BONEX-SCOOTER
Instruction for use

9. Use

You should use a backplate with harness and crotch belt for riding the
scooter. When using an ADV or stabilizing jacket you can attach a crotch
strap additionally to your lead belt, or use a separate waist belt with crotch
strap while using a lead-integrated jacket.
Prepare your equipment as for a normal dive. Make sure to attach or place
loose objects such as inflator pipes, reels, knives, lamps etc. so that they
cannot get caught in the propeller during operation!
Make sure that pipes and cables are laid close to the body because
protruding parts can increase the resistance and flap during riding!
Make your first test runs under expert supervision. Reduce your equipment
to a minimum and increase the objects you will need for your dives
gradually from trip to trip!
Important: These short instructions are NO REPLACEMENTS for a
professional practical course!
On the first run fasten your items of equipment such as computer, watch,
depth gauge and lamp so that you can operate the scooter with your right
hand. Connect the tow cord with the bolt snap on the ring of the crotch belt.
The pull of the scooter should pull the diver with the tow cord by means of
the D-ring. You therefore need little strength to steer the scooter.
During the first test runs try to keep your right arm slightly bent on the
round handle whilst being pulled. You can now operate the drive switch
with your thumb. You can also steer with your left hand on the handle stub
to the left of the drive switch to take the strain off your right arm during long
trips.
Set the speed regulator to a medium speed for the first run.
The scooter should pull you exactly horizontally in a balanced state.
This can be adjusted with the positioning of the bolt snap on the tow cord.
If the scooter pulls UP, the UPPER TOW CORD must be extended.
If the scooter pulls DOWN the LOWER TOW CORD must be extended.
In both cases you can also shorten the opposite site of tow cord!
If necessary you can also adjust the lead amount for trimming the
Bonex-Scooter.
