If you decide to use a buoy pocket, the next step is the installa-

tion of the pocket on the backplate. For the assembly, use the

flat-headed bolts provided. Lay the backplate down in front of

you, and place the pocket on it so that you can see the logo. The

straps of the backplate should fit in the narrowing on the pocket.

Continue by bolting the pocket to the backplate with the bolt head

facing you, and with the nut on the other side of the backplate (by

the wing). The padding provided goes under the bolt nuts. We rec-

ommend tightening the bolts firmly, and securing them by flatten-

ing. We recommend using all eight bolts on the pocket perimeter.

This will prevent the pocket from creasing and causing discomfort,

and the buoy will be well secured.

Assembly of the compensator using a double cylinder

Using a double cylinder requires only one adjustment – attaching

a buoy pocket to the backplate. Follow the same procedure as

in the case of single cylinder (described above). Before tightening the two lower bolts (close to the pocket

opening), we recommend trying to attach the double cylinder to the compensator. It is important to determine

whether you can bolt the wing nut on the bolt that comes through the double cylinder bands. If it is difficult

(usually it is in the case of the lower bolt), we recommend not using one of the bolts on the lower edge of the

backplate. Removing the unfastened side of the pocket allows you to reach the bolt, and attach the double

cylinder to the backplate.

Tips

Gear fitting: Attach the cylinder to the compensator. The procedure

depends on whether you use a single or double cylinder, and whether

you use an adapter for a single cylinder or attach the cylinder directly

to the compensator.

Attaching inflator: Pass the low-pressure inflator hose under the two

rubber bands on the wrap hose. Continue by passing it under the rub-

ber band on the left strap of the backplate above the D-ring, and attach

it to the inflator. This will ensure that the inflator is oriented to your neck,

close to the collarbone where it will not interfere with the rest of the

gear, and where you can easily find it.

Adaptor for a single cylinder: The CUB/RING wings do not require

using singe-cylinder adaptors.

Inspection Before Each Use

Correct attachment of the inflator hose

We recommend an overall visual inspection before each use. It is good idea to check whether the safety valve

and cap nut on the inflator´s joint are well tightened. If not, tighten well. Check the function of inflating and

deflating, and the overpressure valve. Test the sealing of the whole system in the water.

Maintenance

After diving in the ocean, rinse the gear thoroughly with fresh water. The salt crystals might damage the inflator

or safety valve, and cause them to become non-functional. If the compensator is dirty, clean it while paying

special attention to the inflation mechanism and safety valve. No other maintenance is necessary. After every

dive, pour out the water that gets into the wing during deflation.

Storage

Store the buoyancy compensator in a dry, dark place in such a way that the wing cover and hoses are not

strained in any way. We recommend laying the wing out on a flat board.
