Securing the Band to the Cylinder
NOTE: Ensure the cam buckles are positioned on the bottom of the
cylinder when using a front mount set-up.
WARNING:
Failure to do so may result in the cylinder slipping during the course
of a dive.
1. While holding the cylinder secure, pull the
free end of the cylinder band webbing until
there is a very tight fit between the cylinder
mount and the cylinder (Fig. 14).
2. Close the buckle halfway to hold the
cylinder band taut and thread the free end
of the band through the open slot in the
end of the buckle (Fig. 15).
3. Pull the cam buckle closed so that it lies
flat against the cylinder. Secure the end
of the cylinder band with the hook & loop
attachment. (Fig. 16).
4. Check the cylinder band is secure by
pulling on the band while holding the
cylinder at the valve. If the cylinder band
moves, it is too loose. Repeat steps 1-3.
Verify the tension of the cylinder band prior to every dive.
