• 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
long hair should tie it up or wear a swimming cap when

•
Always inspect the swimming area to ensure it is free of
hazards or obstacles such as boats and swimmers before
using the SEASCOOTER™.
•
Always charge battery to its fullest before using the
SEASCOOTER™. After charging is complete the battery
will continue to off gas. Wait at least 30 minutes after

follow these instructions.
1.Charge the battery and install just before use.
2.Make sure that Vent Plug is closed.
3.Place the SEA-DOO®SEASCOOTER™into the water so
the Handle, Outer Nose Cone and Nozzle fill with water.

position shown in figure 2.
5.Pull and hold both Triggers to start the Propeller.
(There is a short delay before the Propeller begins to
rotate).
6.To stop the Propeller, simply release the Trigger.
7.Always turn the Master Switch off when out of the water.

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.

5.Remove the lid from the Buoyancy Control Chamber and
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
• The battery supplied with your SEA-DOO®
SEASCOOTER™releases a potentially explosive gas
during charging. Charging should only take place in a
well ventilated area, away from children and naked
flames or other ignition sources (cigarettes, sparks).
Never charge the battery whilst still in the SEA-DOO®
SEASCOOTER™.
• Charge the battery as soon as possible after use within
24 hours.
• Always charge the battery to the fullest before using
the SEA-DOO®SEASCOOTER™.
• Always remove the battery from the battery housing
before charging.
• Always connect charger jack to the battery first and
then plug charger into the mains.
• After charging, disconnect from the mains first and then
disconnect the battery from the charger.
• After charging is complete the battery will continue to
off gas. Wait at least 30 minutes after charging before
removing the battery from the charger or placing the
battery into the battery housing. Failure to do so could
result in an explosion.
•

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.
4.
If salt water has entered, rinse battery and battery
housing with fresh water.
