GETTING STARTED

Before you use the PROFESSIONAL DIVE LI series Seascooter for the first time, the battery needs to be charged. Follow the Battery Cautions
on page 6 and Charging instructions on page 7.
Your Seascooter 500Li & 350Li can be used for swimming, snorkeling or diving up to 40m/130ft (by qualified divers).
Your Seascooter 220Li can be used for swimming, snorkeling or diving up to 30m/100ft (by qualified divers).
To use the Seascooter, follow these instructions.
1. Follow instructions on page 7 and charge the battery just before use.
2. Place the Seascooter into the water and rock gently to release trapped air.
3. The Professional Dive Li series unit automatically assumes neutral to positive buoyancy in seawater. It will have less buoyancy in fresh water and pool and
may sink in such waters. In fresh water the 500Li unit may assume slight negative buoyancy. The 350Li and 220Li units assume neutral to positive
buoyancy. All units will have less buoyancy in fresh water and pool and may sink in such waters. Always check the buoyancy of your unit before use. Use
accessory lead ballast weights (Purchase separately for 220Li) for making small buoyancy adjustments (see Fig. 23).
4. Slide both clip-on accessory fins onto the rear grille fixture points of your Professional Dive Li series unit (see Fig. 24, Purchased separately for 220Li).
5. When ready to set off, switch the Master Switch to the ON position (see Fig. 25).
6. For US version : The Professional Dive Li series unit can be operated by pushing only one trigger or both triggers at the same time. Push the left or right
Trigger to start the Propeller (see Fig. 26). The Seascooter will accelerate up to speed 1. (There is a short delay before the Propeller begins to rotate)
For EU version : Push both Triggers to start the Propeller (see fig. 26). The Seascooter will accelerate up to speed 1. (There is a short delay before the
Propeller begins to rotate)
7. For US version : To increase speed at any time, simply pulse the left or right trigger off and on again within half a second. The Seascooter will accelerate up
to the next speed level.
For EU version : To increase speed at any time, simply pulse the left or right trigger off and on again within half a second. The Seascooter will accelerate up
to the next speed level. Make sure to keep both trigger pressed at all times.
8. When at maximum speed, further pulses will have no effect. (500Li & 350Li - 3 speeds, 220Li - 2 speeds)
9. To stop the Propeller, simply release both Triggers.
10. Always set the Master Switch to the OFF position when the Professional Dive Li series unit is out of the water. (see Fig. 27)
11. Maintain proper posture to achieve the maximum speed when using the Seascooter.
– see Fig. 28 for the correct position of the Seascooter when using it.
