5.

  Repeat the process for the lower cylinder band.

See the following section to finish attaching the WTX-D 

system to a cylinder:

•  Universal Cylinder Band Setup

NOTE:

 

Apeks recommends using traction sleeves with universal cylinder bands as added 

security to keep the cylinder from slipping during the course of a dive.

4.

 Turn the buoyancy cell back over, so the zipper side 

is face up. Slide the traction sleeve 

(PN 10017, sold 

separately)

 onto the open end of the cylinder band 

with the ribbed side facing toward the cylinder. 

3.

 Turn the buoyancy cell over and place the WTX 

backplate on top with the Apeks logo face up. Insert 

the cylinder band into slot 1, bring it around the plate 

and out slot 2. After exiting slot 2, direct the cylinder 

band out the upper right oval grommet hole on the 

buoyancy cell. Make sure the cylinder band passes 

through both slots in the plate and buoyancy cell 

grommet holes.

2.

 Identify the two upper and lower vertical slots in the 

center of the WTX backplate at the top and bottom.
