BEFORE EACH AND EVERY DIVE

Make sure your buoyancy compensator is working properly
Connect the power inflator via Low Pressure (medium pressure) inflator hose to a clean air source
Depress and release the power inflator button periodically to make sure power inflator is working properly
Check the oral inflation by blowing air into the inflation mouth piece while depressing on the deflator button. do not inhale from the mouthpiece
Check for leaks at connections of the LP inflator hose, power inflator, and corrugated inflator flex hose
Fully inflate the BC and check for leaks or if the bladder begins to deflate within 5 to 10 minutes
Fully inflate the BC until the dump valve (O.P.V.) vents
Check for leaks on Over pressure valve or dump valve and pull dump valve cord repeatedly to ensure air is release easily
Check the tank/cylinder straps or adapter harness tensions are secured properly.
Make sure the webbings of the tank/cylinder straps are wet when securing the tank/cylinder. Retighten securely.
Check weight pockets are securely fastened

AFTER EACH DAY OF DIVING

Avoid repeated and prolonged usage in heavily chlorinated water such as swimming pools. Chlorine can damage the BC’s fabric and materials (including the Aluminum Backplate and aluminum hardware).

Always rinse the BC inside and out with fresh water only after every use, using the following procedure:

Pressurize the power inflator with low pressure air. this may prevent foreign debris and contaminants from entering the valve mechanism during the rinsing process
Using a garden hose in LOW PRESSURE ONLY, direct water through the inflator mouth piece with the deflate button pressed, fill the BC one third full with fresh water

WARNING: high pressure water may cause the inner o-rings to push out from its designated position causing the power inflator to malfunction.

Pressurize / inflate the BC fully with the power inflator
Rotate and shake the water inside the bladder, ensuring a thorough rinse
Hold the BC upside down and completely drain the water through the inflator mouth piece
Repeat this step a second or more time for a cleaner rinse
Rinse the outside of the BC with fresh water only
After rinsing, inflate the BC to dry inside and out
Completely drain all water from bladder through the inflator mouth piece and (over pressure) dump.
If the OPV (dump valves) or inflator connections have been opened, make sure that the gaskets are properly in place, and properly closed. Check for leaks.
