IMPORTANT NOTES ON VOODOO FUNCTION AND USE
1) The VOODOO is designed operationally to be a back wing only
style BC during the submerged portion of the dive.
2) It is made up of two connected air cells, the back wing cell and
the side pockets cell. The side pocket cell is connected to the back
wing cell by a cable activated internal Over-Pressure (OP) valve.
IMPORTANT - this OP valve is set to a higher break pressure than
the external OP valve on the rear cell. Excess pressure will always be
vented from the rear cell to the outside, not into the pocket cell.
3) When on the surface before a dive, inflate the rear cell as usual
using the power or oral inflator. If you want some air in the pocket
cell, pull on the toggled lanyard attached to the right pocket. Air will
flow from the rear cell into the pocket cell. If you want more air in
both cells, keep pulling the toggle while depressing the inflate but-
ton on the power inflator.
4) To submerge, FIRST dump the air from the pocket cell via the
dump valve on the
left side of the pocket cell
. Then dump the air
from the main rear cell with the cable activated shoulder dump
valve, the deflate button on the inflator unit, or the pull dump valve
located on the right rear hip.
THE POCKET CELL INFLATION IS
“ONE-WAY”
ONLY. AIR DOES
NOT AND NEVER WILL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FLOW
BACK INTO THE REAR CELL. IT MUST BE DUMPED USING THE
TOGGLED LANYARD ON THE OP VALVE LOCATE ON THE LEFT
SIDE POCKET CELL. THE SIDE POCKET CELLS ARE NOT DE-
SIGNED TO BE USED OR INFLATED UNDERWATER UNLESS THE
