5. If you want to go more slowly, use your left thumb
to tap the red button on the left Controlgrip. You can
also perform this operation while the craft is mov
-
ing. The power decreases in increments of 10 % with
every tap of the button.
6. A minimum power of 10 % is required to start mov
-
ing from a complete stop or to keep moving during
operation.
7. To turn, shift your weight in the direction you want
to go, while pulling the bow of the craft in the same
direction. Lean into the curve, just as you would on a
bicycle or motorcycle. The lower part of your body, in
particular your legs, act as a tail fin. While turning the
craft, hold on to the Controlgrips tightly, so that you
do not slide off the SEABOB.
Practise turning the craft at low speeds until you
are able to control the SEABOB with ease. Danger
of collision and injury!
8. To stop, continue holding on to both Controlgrips se
-
curely, and release the Powergrip in your right hand.
The motor will stop, and the resistance of the water
will quickly slow you down. Be aware that it can take
around 2-3 m for you to come to a complete stop if
you are travelling at full speed, depending on your
momentum and speed up to that point. You can re
-
duce the distance it takes you to come to a complete
stop by turning the SEABOB sharply to the side and
straightening up without letting go of the craft. This
helps you to maintain control of the SEABOB and in
-
creases the water resistance considerably, so that you
can come to a complete stop as quickly as possible.
The SEABOB brakes by cutting off the power and
allowing the water resistance to slow the craft.
It can take around 2-3 m for you to come to a complete
stop, depending on the speed you are travelling. For this
reason, always maintain a safe distance (minimum 5 m)
to other persons, watercrafts and obstacles. Danger of
collision and injury!
If the SEABOB is released while travelling at
full speed, the craft may continue moving up to
approx. 3 m and may briefly dive under the water to a
depth of up to approx. 2 m. When this occurs, there is
the risk that persons may be injured and foreign objects
may be damaged. Also the SEABOB may be damaged,
particularly if the water is too shallow and the craft hits
the bottom.
