Weight belt

Total weight must be calculated and tested to achieve neutral

buoyancy on the surface with an empty tank. During the dive, you can

then correct the buoyancy by adding and draining the right amount of

air.

Conventional waist weight belt

A conventional waist weight belt should never be connected to the

BCD.

DYNAMICNORD BCDs are equipped with an inflator. When the inflator

is connected to the regulator and – using the quick-connect coupler

– to the inflator itself it allows for buoyancy control in the water (BCD

inflation/deflation) using the inflate and deflate buttons.

Connecting the inflator

The BCD is filled with air from your SCUBA cylinder via the inflator

valve. The LP hose screwed onto the low pressure port of the

regulator's first stage is connected to the inflator valve using the

quick connector. It can be coupled and uncoupled under pressure or

without pressure.

Attaching the quick connector:

Make sure both couplers are free of debris before connecting

them.

Pull back on the quick connector collar while firmly pressing the

hose onto the coupler plug on the inflator valve.

When the coupler is firmly seated on the coupler plug, release the

collar. Check that the connection is secure by gently but firmly

pulling on the hose.

To disconnect, pull back on the quick connector collar and

disconnect the LP hose from the coupler plug.

WARNING

KEEP THE BCD'S INFLATABLE BUOYANCY CHAMBER

FREE OF WATER. REPEATED USE OF THE ORAL VALVE OR

THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE MAY CAUSE WATER TO

ENTER INTO THE BCD, WHICH REDUCES THE AMOUNT

OF BUOYANCY PROVIDED BY THE BCD. THIS CAN RESULT

IN INJURY OR DEATH. DRAIN ALL WATER FROM THE BCD

BEFORE EACH USE.
