13. Maintenance and care
Rinse the scooter with fresh water after every dive, especially after using it in salt water or brackish water. The
outside of the scooter can be cleaned with mild soapy water. A toothbrush can also be used to get into
inaccessible places. After being used several times the aluminium housing should be sprayed with a thin viscous
silicone spray. This closes the fine pores and protects against dirt and corrosion.
After use in salt water, the propeller should be removed. While watching from shroud side (rear) remove the
propeller. The slide ring sealing behind the propeller is thoroughly rinsed with fresh water. Rinse the propeller and
drive shaft with fresh water and spray with silicone spray. Take care when mounting the propeller to the
congruence with the shear pin and the groove! After correct installation, the drive shaft concludes with the propeller
in the back.
For saltwater use, the slide ring sealing should be taken monthly and the O-ring hould be lubricated.
Caution: Do not scratch the sealing surfaces!
