1. Safety information
The SEABOB is a state-of-the-art device. It conforms to current standards and is safe to operate if used properly. Failure
to use the device as designed and/or failure to follow the safety information, may cause serious injury or death of the
operator, injury or death of others, or cause damage to the SEABOB, and/or other property.
For this reason, we strongly urge you to read the Operator's Manual and the safety information contained in this
Manual carefully before you operate your SEABOB for the first time. The information contained in the Operator's
Manual will help you to operate the SEABOB safely, protect yourself and others from hazards, and prevent damage to
the device and other property.
Keep this Operator's Manual in a safe and easily accessible place for reference whenever needed. Do not discard.
Please also keep the original packaging. It can be used again later to provide optimum protection for the device (for
example, when sending the device in for service).
ATTENTION
AVOID COMPLETE
DISCHARGE OF THE BATTERY!
Charge the SEABOB
• immediately after delivery (within 1 week),
• after each use (within 24 hours) and
• continuously ("trickle-charge")
during longer periods of storage
The charge should be to the minimum charge
state of "Air Transport / Storage"
to avoid an irreparable complete
discharge of the valuable High-Energy
Lithium-Ion battery.

| Page 8 | SEABOB Operator's Manual |
• Never transport a fully charged SEABOB by airplane or over long distances!
• Observe instructions on charging, discharging, storage and transport!
• Failure to follow these instructions can lead to the release of flammable gases,
which may cause serious injury or death!
Special safety information for the Charger
• Important! Observe Operator's Manual!
• Do not expose to direct sunlight! Do not open!
• Use only with clean and dry plug and outlet connections!
• Keep Charger dry!
• Never use if cables or plugs are damaged!
• Charge only in dry, cool and well ventilated locations!
• Do not cover the Charger! Ensure that air can circulate around the Charger!
• Heats up during charging process! Allow Charger to cool before handling!
Never expose the SEABOB or Charger to high temperatures (max. 60 °C / 140 °F) including high
temperatures caused by open fire, direct sunlight or storage in a closed motor vehicle or trunk.
If exposed to heat, flammable gases can be discharged causing serious injury or death. In addition,
the Display screen may become irreparably damaged if exposed to heat.
Never transport a fully charged SEABOB by airplane or over long distances. The SEABOB should only be partially
charged during transport (selected the "Air Transport / Storage" option). Only switch off the SEABOB for transport
when the airplane symbol is displayed.

1.2 General Safety Information
General safety information for the Operator
• Only skilled and experienced swimmers aged 16 and older are allowed to use the
SEABOB.
• Due to the high power output of the device, children and young people under
16 years of age should not be permitted to operate the SEABOB. As with all
motor vehicles, persons operating the device must do so responsibly and with
proper supervision.
• Minors aged 16 and over, may only operate the SEABOB under the supervision of
a responsible adult.
• SEABOB is not a toy and is not intended for use by minors.
• The SEABOB is not designed for use as a swimming aid or flotation device. Users
may lose the craft in the water. The SEABOB is not a substitute for a life jacket,
life preserver or other such flotation device. For this reason, you should wear a
life jacket at all times when operating the SEABOB.
• Do not stray too far from the shore or the accompanying boat. Maintain a dis-
tance that is short enough, so that you can swim back by yourself in case of
emergency. Be aware of any currents in the area that could carry you away.
• Use of the SEABOB by persons with pacemakers is not permit-
ted. The strong magnetic fields created by the motor and current-carrying cables
may cause severe damage to pacemakers, resulting in possible death.
• Use of the SEABOB by pregnant women is not permitted.
During operation, the SEABOB may press up against the abdomen of pregnant
women and / or the jet of water coming out of the device may come into contact
with the abdomen potentially causing serious injury.
• Never use the SEABOB while under the influence of alcohol, medication or drugs.
Persons using the SEABOB must be able to react quickly. Alcohol, medication and
drugs can considerably inhibit the ability of persons using the device to react
quickly.
• Use the SEABOB only if you are completely healthy. Even if you only have a light
head cold, diving may cause problems when you try to equalize the pressure in
your ears.
• Wear only close-fitting clothing (without loose straps or belts)
when using the device. Wear a bathing cap or hair net if your hair is shoulder
length or longer. Although the device is equipped with the tightest protective
shields possible, it is technically impossible to fully prevent objects, in particu-
lar pieces of clothing, thin cords or shoulder-length hair, from entering the jet

channel and getting wrapped around the drive shaft due to the extremely high
suction power of the jet drive. Should this occur, there is a risk of injury or death
to the operator.
• For better visibility, wear secure diving goggles. Attention! Despite every precau-
tion taken, it is still possible for diving goggles to come off during operation of
the SEABOB and for contact lenses to be lost.
• Water spraying against and over your body cannot only be strenuous, but also
takes away body heat.We recommend wearing a wetsuit that provides adequate
warmth.
