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 (p. 14) 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.

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.
av-2 series 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 33)
(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.→
