Installing Your Batteries
To install your batteries into the DPV, first loosen the strap securing the cylinder and
remove the nose cone off the front of the scooter. Then insert your batteries one at a time
into the two battery clips located along the length of the scooter interior. Replace the
nose cone by pressing firmly on all sides until it locks into place, then finish the installation
by securing the strap over the top of the scooter. Try to install your batteries close to your
dive time, and never store your batteries inside your scooter, the small power draw of the
scooter will eventually drain the batteries and potentially damage them.
Using the Tow-Cord Attachment
It’s very important to use the tow cord while operating your DPV, as the scooter is designed to only be used in conjunction with one. The
tow-cord carries all the thrust of the scooter, allowing you to concentrate on steering and other activities. Simply adjust the sliding knot
on the long end of your tow cord rope to match the length of your reach, then fasten it to your gear. The tow-cord typically attaches to a
D-ring secured to the crotch area of your equipment. Some dive equipment has this attachment point built-in, in the form of a crotch
strap. If your diving gear does not feature this attachment point, make sure you obtain one before operating your scooter. You can find
one listed on our website or consider buying and using a climbing harness, similar to the one pictured below.
