The cylinder bungee on the Armadillo is
used to pull the valve of the right and left
cylinders into your armpits.
A right (standard) and left
post valve is recommended
for side mount cylinders.
(These are the same valves
as on a set of doubles
without the cross over bar.)
Positioning the right and left cylinders in conjunction with the divers profile (Fig. 24)
The drawing below illustrates the proper angle of the cylinder on/off knob and the brass clip in conjunc-
tion with your front and back. The drawing also illustrates the proper positioning of the cam buckle and
added weight.
Note:
The cam strap buckle and weight should be positioned between the diver and the cylinder to help
reduce the chance of a line snag.
The first stage regulators should be tilted slightly towards your front. All hoses, if possible, should be routed
down towards your front. Make sure the HP gauge is located so that it can be read during the dive.
