WARNING:
This is NOT a life jacket or a rescue device: It does not
guarantee a head up position of the wearer at the surface. It is not
designed to provide face-up flotation in all situations; therefore it
does not meet regulations for a life preserver or personal flotation
device (PFD). If you become unconscious in the water without a
buddy present to immediately give assistance, you may suffer serious
injury or death from drowning.
WARNING:
Although this manual provides some basic guidelines for
certain buoyancy control techniques, it is not a substitute for training
from a professional diving instructor. Failure to weight yourself
properly may create a hazardous condition that could lead to serious
injury or death. If you are unsure how to weight yourself in order to
achieve optimum buoyancy underwater and on the surface, do not
dive until you have obtained the necessary instruction from your
diving instructor or an Authorized Aqualung Distributor.
WARNING:
This BC is designed for use with compressed air or Nitrox/
EAN (enriched air nitrox) mixtures not exceeding 40% oxygen. Any
use of gas mixtures with increased oxygen content or the addition of
helium or other substances may cause corrosion, deterioration and/
or premature aging of the BC leading to component failure of the
metal and rubber parts. The component failures could lead to a loss of
buoyancy control and/or pressure integrity of the BC resulting in injury
or death. Non-standard breathing mixtures may also present a risk of
fire or explosion. The use of Nitrox/EAN requires additional training,
failure to observe this warning may result in injury or death. Use only
nitrogen/oxygen mixtures containing no more than 40% oxygen.
NOTE: Become familiar with your BC in a controlled environment such
as a swimming pool, in order to weight yourself properly and to become
comfortable with using its many features and adjustments.
