The release handles on the Weight & Trim III System are made to accommodate
large hands wearing thick gloves. Given this, it is possible for a diver to incorrectly
pass the ends of the waist belt through the loops to “wire” the belt in a condition
where the weight pockets can only be released with great difficulty. Even if the
weight pockets are released under these circumstances they will still hang from
the waist belt of the Weight & Trim III System. The weight pockets will then hang
between the diver’s legs. This situation can lead to entanglement, leg or foot in-
juries, and drowning.
!! WARNING !!
Never thread the waist belt through the weight release handles.
This makes the weight pockets difficult or impossible to release
and may lead to serious injury or death.
REMOVING THE WEIGHT & TRIM III SYSTEM
To remove the Weight & Trim III System open the waist belt and pass the right
hand under the right shoulder strap. The weight will now be supported on the left
shoulder. Grasp and hold the waist belt with the left hand and let the left shoulder
strap slide off the shoulder supporting the weight with the left hand.
