20.1. SCOOTER FLOODING, SINKING
The flooding of the SCOOTER and consequently its sinking is a hypothesis that could occur mainly as a result of:
un uso improprio,
un forte urto,
una chiusura scorretta dello SCOOTER,
un'inefficiente manutenzione.
In the event of flooding, the scooter will start to tilt downward and thus sinks.
In the event of total flooding, the situation could become POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
since the SCOOTER becomes negative and will start to SINK, DRAGGING THE DIVER
DOWN and therefore the scooter MUST BE IMMEDIATELY ABANDONED.
20.2. EXITING THE WATER WITH THE SCOOTER
Exiting the water is another delicate moment in the dive and, in this case too, the addition of the SCOOTER could be
an extra task loading.
Depending where the dive started, always make sure the SCOOTER is the last piece of
equipment to recovery. Always put diver own safety first.
Pay particular attention when exiting rough sea since waves could lift and launch the
SCOOTER against the diver with even fatal consequences.
HEALTH PROTECTION - LEAD
In spite the contact whit the ballast elements is rare and therefore minimal the exposure
of humans and environment, the ballast elements contain metallic Lead (inorganic).

SAFETY DEVICES AND SYSTEM ON BOARD
In order to provide the highest safety condition to the user SCOOTER includes technical solutions and devices
designed to eliminate or minimize the risks during the usage.
21.1. TORQUE LIMITING DEVICE AT THE PROPELLER
A torque-limiting device is installed between the motor and the propeller. When the resistance felt by the propeller
exceeds a certain torque, this device is triggered, preventing the propeller from rotating.
The device will generate a rhythmic sound signalling its insertion.
