1.
Remove the weight pouches from the BC.
2.
Disconnect the waist buckle and cummerbund.
3.
Ensure that the quick release buckles on both torso straps
are securely
fastened. While firmly holding the torso strap where it connects to the
BC lobe, fully extend each torso strap to its maximum length by pushing
straight up on the slide buckle.
4.
While your dive buddy lifts and holds the BC/cylinder behind you, place
your arms through the BC torso straps as if you were putting on a jacket.
5.
While your buddy continues to hold the cylinder, connect the cummer-
bund and waist buckle. The weight of the cylinder should rest on the
lumbar region (lower part) of your back.
6.
Connect the chest strap buckle. Pull on the free end of the strap to tighten.
The chest strap should feel comfortable across the chest; it should not be
overtightened so that it feels restrictive.
7.
After your buddy has released the cylinder and the BC feels comfortably
supported on your hips and shoulders, bend forward at the waist and
adjust the torso straps to a comfortable length by pulling on the torso
strap D-rings.
8.
If necessary, readjust the waistband and waist buckle so that they are
comfortably snug, but not restricting.
NOTE:
Adjusting the shoulder straps too tightly will transfer the cylinder
weight from the hips to the shoulders, restricting your arm movement
and decreasing comfort.
