PUTTING ON THE WEIGHT & TRIM III SYSTEM - HARNESS
• To don the Weight & Trim III System by yourself, first check to be sure
that all of the weight pockets are properly closed. If the pockets are
not closed correctly, weights could fall out of the pocket and possibly
damage your equipment or injure other divers around you. The buck-
le at the waist must be open.
• Check to ensure Handle Pins are secure and locked.
• Set the Weight & Trim III System on the ground with the back of the
harness facing you with the waist buckle open.
• While standing with your arms straight at your sides, cross your
straight arms in front of you, so your hands are pointing toward the
ground.
• Maintain this position and bend down to grab the harness by the
shoulders.
• Lift the unit from the ground and, with caution, swing the unit to the
left or right and onto your shoulders.
• With the weight evenly distributed on each shoulder, fasten the waist
belt. The buckle does not need to be worn as snugly as a standard
weight belt. The shoulder straps support the weight and determine
the position of the belt.
• The operation of your buoyancy compensator should not interfere
with your Weight & Trim III System harness. Test the operation of
each piece of equipment prior to diving. In particular, you must be
able to drop your weights without any interference from your buoy-
ancy compensator or any other piece of equipment.
!! WARNING !!
Prior to diving with your Weight &Trim III System, put on the
Weight & Trim III System and your buoyancy compensator.
Check to be sure that each of these pieces of equipment operate
properly without interference from the other. You must be able to
ditch your weights quickly and easily. In particular, check to be
sure that you can operate the release cords on the
Weight &Trim III System without interference from your BC.
Do not dive with the system unless you are able to operate
the release handle properly.
