6.
Do not use your BC to lift or bring heavy objects to the
surface. Doing so may result in a serious accident due to
damage done to the BC or an uncontrolled ascent.
For bringing objects heavier than 2kg, use
appropriate equipment, such as a lift bag.
7.
To prevent the BC from damage, avoid prolonged expo-
sure of your BC to direct sunlight or extreme heat and
keep it away from sharp objects.
8.
Do not inhale air from the BC. It may contain harmful
contaminants, gases, or dangerous bacteria which evolve
in damp places.
9.
A BC is not a lifejacket and does not guarantee a head-up
position of the user on the surface. Therefore, you should
always dive with a buddy in case of losing consciousness
on the surface.
1.
Before every dive, carefully inspect all elements of the
equipment, including the BC. For furtherinformation on
the subject, read: “Pre-dive inspection”.
2.
Do not dive with the BC if there are signs of defective op-
eration, damage or wear, such a BC should be withdrawn
from use until it is repaired by an authorized XDEEP
distributor.
3.
During diving, perform mutual buddy-check, visually in-
specting the BC against any leakages or other irregulari-
ties. Arrange checkout procedures with your buddy and
practice relevant diving signs once again
before diving.
4.
In case of an uncontrolled ascent, you should immediately
start releasing air from the BC in order to stop or slow
down the rate of ascent.
5.
In order not to drown as a result of an uncontrolled
descent, in all cases you should be able to use an emer-
gency source of buoyancy or remove the weight. The BC
CANNOT be the only source of buoyancy!
