All models include a non-slip section on the tank strap to reduce/
prevent slippage.
Note: A heavy duty Stainless Steel Cam Buckle is available as an
option. Ask your dealer to install this buckle at any time. This is a
simple process – just undo the webbing from the Stainless Steel
TriBar slide, remove the plastic Cam Buckle, and replace it with the
Stainless Steel upgrade.
Removal from Cylinder
Undo the hook and loop fastener on the tank strap.
Pull back on the webbing to release the cam buckle and remove
tension from strap.
Slide the BC up and off the cylinder.
It is not necessary to completely undo the strap from the buckle.
Low Pressure Inflator
Every BARE BC comes complete with a Low Pressure (LP) hose
to be connected to one of the LOW PRESSURE ports of your First
Stage Regulator. This LP hose has a Quick Disconnect feature to at-
tach to the power inflator on the BC.
The LP hose can be attached to the regulator first stage by your au-
thorize BARE dealer. Should you wish to install the LP hose yourself
follow these important steps:
Using the correct tool remove one LP port from the first stage
regulator. Port should have a 3/8” 24 pitch thread to match the male
threaded end of the LP hose
!! WARNING !!
Incorrectly installing an LP hose on a 3/8” HP port found on
some older first stage regulators models can result in serious
injury or damage to the LP hose or power inflator. The LP hose is
rated for pressure NOT TO EXCEED 400 PSI/28 BAR MAXIMUM.
Check the hose and port thread are compatible before installing.
Lubricate the ‘O’ Ring and ensure it is properly installed to the LP
3/8” connection
Carefully insert and hand thread the connection until the ‘O’ ring is
fully seated, carefully tighten with a suitable wrench.
Install the first stage regulator on a correctly pressurized scuba cyl-
inder and slowly open the cylinder valve.
