- Inspect: Check the propeller area for any debris (e.g., hair, small leaves) and carefully remove it. Ensure the protective cover is undamaged.
6.2 Charging Port Care
The magnetic charging contacts can be susceptible to corrosion if not maintained.
- After each use, ensure the charging contacts on both the scooter and the charger cable are clean and dry.
- If corrosion is observed, gently clean the contacts with a soft cloth and a small amount of contact cleaner or a mild, non-abrasive solution. Ensure the contacts are completely dry before attempting to charge.
6.3 Storage
- Store the scooter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- For long-term storage, ensure the battery is charged to approximately 50-60% to preserve battery health.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Hagul Underwater Scooter, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scooter does not power on or charge. | Loose charging connection; corroded charging contacts; depleted battery. | Ensure the magnetic charging cable is firmly connected. Clean charging contacts on both the scooter and cable if corrosion is present. Allow sufficient time for charging. |
| Battery life is shorter than expected. | Continuous high-speed use; cold water temperatures; battery degradation over time. | Battery life varies with usage. Continuous high-speed operation (approx. 18 min) consumes more power than intermittent or low-speed use (approx. 50 min intermittent, 25 min continuous low). Ensure battery is fully charged before use. |
| Objects caught in the propeller. | Loose clothing, hair, or debris in water. | Immediately stop the scooter. Carefully remove any entangled objects from the propeller area. Always ensure loose items are secured before use. |
| Reduced thrust or performance. | Propeller obstructed; low battery; internal issue. | Check and clear the propeller. Ensure the battery is fully charged. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
