Carrying
Karabiners are useful.
Wing arm
The wing arms of the scooter are used to carry underwater equipment.
The diver opens both the left and right wing arms of the accelerator unit.
Karabiners attached to any equipment you want to carry are hooked onto the holes in the wing arms.
As a general rule, the underwater weight of equipment that is attached to the wing arms should be evenly
balanced between the left and right sides.
When it is not possible to distribute the weight evenly, it is best to attach the load that is slightly heavier onto the
right wing arm, since the rotation torque turns toward the left (counterclockwise) relative to the direction in which
the scooter is traveling.
The diver must take into consideration not only the underwater weight of an object being towed, but also the
underwater resistance.
When an object that causes great resistance is towed underwater and is attached to just one side of the scooter,
it could throw the scooter off balance when moving forward.
Those ways are just one of idea for riding the scooter.
We hope you create a new idea of riding the scooter.
There are more idea of riding way unlimitedly.

WARNING
● Equipment that could get caught in the propeller is not suitable for carrying.
● Practice keeping attached equipment as close as possible to the scooter body otherwise your ability to turn and
take off effectively may be reduced.
● The wing arms are designed to sustain underwater weight. Equipment that is able to be carried underwater
could damage the wing arms if it is brought on land while still attached. Therefore, remove the equipment from
the wing arms before bringing the scooter out of the water.
