Securing the Band to the Cylinder
WARNING: The cylinder band will initially stretch as it becomes wet. Always wet
the band before making the final adjustment; apply enough tension to ensure that
the cylinder is completely secure. Test this connection before every dive. If the
cylinder slips free from the BC during the dive, you may loose your air supply,
which could lead to serious injury or death.
NOTE: Ensure the cam buckles are positioned on the bottom of the cylinder when
using a front mount set-up.
1. While holding the cylinder secure, pull the
free end of the cylinder band webbing until
there is a very tight fit between the cylinder
mount and the cylinder (Fig. 14).
2. Close the buckle halfway to hold the
cylinder band taut and thread the free end
of the band through the open slot in the
end of the buckle (Fig. 15).
3. Pull the cam buckle closed so that it lies
flat against the cylinder. Secure the end
of the cylinder band with the hook & loop
attachment. (Fig. 16).
4. Check the cylinder band is secure by
pulling on the band while holding the
cylinder at the valve. If the cylinder band
moves, it is too loose. Repeat steps 1-3.
