WARNING
●
Do not carry the scooter with one
hand when using saddle to transport
vehicle on land.
●
Verify that prop cover stay is firmly
in place and single hand unit properly
installed before attempting to
lift vehicle by handle bar.
CAUTION
●
Battery duration may vary depending on how it has been stored or used. Do not use a battery that is old or
damaged on outside , as its power could suddenly drop, or it could have an extremely short running time.
Knobs
Grasp saddle handles with
both hands and lift vehicle
to carry on land.
Hands-free riding is a new riding style in which the diver uses one's body instead of one's hands to steer
the scooter.
This frees up the diver's hands. Different from past scooters that were steered using both hands, the diver steers
the scooter using one's entire body. This greatly reduces the amount of physical strain put on the diver.
It allows for "long-distance travel" and "extended diving time", enabling the diver to explore greater distances and
diving environments that may have been impossible in the past.
There are great benefits to being able to drive hands-free.
Scooters that need to be steered by hand end up becoming like a piece of baggage itself underwater.
Divers who thought, "Using a scooter keeps me from being able to carry anything else underwater", will now be free
to take what ever they want on their dive.
Because different items of underwater equipment can be attached to the scooter using the wing arms, the carrying
capabilities are vastly improved.
●
Long-distance travel is made possible.
The SAV-7 EVO2 can travel underwater distances of around 7,200 meters when a Li-ion battery is used.
Since it takes over 110min to cover 7,200 meters when traveling nonstop, a diver can easily travel continuously
over the time span of a regular single dive. For leisure diving, in which the diver uses the scooter only to travel
between certain diving spots, it can easily run for two dives.
●
Handle
The Grips on either side of your scooter can be used for take off,
stopping and turns. The Grips should NOT be used for carrying the
scooter on land. To carry vehicle on land, grasp both saddle handles
or with one hand grasp handle bar of Single Hand Unit (see below).
●
Saddle
To minimize underwater resistance and to allow for effortless under-
water maneuvering, the scooter is designed to be steered
hands-free. In doing so, the saddle helps to hold the diver in place,
and allows the diver to steer the scooter freely. Even relatively sharp
turns are made possible when riding hands free.
●
Accelerator lever
The accelerator lever functions are same way as the gas pedal on
an automobile.
The revolution speed goes up when pushed up, and goes down
as the lever returns to its original position.
●
Wing arms
Wing arms are used on the scooter for triple (refer to page 28)
(three-person) rides.
The grips are used to pull the two guest divers. By attaching a
karabiner onto the hole in the wing arms, they can also be used
to carry underwater equipment.
→
To loosen the knobs, the wing arms are pulled out.

WARNING
●
In the case of dry suit diving, please pay attention of air volume in the suits.
It is possible to blow the air from the suit or sudden surfacing.
Please put the air in the suit shorter than usual for diving with the scooter.
Grip the scooter between your knees
Remove the scooter Once the feet touch the ground
Hold the scooter with your hand Push accelerator lever down
The diver positions the scooter between the legs so the scooters propeller shaft and the axis of the diver's body are
lined up.
As the scooter moves forward, the body will naturally be pushed from behind.
The diver does not need to grip or force oneself to sit on the scooter.
Just wait as the scooter will naturally push the body.
①
Stop the propeller by lowering the accelerator lever.
②
Using the same hand that moved the accelerator lever, take hold of the grip on the saddle unit.
Hold the scooter with your hand and also grip it between your knees.
③
After the scooter stops, and while maintaining left
and right balance, allow the weight of the scooter
to move the body to an upright position.
Land on the ground in a standing position.
The point to be cautious of when stopping is adjusting your balance when there is no longer any forward-moving
force. Without momentum, the diver's body will become unsteady. You must adjust and attain your balance. If there
is no place to land, you may need to adjust your buoyancy.
Good posture:
Pushed by the scooter.
Bad posture:
The diver and the scooter will not be able to move as one,
which will throw the diver off balance and prevent a
smooth takeoff.
