28. MAINTENANCE
28.1. MAINTENANCE O RING SEALING ENCLOSURE
Open the SCOOTER, remove the O-ring (19 - fig.6) avoiding the use of tools, and to scratch the O-ring seat, carefully
clean the O-ring seat using only a cloth microfiber. Do not use any type of solvent or alcohol. Apply a small amount
of Vaseline grease on the O-ring and put it in its place. Keep the screw of the locking knob lubricated with navy blue
grease.
28.2. MAINTENANCE CLOSING KNOB SEALS
Whenever the closing knob (9) (fig.1) should come into contact with the sand, rinse it abundantly with fresh water
before rotating it. For the replacement of the gaskets, refer to the authorized Suex centers.
28.3. ALUMINIUM BODY MAINTENANCE
Aluminium is marine hard anodized so it is immune to normal salt corrosion, however shocks or incorrect use can
damage the protection. In this case the Aluminium body should be replaced.
28.4. PROP LOCK PROPELLER
The easy replacement prop-lock propeller has been designed to be removed from the SCOOTER in any condition
without using any tool. Should extraneous object be entangled, such as ropes, fishing lines or even in case an
alternative propeller (different for shape or number of blades) is to be used, either during the dive or on surface, the
replacement is easy and the full function of the inside safety maintained.
HOW TO REMOVE THE PROP LOCK PROPELLER
Switch off the SCOOTER and make sure it is off!
Grasp the propeller by a blade (30 - Fig. 9) and unscrew the knob (31), turning anticlockwise until the propeller is
completely extracted.
NEVER lubricate the movement of the trigger or the magnetic piston.
Avoid leaving the scooter in long exposure to the sun as it could alter the color of
the body protector.
Please note that surface deterioration is considered normal wear and is not
covered by the warranty.
