Propeller

The Kahe POD is equipped with a high-speed propeller. It is fully shrouded to ensure maximum protection, but extra caution is still required to avoid any injury.

• Never put fingers, body parts, or objects into the propulsion unit.
• Tie back long hair to prevent it from getting tangled in the propeller.
• Always turn off the remote control before any maintenance (e.g., removing seaweed).
• For your safety, the propeller stops automatically within seconds when out of the water.
• Starting is only possible with the remote control turned on + pressing the button.

General safety

• Follow local navigation rules.
• The remote control must always remain with the user (it acts as a kill switch).
• When paddleboarding/kayaking: do not go too far and always have a paddle to return without the motor; you must always be able to return to shore without the help of the electric motor.
• Use a leash for the craft or the paddle.
• For the POD160 snorkeling version, when in underwater scooter mode, you must use the leash provided with the handle to avoid the risk of losing the Kahe POD
  

Children

• Not recommended for children under 16.
• Regardless of age: adult supervision is mandatory.
• Ensure the craft and motor are in perfect condition and that the child fully understands the safety rules.
  

BATTERY HANDLING
