1.2. 3.4. 5. 6. 7. 8. ENGLISH The correct positioning of the wishbone in the notch of the shaft must be carefully controlled and followed by a slow release of the slings once loading has been com- pleted (Drawing 8). Do not use the Arrow speargun if it shows signs of wear on essential components this includes shafts, slings, barbs, and the triggering mechanism. If in any doubt, do not use and immediately contact an authorized SEACSUB service centre for maintenance and assistance. Never use the Arrow speargun out of the water, given its power, it could be seri- ously damaged and potentially dangerous for people, animals and other objects. Never, for any reason, transport or keep the speargun loaded except when in use underwater.

Attention!

RECOMMENDATIONS TO PREVENT RISK At the end of a day of fishing, we advise unload-ing the speargun before returning to land. To do this correctly, first insert the safety catch, and then hold the slings with both hands just above the wishbone, being very careful to release the wishbone from the shaft by accompanying the slings to the muzzle. AND INJURY WHILE USING THE

A

RROW SPEARGUN

Follow national and local laws concern- ing the use and transport of underwater spearguns and relevant laws regarding the minimum age limits for use. Do not load or attempt to load the under- water speargun in any crowded place, or in the vicinity of beaches, public coast- lines, marinas etc. Always load the Arrow speargun in water, ensuring other persons are at a safe distance. Never, for any reason, aim the speargun at people, even if the safety catch is inserted. Always consider the safety catch as an extra precaution and not as a foolproof safety system. Ensure the speargun is positioned cor- rectly before beginning the loading operation. Mark your presence in the water with internationally and locally recognized sig- nal buoys Never shoot any speargun near other divers or swimmers.

Care and maintenance of the Arrow speargun

In order to maintain your Arrow speargun efficiently, you must follow the precautions below:Following each dive, including those in fresh water lakes or rivers, the Arrow speargun must be rinsed outside with fresh running water. The use of de-min- eralized water is recommended. Firstly, ensure all water residues that have entered during diving are removed from the triggering mechanism. Finally, leave the speargun to dry without exposing it extensively to direct sunlight. Periodically lubricate the triggering mech- anism with silicone oil. Never place the Arrow speargun near to sharp or heavy equipment that may cause 9.10.11.
