Page 10: Assembly
Recommended cylinder size range in Europe is 10, 12 and 15 litres. Mounting the BARE BC to a SCUBA Cylinder: Slide the Tank Band Assembly over the SCUBA cylinder until the BC is at the desired height. At this point you may adjust the length of the Height Adjustment Strap so that it hangs over the tank valve suspending the BC at the same height every time. - Page 11 BC. The LP hose can be attached to the regulator first stage by your au- thorize BARE dealer. Should you wish to install the LP hose yourself follow these important steps: Using the correct tool remove one LP port from the first stage regulator.
- Page 12 Chest Strap – All BARE BCs have a cross-chest strap to keep the shoulder straps firmly in place. The straps can be located in two positions for greatest comfort and to avoid interference with the inflate valve located on the centre chest of most dry suits.
