3. Close the buckle (C) (Fig. 2 – 7). If the strap is too tight or too loose, open the hook and
loop strap and the buckle to readjust the length of the strap (Fig. 2-5) of the quick-release
belt (W1). For added safety, slide the loop (SL) (Fig. 2-5) around the strap end (T). In BCs
with a hard backplate, with the tank mounted to the BC you can lift the entire unit using
the handle integrated into the backplate.
Shake the unit to ensure the tank is properly fastened.
In BCs without a hard backplate, there is a second hook and loop strap that allows you to
easily position the tank to prevent unwanted shifting during the dive.
⚠ WARNING
To prevent accidental loss of the cylinder, ensure the strap is done up tightly enough so that
the cylinder cannot move or slide on the BC. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
⚠ WARNING
Soak the webbing of the SCUBA air cylinder strap and then tighten prior to each use
of the BC. Webbing may stretch when initially exposed to water. Failure to soak the
webbing may allow the cylinder strap to loosen around the SCUBA air cylinder. This
could result in injury or death.
