• Stay away from aquatic plants and floating objects such as pieces of string, rope,
plastic or wood to prevent the motor, impeller, stator and jet channel from being
damaged or their function inhibited. Prevent sand or stones from getting into the
jet channel. Sand or stones in the jet channel may damage the device.
• The operating time of the SEABOB is limited. Return to the shore or accompany-
ing boat in time.
• When the battery is discharged to approx. one third of its charge state, the
motor‘s electronic control system reduces the maximum power incrementally
(Power Level 3, Power Level 2 etc.). This is done to prolong battery cell life as
the voltage decreases, while ensuring that there is sufficient reserve capacity for
emergency mode. The two red bars on the battery symbol indicate the start of the
emergency reserve for the SEABOB. In emergency mode, the power is gradually
reduced automatically until the motor comes to a complete stop. Always take
into account the limited power when timing your return to the shore or boat.
• You must always be able to return to the shore or boat unassisted and without
the aid of the SEABOB.
• In most instances, the general personal liability insurance of the operator does
not cover property damage caused by the use of SEABOB. Before using the
SEABOB, you are encouraged to contact your insurance provider for information
on a suitable insurance policy for coverage in the event of property damage.
