PRE-DIVE ADJUSTMENT
2. STERNUM STRAP ADJUSTMENT
a. Fasten the sternum strap buckle.
b. Tighten the strap by pulling the plastic D-ring to your left.
c. Tightening the sternum strap adjusts where the shoulder straps will sit on your shoulders.
The correct adjustment pulls the shoulder straps together just far enough that they do
not restrict your arm movement.
d. Do not over-tighten the Sternum Strap.
e. To release tension, lift the front edge of the buckle to allow the webbing to pass back
through the buckle.

PRE-DIVE ADJUSTMENT
3. SHOULDER STRAP ADJUSTMENT
a. Take up the slack in the Shoulder Strap webbing by pulling downwards on the plastic D-rings.
b. Do not overtighten the shoulder straps as that will pull the Waist Strap up and out of the
optimal position just above your hips and as a result the comfort and stability of the
system will be compromised.
c. To release tension, lift the front edge of the buckle to allow the webbing to pass back
through the buckle.
WARNING
ADJUST THE BC SO THAT IT DOES NOT RESTRICT YOUR BREATHING WHEN FULLY
INFLATED. Restriction of normal breathing while wearing your BC could result in
injury or death. Before each use, check all bands, straps, quick-connect clips,
and/or cummerbund for proper adjustment to the user.
