CYCLING’S NEW FRONTIER.

Lithium-ion battery packs can be dangerous if charged incorrectly. Only use the battery
charger supplied by Manta5 for charging the Hydrofoiler SL-3 lithium-ion battery.
Do not use the battery charger with any other batteries. Never connect the charger to an
unregulated generator.
Never let a battery be charged unattended. The battery and charger can get hot while
charging. Do not charge near any sources of heat, humidity or flammable materials and
never cover the charger or battery with clothes or other objects.
The battery will not charge if it is 0°C (32°F) or less and greater than 45°C (113°F).
WARNING! - RISK OF FIRE:
Do not allow children to handle the battery or charger.
CAUTION - RISK OF INJURY:
Connect your battery to the charger and then to the power outlet. A red light should turn on, which
means your battery is charging. The light will turn green when it’s completely charged.
If the battery is malfunctioning or housing is damaged immediately discontinue use. Move the battery
to an open area away from people and property if safe to do so. In all cases contact Manta5
immediately.

3. Attach chassis to drivetrain
4. Attach the front tiller to the chassis
3.1 Align the hole to the square gearbox ensuring it’s
connected correctly. The chassis will rest in place on the
drivetrain.
3.2 Tighten the chassis lock located in the rear of the battery
tub.
3.3 Check that there is no movement and the chassis is
correctly connected to the drivetrain by gently lifting it.
4.1 Align the front tiller’s Quick Connect connection with the
bottom of the steering post and slide the connection into the
slot until the red latch clicks up into place.
4.2 There will be an audible click when Front Tiller is connected
correctly.
3.4 Connect the remote cable to the control box input and
rotate the twist lock (A) to tighten the connection.

5.1 Connect the battery cable to the control box by pushing the
plug into the socket.
5.4 Next, push the handle down locking the battery into place.
An audible click can be heard once connected correctly. Your
bike is now ready to be carried to the water.
6.2 Once ready to ride, hold the ACTIVATE MOTOR button
down for 3 seconds to activate the motor. You will see a 10
second timer which means you are ready to go. If you don’t use
the motor within the counter the motor will deactivate and you
will need to repeat this step.

level of charge.
5.3 Insert the battery into the tub with the handle arrows
pointing towards the front of the bike.

7 . Launching
7.1 At a minimum depth of 2 meters, place your hands on the
chassis and push the bike down under the water keeping it
upright. Push the handlebars and seat down to sink it further
while you climb on top of the bike.
The SL3 floats vertically allowing it to be easily mounted.
Make sure you are using the FC2 rear foil to optimize your
learning experience.
7.3 First time riders are encouraged to get comfortable riding
on the bike completely submerged. Do not attempt to launch
right away. Do this for a minute until you can feel the pitch of
the bike increase as you throttle faster and faster until you are
at maximum throttle. Practise leaning your chest over the
handlebars to control the launch angle.
7.2 Stand on the pedals whilst staying in an upright position
and rotate the pedals one full rotation to activate the motor,
allowing the throttle to become active.
7.4 Once you are comfortable riding underwater at maximum
throttle you can begin to slowly lean back. As you lean back
you will feel the take-off. Think aircraft taking off on a runway.
The heavier you are the longer your runway needs to be.
