WARNING: This BC is designed for use with compressed air
or Nitrox/EAN (enriched air nitrox) mixtures not exceeding
40% oxygen. Any use of gas mixtures with increased oxygen
content or the addition of helium or other substances may
cause corrosion, deterioration and/or premature aging of the
BC leading to component failure of the metal and rubber parts.
The component failures could lead to a loss of buoyancy control
and/or pressure integrity of the BC resulting in injury or death.
Non-standard breathing mixtures may also present a risk of
fire or explosion. The use of Nitrox/EAN requires additional
training. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury or
death. Use only nitrogen/oxygen mixtures containing no more
than 40% oxygen.
WARNING: This is NOT a life jacket or rescue device: It does not
guarantee a head-up position of the wearer at the surface. It is not
designed to provide face-up flotation in all situations; therefore
it does not meet U.S. Coast Guard regulations for a life preserver
or personal flotation device (PFD). If you become unconscious in
the water without a buddy present to immediately give assistance,
you may suffer serious injury or death from drowning.
WARNING: TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS: This BC should be
exposed to temperatures no lower than -4°F (-20°C) and no higher
than 150°F (65°C).
WARNING: Special instruction and procedures are needed when diving
in cold water (temperatures below 50° F / 10° C). This instruction is
beyond the scope of this manual. Use of this product without proper
instruction in cold water diving techniques could result in serious
injury or death. Consult a professional diving instructor prior to using
this product in cold water.
WARNING: Your BC is not a lift bag. DO NOT use it to bring heavy
objects to the surface. Doing so may cause permanent damage
to the BC and could also result in serious injury or death due to
arterial gas embolism or decompression sickness.
