9.1 Cleaning, Inspection, Transport and Storage
Correct servicing and maintenance guarantees you many years of reliable function of
your SCUBAPRO® S-TEK BC.
Keep the following instructions for care:
•
Fill the wing with fresh water (preferably luke warm) and shake so the water rinses
the entire internal aircell.
•
Keep the wing upside down while depressing the deflate button on the TEK BPI to
drain all internal water.
•
Disinfect the inner wing regularly (at least after each dive trip) with an approved
disinfectant specifically for diving to prevent baterial growth.
•
Rinse the outer shell and harness thoroughly with fresh water.
•
Clean all valves so that possible debris and dirt are removed.
•
Place a small amount of Christolube® or suitable silicone grease on the quick
release collar of the TEK BPI attachment.
•
Dry your BC completely before storage but do not dry it in direct sunlight as
ultraviolet rays shorten the life of the fabric and cause colors to fade.
•
Slightly inflate the wing for storage.
•
Store your BC in a cool, dry location. Do not store in direct sunlight.
For your safety your BC should be inspected and maintained at an Authorized
SCUBAPRO Dealer once every two years or every 100 dives. Any damage caused due
to failure to properly maintain the BC is not covered by the warranty.
Handle the S-TEK systems in such a way to ensure that no sharp or heavy objects (e.g.
knives, tanks, lamps, lead etc.) damage the harness, wing or inflator/deflator units.
9.2 Disinfection
SCUBAPRO recommends McNett Revivex. Use according to the procedure and
dilution described on its packaging.
