Using the inflator
INFLATION
Inflating the BCD using the inflator valve
To inflate the BCD, press the inflator valve button (fig. 6-P). Air should
begin to flow into the BCD. By briefly pressing the inflator button
repeatedly you can easily control the amount of air during inflation.
Inflating the BCD orally
The mouthpiece is located at the end of the inflator. You can use it to
inflate your BCD with your exhaled air. It is recommended to inflate
the BCD using the mouthpiece on the surface prior to diving. It can
also be used underwater if you cannot or do not want to inflate your
BCD using the inflator valve.
First exhale a small amount of air into the mouthpiece of the valve
to purge any water that may be trapped there.
With the same breath, continue to exhale while deeply depressing
the inflate button.
Release the inflate button when you inhale fresh air.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the desired amount of buoyancy is
reached.
DEFLATION
Deflating the BCD using the manual drain valve on the corrugated hose
Assume an upright position in the water. When in an upright position,
open the manual drain valve as follows:
Gently pull on the corrugated hose (see fig. on the right). It is not
necessary to pull too hard on the hose assembly. There is a limit
to how much the valve opens and pulling harder will not increase
the airflow. To close the manual drain valve, stop pulling on the
corrugated hose and simply let it go.

WARNING
Keep the oral valve of the mouthpiece and valve button free
of sand and other debris. Under certain circumstances,
debris can prevent the valve from closing fully. If this
happens during a dive, shake the valve by pressing it several
times. If the valve continues to leak or to be inoperable, abort
the dive. Diving with a leaking BCD or with valves that are not
working properly can result in loss of buoyancy control and
injury or death.
Deflating the BCD with the oral valve of the inflator
Assume an upright position in the water. Raise the mouthpiece so
that it is higher than your shoulders. It thereby reaches the highest
point and you can completely deflate your BCD. Press the air release
button on the oral valve and watch how your buoyancy changes.
