1. Slide the cylinder bands 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. Secure the upper cylinder band first to check

for proper cylinder placement.

2. While holding the cylinder secure, pull the free end of

the upper cylinder band webbing until there is a very

tight fit between the plate and the cylinder.

3. 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.

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:

Universal cylinder bands adjust for all standard cylinder diameters.
