.1);
Hold the SCOOTER (by the handle (1));
Press the trigger (2), the SCOOTER starts to move;
Releasing the trigger, the SCOOTER stops;
The dive begins.

BATTERY
For more details, see the user manual relating to the battery which is an integral part of this document.
10.1. OPENING THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT
Put the SCOOTER in vertical position on the shroud (5) on a flat surface.
Turn the front fastening knob (9) counter-clockwise. When rotating the knob the nosecone (8) (see fig. 1) starts to
lift. Continue rotating the knob until the nosecone detaches from the body.
10.2. EXTRACTING THE BATTERY
Once the cover has been removed, disconnect the red connectors (15 - Fig. 2) (avoid pulling the cables), unscrew
the white ring nut (11) and loosen the eccentric clamp (12) by levering upwards. Remove the battery (14) by lifting it
slightly and sliding it out to the side, being careful not to pull the connector cables.
Correct equipment configuration is a key factor for the safe diving in general and it
becomes vital when diving with the SCOOTER. As a rule, the type and position of the
diving equipment should guarantee perfect streamlining and no elements should
protrude or be left dangling.
