1.3 Dive Warnings
WARNING
DO NOT DIVE with a BC that is damaged, leaks air or does not function properly. Terminate
any dive as safely and quickly as possible if the BC becomes damaged, leaks gas or does
not function properly.
WARNING
Special instruction in cold water diving practices and the specific use of this product in cold
water is required prior to cold water diving (temperatures below 10°C/50°F). This instruction
is beyond the scope of this manual.
WARNING
This product is designed to use air or helium/nitrogen/oxygen mixtures containing up to 40%
oxygen. Use of gas mixtures with increased oxygen, or the addition of other substances,
may cause corrosion, deterioration, premature aging or component failure of metal and
rubber parts. These actions may result in loss of buoyancy control or air holding integrity of
the BC, resulting in injury or death. Non standard gas mixtures may also present a risk of
fire or explosion.
WARNING
The assembly of the system should only be done by a trained person such as an Authorized
SCUBAPRO Dealer to avoid incorrect assembly. After the assembly, a final inspection must
be performed by an Authorized Dealer. Incorrect installation can cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING
Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure to chlorinated water, such as swimming pools.
Wash your BC immediately after any use in chlorinated water. Chlorinated water can
oxidize fabrics and materials on your BC, thereby shortening the life of the BC as well as
cause colors to fade. Damage and fading from prolonged exposure to chlorinated water is
specifically not covered under warranty.
WARNING
Do not use your BC as an assist or ‘’lift bag’’ for bringing objects to the surface. These
objects may be lost during the ascent, creating a sudden increase in buoyancy and loss of
buoyancy control.
WARNING
THIS BC IS NOT A LIFE JACKET OR A RESCUE DEVICE.
Emergency face up floatation may not be provided for all wearers and in all conditions.
