1. This page will explain in detail how to access the CMOS Chipset Controller (AKA - The brain) of the sea scooter. This page will also explain the components inside of the sea scooter and how to replace them. Maintaining your sea scooter is very simple and easy to do. There are no parts that cannot be changed out in about 15 minutes time.
Fig 1.a.
Figure 1.a. Above & Fig 2.a. below shows the lay out of the sea scooter unassembled.
1. is the propellor guard
2. shows the controller housing that number 3 fits into.
3. shows the bottom of the battery box which is where the CMOS controller board is located
4. is the 12V battery
5. is the top of the battery cover, the vent plug is located in this piece.
6. below shows the vent plug
Fig 2.a.
To access the vent plug, remove the nose cone of the sea scooter (not shown) by twisting the left and right handles and then popping them out of the nose cone, the lift the cone off the scooter, lift out the buoyancy box and then you can see the vent plug. Remove the vent plug, then wiggle and pull on part number 5. above our use the foot pump with the safety strap to remove the battery cover 5. by screwing the foot plug plug into the vent plug hole and then pumping the foot pump until it pops off.
Fig 3.a.
This is part number 3 shown above:
Now you have part number 5. the battery cover removed, unplug the battery & lift it out of the scooter. Next see figure 3.a above and locate the 3 rubber plugs on the bottom of the battery box, these are under the battery that you just removed. Pry the rubber plugs out with a small screw driver or something sharp so you can pop it out, you will then find the Philips screws under the plugs. Remove the 3 screws. You can see the 3 screws and the 3 rubber plugs in image 3.a above, they are marked with white arrows & the plugs have been removed and are at the bottom of the image.
Fig 4.a.
Figure 4.a above shows part number 3 that you can view in image 1.a & 2.a at the top of the page. This is the bottom of the battery box and on the opposite side you can see the controller is mounted into the back side of the battery box. The controller is the green circuit board you see in image 4.a.
To remove the CMOS controller board chipset (AKA the brain) find the 2 small Phillips screws at the top of the controller board, remove them and the little black fittings that hold the board in place, then unplug the positive and negative wires from the controller and slide it out after you unplug the small white connector from the side of the controller which is the wires that go to the water sensing probes in the topside of the bottom of the battery box (the wires connect to the 2 small screws you can see in the top side of the bottom of the battery box)
Next, gently pull on the controller board until it slides out of the bottom of the battery box. Now install your new controller board by sliding it back into the bottom of the battery box. Install it where you just removed the old one from. Slide the positive and negative wire terminals onto the new controller and plug in the water sensing white connector on the side of the controller board. Next install the 2 Phillips screws and the black fittings that hold the controller in place. Be sure to correctly install these.
Now is a good time to find the small tube of grease lube we sent with your scooter and put some grease around the rubber O-ring before you install it. This will ensure a tight seal and keep water out of the controller area. Next you will plug the entire battery housing back into the lower part of the sea scooter. Be sure to drain out any water that might be present in the bottom of the sea scooter before re-assembly.
After you ensure you have a tight fitting lower battery box that is plugged back into the main body of the sea scooter, screw in the 3 screws that are still in the bottom of the battery box, then replace the rubber plugs, install the battery and test the scooter. *Note: You can test the scooter before you install the 3 screws and replace the plugs if you like, but you must at-least plug the bottom of the battery box back into the main sea scooter body or the controller will not be connected and it cannot be tested.
After installing the battery, be sure to grease up the O-ring around the top of the battery box cover, this will ensure a water tight seal. Install the top battery cover, then if you are going to use the scooter in the water, install the vent plug. Be sure to add some grease lube to the vent plug threads, this will ensure a water tight seal. Next install the bouncy box, then the nose cone and the side handles, lock the nose cone into place and test the scooter in the water. Be sure to always remove the vent plug when the scooter will not be in use for more than 1 or 2 hours or the battery gases can explode.
Fig 5.a
Fig 5.a above shows a close up picture of the CMOS Chips controller board.
Figure 6.a shows the top of the battery cover, also this is where you can access the vent plug. The vent plug must always be left open when the sea scooter is not in use for more than a 1 or 2 hours to allow the battery gases to escape. Failure to do this can result in the sea scooter exploding. Do not over tighten the vent plug when you install it or it will strip out. Always make sure you have some grease lub around this seal as well.
