Yamaha SEASCOOTER 275L User Manual page 14

Accidental Flooding
It is important that the seal is kept sand and grit free to
ensure it keeps water out and to close the latches fully
after accessing the battery chamber. However, should the
O-ring Seal not be clean or the latches not fully closed and
water enters the battery chamber, your SEASCOOTER ™
will not be damaged as it is designed for protection against
accidental flooding.
Water Leakage Sensor
(operates when propeller is turning)
Your SEASCOOTER ™ has a built-in water leakage sensor
– when the unit experiences accidental flooding, the motor
will stop momentarily every 10 seconds. At the same
moment, a buzzer will beep every 10 seconds.
If water enters the battery chamber:
1. Remove the SEASCOOTER ™ from the water if safe to
do so. Always observe safe diving practice.
2. Remove nose cone and tip out any excess water.
3. Wait two minutes for any gases to dissipate, then
remove battery pod.
4. If salt water has entered, rinse battery, battery pod and
housing with fresh water.
5. Dry housing and battery pod thoroughly.
6. A safety catalyzer, to protect against explosive gas in
normal use, is held in a spring in the bottom of the
battery housing. If the catalyzer is wet it will not function
and must be allowed to dry out before use.

Water Leakage Sensor (continued)
(operates when propeller is turning)
If the battery chamber is dry and the water leakage sensor
continues to beep then there is a leakage in the motor
housing, contact customer service center/repair center for
maintenance.
DO NOT OPERATE A UNIT WITH A SUSPECTED LEAK
INTO THE MOTOR CHAMBER.
