Helix
The Kahe POD has a high-speed propeller. It is fully shrouded for maximum protection, but special care is still required to avoid injury.
- Never put fingers, body parts or objects into the propulsion.
- Tie back long hair to prevent it from getting tangled in the propeller.
- Be sure to turn off the remote control before any intervention (e.g. cleaning algae).
- An additional protective grille is available (delivered by default with the snorkeling handle).
- The propeller stops automatically within seconds out of the water.
- Starting is only possible with the remote control switched on + pressing the button.
General security
- Respect local navigation rules.
- On a boat: the remote control must always remain on the user (it acts as a circuit breaker).
- Possibility of using a safety beacon if the remote control must remain on the tiller.
- In paddleboard/kayak: always have a paddle to return without a motor, always be able to return to a bank without assistance from the electric motor.
Children
- Not recommended for children under 16.
- Regardless of age: adult supervision required.
- Check that the boat and motor are in perfect condition and that the child has understood the safety rules.
