CAUTIONS FOR APA INFLATOR USAGE (APA TYPE)
In case of malfunction of APA power exhaust upon emergency such as damage of
internal wire, use oral exhaust method. If the APA inflator main unit is dragged along a
surface, for example when you reach the bottom, then sand and pebbles may jam the
APA deflation button and make exhaust operation impossible. If exhaust operations do
become impossible, either use a normal exhaust operation or use the Rapid Exhaust
Deflation to exhaust. After exiting, carefully wash out the sand clogging the button with
running water.
Cummerbund Adjustment
(1) Peel off the Hook & Loop fastener of the rear end of cummerbund which has been
folded back through the appropriate slot of the waist support panel. Adjust the
length and then close the Hook & Loop fastener. (Fig. 10)
(2) If you must make a major adjustment in length, use a different slot in the waist
support panel. (Fig. 11, 12)

Following procedures to be performed before every dive:
1. Check the Rapid Exhaust Valve threaded fitting, and make sure they are tightened
down properly.
2. Inflate B.C.J. until it feels firm. Let stand for 30 minutes. If the bag is not as firm as
when inflated, do not use. Return B.C.J. to the nearest TUSA Dealer for inspection
and/or repair.
3. It is important to have the APA system serviced every 12 month or after 100 dives
(whichever comes first). Please see authorized dealer for overhaul.
4. BC0501 - Secure wing nuts before diving to ensure the security of single and double
tank configurations.
