Page 30: Bc Examination And Procedures
7. BC EXAMINATION AND PROCEDURES Pre-dive, dive and post dive BC examination helps to identify equipment problems before unsafe conditions exist, helping to prevent diving accidents. All equipment must be regularly inspected by an authorized SCUBAPRO equipment repair facility to maintain its safe operation. -
Page 31: Operation
8. OPERATION SCUBAPRO S-Tek BC’s are supplied with the TEK BPI (K-Styled Inflator/Deflator Unit). The TEK BPI, when connected to the tank and regulator by a Low Pressure hose, makes it possible to control buoyancy in the water (inflation and deflation of the BC) by using the inflate and deflate buttons. -
Page 32: Power Inflating The Bc With The Inflate Button
3. Release the collar when the coupling is fully sealed on the inlet fitting of the TEK BPI. Pull gently but firmly on the hose to check for a secure connection (fig. 14-3). 4. To disconnect, pull the Quick Disconnect Coupling collar back and disengage the LP Hose from the inlet fitting. -
Page 33: Orally Inflating The Bc With The Deflate Button
8.3 Orally Inflating the BC with the Deflate Button The Oral opening is found at the open end or mouthpiece of the TEK BPI (fig. 16). It allows you to inflate your BC with your exhaled breath while depressing the DEFLATE button. Use of this method for inflation is recommended on the surface or on land prior to diving. -
Page 34: Deflating The Bc With The Deflate Button
8.4 Deflating the BC with the Deflate Button Assume a head-up position in the water. Raise the TEK BPI unit above and in front of your face (this ensures the unit will be postioned above the aircell of the BC). Depress the Deflate button and visually confirm that gas is escaping from the unit. For best control, let gas out in a series of short, measured amounts, while observing the effects on your buoyancy. -
Page 35: Post Dive
POST DIVE Cleaning, Inspection, Transport and Storage Correct servicing and maintenance guarantees you many years of reliable function of your SCUBAPRO® S-TEK BC.
