Rapid Exhaust feature is a standard item on the TUSA B.C.J.’s allowing the diver to 

vent air rapidly from the B.C.J.
Procedure for activating valve is as follows:
1. Pull gently on forward Inflator Assembly to activate 

   Exhaust Valve. Maintain forward pressure until enough

   air has been exhausted to reach desired buoyancy. 

   Release pressure to close valve.

 Manual Deflation 

Procedure for Manual Deflation.
1. Raise Inflation/Deflation Assembly to a position nearest the surface of the water.
2. Press Manual Inflation/Deflation Button until enough air has been exhausted to 

reach desired buoyancy. (Fig. 8)

3. Release pressure from button and re-position hose.
NOTE: Do not continue pressing button after all air has been exhausted from B.C.J. 

Doing so may cause water to enter into inner bladder.

PLEASE NOTE: 

Rapid Exhaust Valve has a pull travel limited to approximately 1/4". Pulling harder 

WILL NOT increase air flow. Do not yank or jerk hard on Inflator Assembly to activate 

valve, or this could lead to the damage of parts and malfunction of the system.
NOTE: 

Should Rapid Exhaust Valve not operate properly, manual(oral) deflation can be 

accomplished using the Manual Deflation Button.
CAUTION: 

Do not press Manual(oral) Inflation/Deflation Button while exhausting air through 

Rapid Exhaust Valve, as this will cause water to enter B.C.J.
