WARNING

 

Do not carry the scooter with one

    hand when using saddle to transport

    

vehicle on land.

 

Verify that prop cover stay is firmly

    in place and single hand unit properly

    installed before attempting to

    lift vehicle by handle bar.

CAUTION

 

Battery duration may vary depending on how it has been stored or used. Do not use a battery that is old or 

 

 

damaged on outside

, as its power could suddenly drop, or it could have an extremely short running time.

Knobs

Grasp saddle handles with

both hands and lift vehicle

to carry on land.

Hands-free riding is a new riding style in which the diver uses one's body instead of one's hands to steer

the scooter.

This frees up the diver's hands. Different from past scooters that were steered using both hands, the diver steers

the scooter using one's entire body. This greatly reduces the amount of physical strain put on the diver.

It allows for "long-distance travel" and "extended diving time", enabling the diver to explore greater distances and

diving environments that may have been impossible in the past.

There are great benefits to being able to drive hands-free.

Scooters that need to be steered by hand end up becoming like a piece of baggage itself underwater.

Divers who thought, "Using a scooter keeps me from being able to carry anything else underwater", will now be free

to take what ever they want on their dive.

Because different items of underwater equipment can be attached to the scooter using the wing arms, the carrying

capabilities are vastly improved.

 Long-distance travel is made possible.

 

 The SAV-7 EVO2 can travel underwater distances of around 7,200 meters when a Li-ion battery is used.

 

 Since it takes over 110min to cover 7,200 meters when traveling nonstop, a diver can easily travel continuously

 

 over the time span of a regular single dive. For leisure diving, in which the diver uses the scooter only to travel

 

 between certain diving spots, it can easily run for two dives.

 Handle

 

 The Grips on either side of your scooter can be used for take off,

     stopping and turns. The Grips should NOT be used for carrying the

     scooter on land. To carry vehicle on land, grasp both saddle handles

     or with one hand grasp handle bar of Single Hand Unit (see below).

 Saddle

 

 To minimize underwater resistance and to allow for effortless under-

 

 water maneuvering, the scooter is designed to be steered

 

 hands-free. In doing so, the saddle helps to hold the diver in place,

 

 and allows the diver to steer the scooter freely. Even relatively sharp

 

 turns are made possible when riding hands free.

 Accelerator lever

 

 The accelerator lever functions are same way as the gas pedal on

    an automobile.

 

 The revolution speed goes up when pushed up, and goes down

 

 as the lever returns to its original position.

 Wing arms

 

 Wing arms are used on the scooter for triple (refer to page 28)

    (three-person) rides.

 

 The grips are used to pull the two guest divers. By attaching a

 

 karabiner onto the hole in the wing arms, they can also be used

 

 to carry underwater equipment.

→  

To loosen the knobs, the wing arms are pulled out.
