5 BC Elements 2/2 K-type Power Inflator A K-type inflator is a reliable device made of shock- proof technopolymer which resistant 2 2 2 2 environmental conditions. The inflator valve is made of metal, which makes the inflator more resistant to freezing and it can be operated much longer than inflators made entirely of plastic.

5 BC Adjustment When you order a complete BC system, you get all elements connected and ready for use. For improved comfort and safety of use you should, however, make some final adjustments of the harness straps. The adjustment description below applies to the most basic model of harness, consisting of steel or aluminium plate and one piece of webbing, which is popular among technical divers.

6 Connecting the LP hose To allow for proper operation of the inflator it must be connected to the LP port of the 1st stage of the regulator using the LP hose supplied with the BC. Danger! LP hose connection using the 1 stage of the regulator must be made to the low pressure (LP) port only.

8 Connecting the Scuba Tank 2/2 Connecting the double SCUBA tanks to HYDROS 50 and HYDROS 40 compensators In order to connect the double scuba tank in proper and safe way, read and understand the user manual delivered with the double set. To install the BC on double tank set: 1.
9 Pre-dive Inspection Before every dive it is necessary to follow the inspection procedures for checking the correct operation of all BC elements. Even if on a given day you have already dived using your BC, before diving again make sure that all of its elements are working correctly.
10 Operation Buoyancy on the surface In order to ensure maximum buoyancy on the surface, before getting into the water (or directly after ascending) inflate the BC using inflator button. Stop inflating the BC when the automatic dump valve activates. Danger! Before jumping into deep water from a boat or a bank inflate the BC using the inflator button.
11 Post-dive maintenance Disconnecting After diving, take out the weight from the weight pockets (if applicable), disconnect the LP hose from the inflator, and then disconnect the tank. Draining Inflate the BC orally using the purge button of the inflator. Next turn the BC to keep the automatic dump valve at the lowest point of the BC.
12 Repair and maintenance xDEEP BCDs does not contain any elements which can be repaired by the user, and so all repairs (including lubrication or replacement of worn-out elements) should be performed only by trained technicians holding certificates issued by the producer (authorized service center).
