BASIC SETUP
Note: The terms “hook,” “loop,” and “hook & loop” are used through-
out this manual. Hook & Loop is commonly known as Velcro®, which
is a trademarked brand of hook & loop. Many of the BC’s components
have hook & loop attachments, including the waistband, cylinder bands,
and weight pouch flaps.
Aqua Lung/SeaQuest recommends that you bring your buoyancy com-
pensator, together with your regulator, to your authorized dealer for the
installation of the low pressure (LP) inflator hose and other accessories.
The retailer can also answer any questions you may have pertaining to
the information in this manual. If it is not possible to return the BC with
your regulator to your authorized dealer, you may install the LP quick
disconnect inflator hose by carefully performing the steps in the following
procedure.
Attaching the LP Hose to the First-Stage
WARNING: DO NOT connect the inflator hose to a high
pressure (HP) port (greater than 200 psi / 14 bar). This may
cause the hose to burst when pressurized, which can result
in serious injury. If you are unsure which regulator port is
low pressure (LP) or high pressure (HP), consult your regu-
lator owner’s manual or your dealer before attaching the
hose.
1. Remove the inflator hose from the power infla-
tor body by gripping the grooved sleeve over the
quick disconnect coupling with your thumb and
forefinger and sliding the sleeve back (Fig. 1).

2. Remove the port plug
from a low pressure (LP)
port on the regulator us-
ing an appropriately sized
wrench (Fig. 2).
3. Check to ensure the O-ring is present and in good
condition, and screw the threaded end of the hose
into the port. Tighten to 40 inch-pounds (46 kg/cm)
with a ⁹⁄₁₆” wrench (Fig. 3).
