English

1. Remove the free end of the cylinder band from

the outer slot on the buckle.

WARNING:

The cylinder band will initially stretch as it becomes wet. Always wet the band

before making the final adjustment; apply enough tension to ensure that the cylinder is

completely secure. Test this connection before every dive. If the cylinder slips free from

the BC during the dive, you may loose your air supply, which could lead to serious injury

or death.

NOTE:

BC cylinder bands adjust for all standard cylinder diameters: 6.9 in (17.5 cm), 7.25

in (18.5 cm), and 8.0 in (20.3 cm). The cylinder bands are properly threaded to the buckles

when the BC leaves the factory. If rethreading is necessary, follow the procedure in the section:

Threading the Cylinder Band.

NOTE:

Your BC may come equipped with a tank positioning strap. This strap allows you to place

the BC in the proper position for perfect tank placement. Place the tank positioning strap over the

cylinder valve and adjust as needed.

SECURING THE BAND TO THE CYLINDER

2. Wet the cylinder band and then slide it over the cylinder so that the BC is at the desired position in

relation to the cylinder valve. Make sure the cylinder valve air outlet is facing the back of the BC.
