or other provisions. You are urged to observe all lo-
cal laws and regulations. For more information, you
should inquire at the appropriate local offices.
• Take your time to learn how to use the SEABOB prop
-
erly. Only attempt difficult manoeuvres like full-speed
operation and diving after you have mastered basic
manoeuvres such as braking / stopping in the water
and steering by shifting your weight / legs. Limit your
speed so that you are in complete control of the SEA
-
BOB at all times. Use the SEABOB responsibly, show
-
ing consideration for people, animals, plants and the
environment.
• Only operate the SEABOB when a person you know
is in visible range and has agreed to constantly keep
an eye on you while you operate the craft. Arrange to
have a boat accompany you if you wish to operate the
craft farther away from shore. Doing so ensures that
there is always someone nearby who can assist you in
the event of an emergency.
• Stay away from aquatic plants and floating objects
such as pieces of string, rope, plastic or wood to pre
-
vent the motor, impeller, stator and jet channel from
being damaged or their function inhibited. Avoid get
-
ting too close to the shore, rocky bottoms, reefs and
stones.
• Do not operate the SEABOB in water that is less than
1 m deep. Prevent sand or stones from getting into
the jet channel. Sand or stones in the jet channel may
damage the device.
• Only let other people use your SEABOB if they are
aged 16 or over and have shown you adequate proof
of age (such as a valid ID) and after you have given
them complete and full instructions on how to oper
-
ate the SEABOB.
• Only use the two carrying handles on either side of
the craft to carry the SEABOB. Never carry the craft by
the Controlgrips or display panel.
• Never run the motor out of the water for longer than
approx. 10 seconds. The seals of the motor and the
hard-coated motor shaft are designed exclusively for
use in the water. Operation out of the water can cause
overheating due to the lack of water to cool the de
-
vice, thereby causing irreparable damage to the seals
and motor shaft.
• When charging the accumulator box, always follow
the instructions contained in this Operation Manual
(see Chapter 5.2 "Charging the accumulator box").
