Important Cautions - Uwatec HYDROS PRO User Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
KEEP WATER OUT OF THE INFLATABLE AIRCELL OF THE BC. Repeated use of the
oral valve or the Overpressure Valve may allow water inside the BC, reducing the
amount of buoyancy provided by the BC. This could result in injury or death. Drain
all water out of the BC prior to every use.
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.
WARNING
DO NOT DIVE with a BC that is damaged, leaks air, or does nnot function properly.
Terminate any dive as safely and quickly as possible if the BC becomes damaged,
leaks air, or does not function properly.
WARNING
The Ecoweight and Removable Pockets must be perfectly secured with the
buckles fully and correctly engaged: the loss of the pocket during diving causes
positive buoyancy and uncontrolled ascent that could result in injury or death.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

For your protection while using SCUBAPRO life support equipment, we direct your attention
to the following:
1. Use the equipment according to the instructions contained in this Manual and only after
having completely read and understood all instructions and warnings.
2. Use of the equipment is limited to the uses described in this manual or for applications
approved in writing by SCUBAPRO.
3. Cylinders must only be filled with atmospheric compressed air, according to the EN 12021
norm. Should moisture be present in the cylinder, beside causing corrosion of the
cylinder, it may cause freezing and subsequent malfunction of the regulator during dives
carried out in low temperature conditions (lower than 10°C (50°F)). Cylinders must be
transported according to local rules provided for the transport of dangerous goods.
Cylinder use is subjected to the laws regulating the use of gases and compressed air.
4. Equipment must be serviced by qualified personnel at the prescribed intervals. Overhauls
must be documented. Repairs and maintenance must be carried out by an Authorized
SCUBAPRO Dealer service facility and with the exclusive use of original SCUBAPRO
spare parts.
5. Should the equipment be serviced or repaired without complying with procedures
approved by SCUBAPRO or by untrained personnel or not certified by SCUBAPRO, or
should it be used in ways and for purposes other than specifically designated, liability for
the correct and safe function of the equipment transfers to the owner/user.
6. The content of this manual is based upon the latest information available at the time of
publishing. SCUBAPRO reserves the right to make changes at any time.
7. All dives must be planned and carried out so that at the end of the dive the diver will still
have a reasonable reserve of air for emergency use. The suggested amount is usually 50
bars (725 psi).
DISINFECTION
SCUBAPRO recommends McNett Revivex. Use according to the procedure and dilution
described on its packaging.
