  • Page 9: General Safety Information

    • Use the SEABOB only if you are completely healthy. Diving even if you only have a light head cold may cause problems when you try to equalise the pressure in your ears.
  • Page 10 • Moor the SEABOB safely if you decide leave it in the water for a short time. En- sure that the SEABOB cannot become unattached, injure others or obstruct their path.
  • Page 11 Never open the sealing cap on the accumu- lator box charging socket while the SEABOB is in the water. Wet and / or dirty plug connections may cause a short circuit while the accumulator box is being charged or even before this process is begun.
  • Page 12 Always check the weather forecast before you set out, and pay close attention to local weather conditions. • Do not use the SEABOB in a heavy swell (significant wave heights up to 0.3 m maximum and occasional waves of 0.5 m maximum height). The SEABOB may seriously injure you or other persons.
  • Page 13 SEABOB may also approach quickly or appear suddenly. Keep an eye on what is happening farther up ahead. Beware of collisions! • The SEABOB is not equipped with lights and, for this reason, is not suitable for operation at night. Do not operate the craft after sunset or before sunrise. Doing so can lead to collisions with other watercraft or obstacles.

  • Page 14: Safety Information For Diving To A Depth Of Up To 2.5 M

    • Only skilled and experienced swimmers should be allowed to use the SEABOB for diving to a depth of up to 2.5 m. • Only use the SEABOB for diving if you are completely healthy. Consult a doctor if you are in doubt.

  • Page 15: Safety Information For Diving To A Depth Of More Than 2.5 M

    • Only divers with a valid diving licence or accompanied by a certified diving in- structor are allowed to use SEABOB for diving to a depth of more than 2.5 m. • Only use the SEABOB for diving if you are completely healthy. Consult a doctor if you are in doubt.
  • Page 16 • You must always ensure that you are able to resurface and return to the shore or boat by yourself without the assistance of the SEABOB. • Regardless of whether you are using the SEABOB while scuba diving, you should always adhere to the recommended descent and ascent rates and maximum div- ing duration in line with applicable diving association guidelines.

  • Page 17: Safety Information Concerning The Accumulator Box

    In addition to the special safety information on the accumulator box given in Chapter 1.1, be sure to ob- serve the following safety information: • Never expose the SEABOB or accumulator box to high temperatures (max. 60 °C / 140 °F) caused e.g. by open fire, direct sunlight or by storage inside a closed mo- tor vehicle or boot.
  • Page 18 • Before transporting the device, in particular before transporting by aircraft, be sure to read the safety information on the transport of the Lithium-Ion accumu- lator cells used in the accumulator box of the SEABOB (see Chapter 5.13 "Air transport / transport of the SEABOB and accumulator box ACS").
