General information

Defined purpose of the BCD – intended use

A BCD is designed to allow the diver to establish hydrostatic balance

during the dive. This means that a state of levitation can be achieved

at any depth.

This is when you are neither descending nor ascending.

The SBC-20 model is approved for use with mono cylinders with a

maximum volume of 15 liters or a maximum total weight of 20 kg.

WARNING

Never use your BCD as an aid or as a lift bag to transport ob-

jects to the surface. These objects can be lost during ascent,

causing a sudden increase in buoyancy and loss of buoyancy

control.

Low pressure hose

Ask your dealer to connect the inflator's low pressure hose to an

available low pressure port on the first stage of your regulator.

The standard tank strap allows you to quickly detach a single device

from the BCD. It must be attached as follows.

Rotate the latch until it snaps into place in the open position. Slide

the strap through the center slot into the plastic buckle as shown

(fig. A).

DYNAMICNORD BCDs have a hard carrying frame. Please align

the indentation of the carrying frame with the upper curve of the

tank (1), place the safety loop (2) around the valve (fig. B) and set

the correct length (fig. C).

This way, the safety loop attached to the top of the frame prevents

the BCD from slipping down while the strap is being attached and

closed. Once set correctly, the correct position is always quick and

easy to find again when attaching the BCD to the tank.

Feed the strap back through the first slot (fig. D) and tighten it.

Tilt the clasp slightly so that the strap can no longer slip. Then

feed the free end of the strap through the third slot (fig. E).

Close the latch (fig. F). If the strap is too tight or too loose, open

the latch to adjust the length. We generally recommend lifting the

fully assembled diving equipment – consisting of cylinder, BCD

and regulator – by the cyclinder valve.

Shake the unit on the BCD to ensure that the tank is securely

attached.
