buoyant - this is done by simply making sure the Buoyancy

Chamber is empty and fitted inside the Nose Cone.

To use the SEASCOOTER™for swimming or snorkeling

follow these instructions.

1. Charge the battery - see page 9 for instructions (make

sure that when you finish charging the Vent Plug is

closed).

2. Place the SEA-DOO®SEASCOOTER™VS Supercharged

into the water so the Handle, Outer Nose Cone and

Nozzle fill with water.

Use of Variable Speed.

Your Seascooter features two speeds - for normal speed,

pull the right trigger only. For the higher speed, pull both

triggers together.

Using the SEA-DOO®SEASCOOTER™ VS Supercharged

for diving - adjusting the buoyancy.

Your SEASCOOTER™can be used for diving up to 30m/100ft

but will need to be adjusted for neutral buoyancy. The

SEASCOOTER™must never be adjusted for negative

buoyancy to avoid it sinking if accidentally released.

To adjust for neutral buoyancy follow these instructions

1. Make sure the SEA-DOO®SEASCOOTER™

 VS Supercharged master switch is in the Off position.

2. Remove the SEASCOOTER™from the water, give a half
