Manta Board User Manual: Safety, Assembly, Care, And Maintenance.pdf

Safety and Operation Guide

## Introduction
This manual is designed to ensure safe and proper use of your Manta jet-powered watersport board. It covers assembly, operation, safety guidelines, maintenance, and troubleshooting for a seamless experience.

## Main Security Checks
- Pre-Use Inspection: Check the board, battery, controller, and leash for any damage or defects before entering the water. Ensure all components are in good working condition.
- User Familiarization: Understand the board's security systems and follow instructions strictly.
- Avoid Hazards: Stay clear of wave break areas and position yourself between the board and incoming waves to prevent injury.
- Skill Level: Only operate the Manta if conditions match your skill level.
- Leash Usage: Always wear the leash while using the board for safety.
- Entry and Exit: Enter and exit the water from one side, especially in deep areas, to avoid powerful jet propulsion injuries.
- Impeller Safety: Keep hands and feet away from the impeller due to its strong suction force. The impeller's edges are sharp and can cause cuts.
- Inertial Movement: Be aware that the board has no braking system; it will continue moving forward after throttle release, so plan your stops accordingly.
- Hot Steel: Avoid touching the steel tube immediately after use as it may be hot.
