WARNING!
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS
AND INFORMATION. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT IT IS CAREFULLY AND
FULLY READ BEFORE USING THE UNDERWATER SCOOTER!
Observance of the instructions contained in this manual will allow you to carry out use,
transport and maintenance operations safely, while guaranteeing optimal scooter
operation and reduced running costs. The company Suex s.r.l. is not liable for damage
resulting from negligence on behalf of the user or from failure to observe these
instructions
.
The manufacturer, SUEX s.r.l., declares that:
The XK 1 Advanced Diving Vehicle (henceforth called “ADV”) shall be delivered to
the buyer in perfect working condition, complete with its use and maintenance
manual;
any person attempting to use the ADV shall be deemed to have undergone specific
training in the use of similar diving scooters and to have obtained the necessary
certification issued by a qualified agency;
any person attempting to use the ADV shall be deemed to have read the use and
maintenance manual provided, and hence the instructions contained within, in
particular:
how to use the ADV, with details regarding the diver’s correct equipment
configuration, the diver’s posture during use, the position that must be maintained
by the ADV during the dive, and that the ADV must not be bound with systems
hard to release to its user in any way whatsoever.
the environmental conditions where use of the ADV is especially dangerous, such
as deep-water dives, obstructed/overhead environments, muddy or suspension-
filled environments; the special precautions to be adopted when dives are effected
in such environments and the need of having undergone suitable training held by
qualified agencies;
dangerous behaviour that is to be avoided such as, for example, use of the ADV to
accelerate the descent or ascent rate;
it is therefore assumed that the user has been fully informed on how to use and
maintain the product as well as of its technical characteristics, and that he shall
scrupulously abide by these rules.
It hence follows that any damage to persons or objects, deriving from incorrect
maintenance of the ADV or from its use other than as stipulated by this manual or
without the precautions described within, cannot be attributed to defects of the
product.
