SAFETY RULES... - Page 12 SAFETY RULES DANGER XDEEP BCDS ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE USER WITH SAFETY AND COMFORT. IMPROPER USE MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, THEREFORE IT IS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE FOLLOWING RULES. Before every dive, carefully inspect all elements of the equipment, including the BC.
- Page 13 Do not lift or move the BC by pulling the inflator hose. Perform the BCD maintenance as per the time periods Such practice may result in irreparable damage to the BC. specified in this manual. Worn-out parts in the inflator or any contaminants may trigger rapid growth of ice crystals inside the inflation valve causing the valve freeze.
- Page 15 BC ELEMENTS...
- Page 16 BC ELEMENTS BC design Thanks to its modular design, a XDEEP BC can be adjusted to every type of diving, starting with simple rec- reational diving with the use of a single tank and finishing with deep technical diving which requires configuration with a double tank set and stages.
- Page 17 k-type Power Inflator A K-type inflator is a reliable device made of shockproof technopolymer which is resistant to environmental condi- tions. The inflator valve is made of metal, which makes the inflator more resistant to freezing and it can be oper- ated much longer than inflators made entirely of plastic.

- Page 20 BC ADjUSTMENT When you order a complete BC system, you get all ele- ments connected and ready for use. For improved com- fort and safety of use you should, however, make some final adjustments of the harness straps. The adjustment description below applies to the most basic model of harness, consisting of steel or aluminium plate and one piece of webbing, which is popular among technical divers.
- Page 21 Harness straps and crotch strap are adjusted by moving the triglide fastener (stopper) along the webbing. Proceed as follows: STEP 01 Put the webbing into the slot of the stopper on the side where you want to shorten the webbing, so that there is some extra webbing in the central element of the tri- glider.
