Warnings & Cautions
WARNING
A warning means that injury or death is possible
if the instructions are not obeyed.
CAUTION
A caution means that damage
to equipment is possible.
Note
A note is added to give more
information, usually in a procedure.
WARNING
: Keep hands, long hair and equipment away from propeller. The propeller spinning at
high power settings creates significant suction within 16 inches (40 cm) of the nozzle inlet and can
draw in hands, hair or anything within range. The DPV is equipped with safety features that will
stop the propeller rotation when enough resistance is present, but injury is still possible.
WARNING
: Always rotate the trigger lock tab to block trigger operation AND adjust the speed
control lever to OFF when not in use to avoid accidental operation.
WARNING
:
Never allow the batteries to charge unattended or attempt to charge damaged
batteries. The Lithium Ion polymer batteries have a high energy density and can catch fire or
explode if abused or damaged. Only recharge in a safe location, free of flammable materials,
under direct supervision and only using the supplied charger. Do not attempt to charge the
batteries immediately after fully discharging them at hi power. The batteries heat up the most
during the end of a deep discharge and should be allowed to cool for one hour before
recharging. For the best battery life, avoid deeply discharging the batteries if possible.
WARNING
:
Do not leave the DPV batteries (alone or installed in DPV) in direct sunlight or a hot
car. Temperatures of 160°F (70°C) or above can damage the batteries resulting in fire or explosion.
WARNING
:
Do not attempt to charge the batteries when they are at or below freezing
(32°F/0°C). Permanent damage to the batteries will result, decreasing both battery safety and
capacity. While the outside of the batteries may be above freezing, the centers may not. Ensure
ample time is spent in a warm environment for thermal equilibrium across the pack before
charging, following exposure to freezing temperatures.
WARNING
:
Do not use the DPV to ascend from depth. Having the scooter tow you towards the
surface from depth can result in a rapid ascent which can result in ear drum rupture, lung over
expansion, decompression illness or death. Do not operate any DPV without proper training.
