ORRECT DIVING BEHAVIOUR USING THE
BY
PASS
DEVICE
When diving with buddies, immediately warn them that your ADV is having troubles and
that you are about to use the BY PASS. Your buddies should stay at a safe distance of at
least 6 meters. If visibility does not safely permit this distance, DO NOT USE THE BY
PASS. Tow the ADV by swimming or abandon it.
When towed by an ADV that is using the BY PASS system, you must be absolutely sure
that all your equipment, gas, regulators and anything else required for your underwater
safety is in good working order.
MANAGING SEVERAL
MALFUNCTIONING DEVICES IS PROHIBITED. THIS WOULD
CREATE A HAZARDOUS AND EVEN FATAL SITUATION.
When using the BY PASS during a dive, your right hand should always be
ready to rotate the switch knob counter-clockwise
TO IMMEDIATELY
STOP THE ADV
.
When using the BY PASS during a dive, you should always be ready to leave the ADV at
any time, even cutting the tow cord.
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO KEEP THE
CARABINEER MAINTAINED AND TO CARRY A SHARP KNIFE OR OTHER TOOL
WITH YOU TO CUT THE CORD.
If you leave the ADV free without any restriction with the BY PASS on
(
the same applies for cruise control, see the previous chapter
) it will
independently start and there will be no way to stop it until the battery
dies. You are fully responsible for leaving an ADV free to hit anything or
anyone at high speed with
HIGH IMPACT FORCE
. SUEX S.r.l. is not
liable for any damages to property or people caused by either improper BY PASS or
CRUISE CONTROL use or an abandoned ADV free to run without any restriction to the
diver.
We also remind you that the BY PASS device should only be used in the event of absolute
emergency. Remember that, as repeatedly mentioned in this manual,
THAT THE ADV IS
NOT A RESCUE DEVICE!
ONCE THE BY PASS DEVICE IS USED, THE ADV MUST BE SENT TO AN
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER FOR THE NECESSARY CHECKS AND TESTS.
44.3 BY
PASS
KNOB PROTECTION
.
The by pass knob must be always protected with ist special protection
click-cap. The special protection click-cap has to be removed only when
it is necessary to activate the BY PASS SYSTEM.
Never remove the special protection click-cap for other reasons. It has
always to be in pace in order to protect the by pass knob against any accidental activation.
