Maintenance of the equipMent
6.1. board Maintenance
• It is recommended to rinse the jet with fresh water after every use. When
using in extreme saline environments, it´s recommendable to ash the
entire intake area with fresh water. This way the user will get rid of all the
excessive salt in the shaft and impeller.
• Do not leave the battery connected. To disconnect is, it´s necessary to
take it out of the board. The battery powers the board from the moment
it´s inserted. Although the power consumption is very low, it is not
recommendable to leave it inside for long periods.
• Clean the stainless steel tube frequently. With every use, a small layer
of salt could build up over the surface. Given that the tube´s surface is in
charge of heat dissipation, it´s extremely important to have it clean for a
proper dissipation.
• It is not recommendable to place it upside down and never exposed to
direct sunlight over long periods of time.
• Periodically apply blue grease on the impeller and stator/nozzle.
• Periodically apply grease on the impeller, stator/nozzle and male and
female connectors.
• Between uses, always keep the discharge connectors clean.
• Do not impact the turbine or rest the board over it.
6.2. battery Maintenance
• It is crucial to handle the battery correctly while having it outside
of the board. In case of dropping it and due to its large weight, the
watertight seal could break. Do not use the battery if it has been dropped
and contact the support team immediately.
• In case of break, dint or any other form of apparent damage, do not
use the battery.
• It is recommendable to store the battery in a dry place and not exposed
to direct sunlight.
• Do not submerge the battery.
• Do not throw the batteries away. The batteries must be properly
destroyed at recycling facilities.
• Keep the male and female connectors in good condition always.
Maintenance procedure: unscrew the female connectors from the battery
and the male connectors from the board. After that, clean them with
isopropyl alcohol and apply white grease (for electronic contacts). Screw
the female connectors to the battery and male connectors to the board.
The lack of maintenance or lack of tightness on the connectors could do
irreversible damage to the board.
• Unless in charging, protect always the battery´s connectors with the
plastic cover. The plastic covers avoid entering water inside the connector.
In case you forget protecting the the battery´s conector water could
damage the battery irreversibly.
