If the SCOOTER is used in fresh water, it is necessary to extract the ballast for salt water by unscrewing the knobs.
and extracting the ballast from the dedicated hole.
Always leave the knobs to the SCOOTER to avoid losing them.
Carefully store the salt water sinker when not in use.
Once you have chosen the configuration, for fresh or salt water, check its position by immersing the SCOOTER,
(make sure it is hermetically sealed).
The submerged SCOOTER must remain perfectly horizontal, otherwise, the battery must be moved along the support
rods: raising the battery if the bow tends to float, lowering it if the bow tends to sink. To do this, after removing the
battery (see instructions in the paragraph "Battery removal"), turn the adjustment screw (22A) by screwing it to lower
the position of the battery or, conversely, unscrewing it to raise the position of the battery. After hermetically sealing
the scooter, try setting it up again.
Entering the water is one of the most delicate moments in the dive. Various factors like the change in temperature,
use of scuba equipment, the weight of the equipment and other difficulties make the addition of the SCOOTER an
inevitable added task loading.

ENTERING THE WATER WITH THE SCOOTER
Before turning on or using the SCOOTER, make sure that all the equipment in use for
the dive is correctly positioned and in good working order. Only use the SCOOTER after
completing these checks. Incorrect dive preparation is highly dangerous and, in some
situations, the SCOOTER may represent an additional hazard.
Pay particular attention when entering rough sea since waves could lift and launch the
SCOOTER against the diver with even fatal consequences. Never activate the
SCOOTER until the diver is in the water and prepared to begin the dive.
AFTER entering the water and have submersed the SCOOTER, the main switch can be switched ON.
The SCOOTER must only be switched on when it is in the water: spinning the propeller
in the air can be dangerous and damage the hydraulic seal of the motor shaft.
Once into the water, pull the trigger (toward the diver) to activate the propeller. Releasing
the trigger stops the propeller.
