• Read the user's manual carefully.
• Never remove the grilles except for maintenance.
• Never stick body parts, clothing or other objects in the
vicinity of the Propeller. Do not wear loose or flowing
clothing or equipment that could be drawn into the
Propeller.
•
Particular care should be exercised when using the
SEASCOOTER™ near anybody with long hair. Users with

Using the SEA-DOO® SEASCOOTER™ for diving -
adjusting the buoyancy.
Your SEASCOOTER™can be used for diving up to 20m/65ft
but will need to be adjusted for neutral buoyancy. The
SEASCOOTER™must never be adjusted for negative
buoyancy to avoid it sinking if accidentally released.
To adjust for neutral buoyancy follow these instructions
1.Make sure the SEA-DOO®SEASCOOTER™ is in the Off
position.
2.Remove the SEASCOOTER™from the water, give a half
turn to the Latches, remove them (see figure 4) and
remove the Buoyancy Control Chamber.
3.Replace the Outer Nose Cone and Latches.
4.Place the SEA-DOO®SEASCOOTER™in the water to fill
the nozzle, handle and Outer Nose Cone with water.
8.
Proper posture when using the SEA-DOO®
SEASCOOTER™ is important to achieve the maximum
speed - see figure 3 for the correct position of the
SEA-DOO®SEASCOOTER™when using it.

place the upturned chamber on the Handle as show in
figure 5.
6.Adjust the buoyancy by adding weight and replace the lid
of the Buoyancy Chamber making sure the seal is free
from sand.
7.Remove the SEASCOOTER™ from the water, remove
the Outer Nose Cone again, replace the Buoyancy
Chamber, replace the Outer Nose Cone and close with
the Latches.

CAUTION
If the SEASCOOTER™is later used for swimming or
snorkeling be sure to remove the weight from the Buoyancy
Chamber so the SEA-DOO®SEASCOOTER™ has positive
buoyancy.

Battery Use
CAUTION
• Your SEA-DOO®SEASCOOTER™is supplied with a
battery that needs to be treated carefully as it will
release potentially explosive gases during its normal
cycle of use (off gassing). Please read the entire
manual thoroughly and follow all instructions. Failure
to do so can result in an explosion occurring.
• Always remove the battery from your SEA-DOO®
SEASCOOTER™when it is not in use and store
separately in a well ventilated area where it is out of
the reach of children and away from heat and ignition
sources.
• Do not install the battery in your SEA-DOO®
SEASCOOTER™ until immediately prior to using it.
• Before disconnecting/connecting any cables, open the
nose cone and allow two minutes for any explosive
gases to dissipate.
• Do not use/store/charge the battery in temperatures
above 40ºC (104ºF) as excessive off gassing may
occur. Keep the battery and SEA-DOO®
SEASCOOTER™in the shade when not in use.
• Always ensure the unit is dried thoroughly before
opening the Nose Cone.
• Only use the charger supplied with the SEA-DOO®
SEASCOOTER™.
Battery Use
CAUTION

Accidental Flooding
Be sure to keep the seals sand and grit free to ensure they
keep water out and to close the vent plug after accessing
the battery chamber. However, should the seals not be
clean or the vent plug left open and water enter the battery
chamber, your Seascooter will not be damaged as it is
designed for protection against accidental flooding.
If water enters the battery chamber:
1. Remove the SEASCOOTER™from the water if it is safe
to do so. Always observe safe diving practice.
2. Remove nose cone and tip out excess water.
3. Wait two minutes for any gases to dissipate, then remove
the battery.
