General introduction to the handbook for captains This handbook has been compiled so that you can skipper your boat safely and enjoyably. Along with details on the boat itself, accessories supplied or built into the craft and its installations, it also contains information on its operation. Please read this carefully and familiarise yourself with the boat before you use it.
Page 5
Even if your boat is designed for them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to design categories A, B and C range from a category A storm to the most serious conditions of the upper category C, including the risk of breaking waves or wind squalls.
Page 6
In some countries a driving license or an authorisation is required or particular regulations apply. Always maintain your boat correctly and take note of any wear which may occur over time or as a result of frequent usage or incorrect use of the boat. Any boat, regardless of how strongly it is built, can sustain serious damage through incorrect handling.
Page 7
Sailing schools and clubs regularly organise training courses. Everybody should wear a portable buoyancy aid (life jacket/personal buoyancy aid) when they are on deck. It should be borne in mind that in some countries there are legal requirements which prescribe that a buoyancy aid complying with the national regulations should always be worn.

The manufacturer identification is also required for ordering spare parts. In case of theft, report the manufacturer identification, the exact model description and special characteristics of your craft to the appropriate authorities. This makes it possible to identify your S4 Standup. 1.1.2 Manufacturer identification Countr y...
Page 15
Position of warning stickers separate the contact to the engine and the craft will stop. If the safety lanyard is not fixed, the S4 Standup will not stop. This can cause injury or damage to yourself, swimming persons, and boats.
Floatage. The S4 Standup is not designed to be left in the water for a long time. Strong movement of waves can cause water to get into the water draining system of the engine's interior.
Page 21
Capsizing If your S4 Standup capsizes, proceed as follows: Make sure that the motor is off. Otherwise, pull the safety rip cord immedia- tely or actuate the motor stop button to switch off. Swim to the stern of your S4 Standup.
1.6 Restrictions during operation The safe use of your S4 Standup depends on the correct riding technique and a good and safe assessment of the respective situation. Make use of your experience and your common sense. That is the most likely way to avoid accidents.
Don't forget: S4 Standups do not have brakes. During a ride with the S4 Standup, the safety lanyard must always be tied to the rider. If you fall into the water, the pull on the line will cause your S4...
Page 24
You need to accelerate for riding curves. If you don't accelerate, the S4 Standup will lose its controllability and this could cause accidents. The S4 Standup was not developed for the night. Use it only during the day. Avoid riding in waters with algae, flotsam or other obstacles. This could block the jet pump.
Attention! Wave jumps can cause the hull to break (loss of warranty claim!). The rider must always keep a safe riding speed. The latter depends on the visibility, weather conditions, swell, wind, etc. While the jet pump is safer than a propellor, safety measures must also be observed.
If you use the Hydrospace S4 Standup properly it will reward you with greater reliability and a longer life. Don't forget to take your S4 Standup to a licensed Hydrospace dealer after 12 hours of operation and have it serviced. In case of non-observance, warranty claims could be lost! <#>...

2.2 Starter button/Engine cut-off button The starter button and the engine cut-off button are housed in the switch unit on the left-hand steering handle. The starter button is green and marked START. The engine cut-off button is red and marked STOP. Pressing the engine cut-off button will stop the engine.
The trim function serves to change the angle of the jet pump; the "nose" of the S4 Standup is pushed down with it into the water, resulting in better acceleration and higher speed in curves.
2.6 Steering system Change of direction is achieved with the S4 Standup by turning the steering in the direction in which you want to go. Moving the steering will change the angle of the jet drive. The water jet ejected causes the boat to move in the desired direction.
Page 41
ATTENTION Do not lift engine compartment hood more than 30°! This could cause fractures of the carbon cladding. The rear area of the engine hood (see ill.) is lifted at an angle of approx. 30°. Then, pull it out carefully backwards from its hold and lift it out. The locking takes place exactly vice-versa.
2.8 Gas cap 1. Raise the gas cap. 2. Untwist counter clockwise. 3. Take off the gas cap. 4. Put the gas cap in a safe place while refueling. Execute refueling as per manual. (Cap.3 Fuel) Close again in reverse order. ATTENTION Do not refuel in the water.
3.1 Daily checks before ride ATTENTION Warm-up of engine: Before every ride, the engine must run idle (in the water) for at least 5 seconds until the oil is distributed over the entire lubrication circulation. Afterwards, run for 2 min with max. 1/2 gas on operation temperature. In case of non-observance the turbo can get damaged.
Page 45
Check protective clothing. Check the cooling water control status for proper functioning (with running engine in the water). WARNING Fuel vapors collected in the engine compartment constitute a fire and explosion risk. Hull damage – feel the hull and check for damage. Sufficient fuel level - lift up hood and check fuel reserve in the tank.
Page 46
Throttle – check throttle lever for smooth and steady operation and for excess clearance. If necessary, adjust throttle control cable. The throttle lever must return automatically to the original position when it is released. WARNING If the throttle lever does not return to its original position automatically, this may lead to losing control of the craft.
Oil level check: Check oil level before every ride. Change oil during 1st inspection after 12 h. Change oil every 25 h, but at least once every year. Use only Hydrospace oil. Otherwise, we cannot recognize warranty claims. ATTENTION Measure oil level always when the S4 Standup is in the horizontal position (operating condition).
Page 48
ATTENTION Never allow the oil level to exceed the Overfill mark. This could cause major engine damage. ill. 2 Engine oil: Use fully synthetic 4 stroke Hydrospace engine oil (10W 60, API SJ-CF, ACEA A3/B3). english...
Page 49
3.3 Filling of the fuel tank Remove engine hood. Open tank lid. Do not pour fuel too fast. This allows the air in the tank to escape and the fuel does not flow back; Pay attention to maximum level. WARNING Petrol is easily inflammable, explosive under certain conditions, and toxic for the human body.
Super petrol unleaded DIN 51607, Octane between 95 and 98 ROZ/85 MOZ. US premium Unleaded fuel (91/92/93 Octane) or 95/98 ROZ ISO 5146. Hydrospace will not recognize any damage caused by the use of unlicensed lubricants or fuels during the guarantee period. Hydrospace cannot accept any guarantee or warranty claims in such cases.
Page 51
ATTENTION Never fill the fuel tank up to the top edge. Pay attention to maximum level.Petrol will expand under the influence of heat and can leak out through the fuel tank ventilation. Make sure after refueling that the fuel tank lid is closed correctly.
(Not found in all models). 3.5 Battery This S4 Standup has a battery which was produced in a sealed form. The sealing strip must not be removed after the electrolyte has been filled into the battery for the first time. The battery is completely service-free and therefore chek- king of the electrolyte filling level or topping off with of distilled water are not necessary.
Page 53
ATTENTION Never remove the airtight battery cover. This can damage the battery. Do not replace the Hydrospace battery by a conventional type. Otherwise, the electrical system cannot work properly. Always follow the instructions on the battery cover when charging service-free batteries.
3.6 Throttle lever ATTENTION Check several times that the throttle lever moves smoothly before you start the engine. 3.7 Steering system Check the correct fixing of the steering. Check the steering system by moving the stee- ring slowly from one (steering) stop position to the other. The jet pump should move at the same ratio as the steering.
Switch/safety lanyard Check the safety lanyard for damage (cracks, etc…). In case of damage, it must be replaced immediately by a new one. Check the correct functioning of the start button, the engine off-button and the engine stop line. WARNING Always keep hands, feet, clothing, and long hair away, (in center of floor), and never insert objects into the jet nozzle, (at the stern), while the engine is running.
Never run the engine for more than 10 seconds on land on low rpms. Overheating could severely damage the engine and the exhaust system. Turning To turn the S4 Standup, two simultaneous actions are required: turning the steering, and accelerating To do a left-hand turn, move the steering to the left.
Page 57
If you let the throttle lever go, there will be hardly any drive pressure. Only reduced controllability is possible. WARNING When you throttle completely, the S4 Standup will lose its controllability. This can lead to hitting objects. Therefore, only throttle so far that sufficient Left Right pressure for steering is maintained.
WARNING The Hydrospace S4 Standup is very sporty and versatile. You could lose your hold and fall down during sharp manoeuvres. This could cause accidents. Therefore, always ride according to your personal skill and knowledge. Starting from deep water 1. Swim to the stern.
