BD BUOYANCY COMPENSATOR USER'S MANUAL
SAFety iNForMAtioN
general precautions and Warnings
This manual provides essential instruction for the proper fitting, adjustment,
inspection and care of your new BC. Because Aqua Lung is utilizing patented
BC technology, it is very important to take the time to read these instructions
in order to understand and fully enjoy the features that are unique to your
specific model. Improper use of this BC could result in serious injury or death.
Before using this buoyancy compensator (BC), you must receive instruction
and certification in SCUBA diving and buoyancy control from a Military or
government operated diving school (or any recognized certification agency).
Use of SCUBA equipment by uncertified or untrained persons is dangerous
and can result in injury or death.
Read this owner’s manual completely before attempting to use your BC, and
become familiar with it first in a controlled environment such as a swimming
pool, in order to weight yourself properly and to become comfortable with
using its many features and adjustments.
Before every dive, perform a complete pre-dive inspection according to
the procedure prescribed in this manual, to ensure that all components
are functioning properly and no signs of damage or leaks are present. If
you find that your BC is not functioning properly or is damaged, remove it
from service until it can be repaired by an Authorized Aqua Lung Dealer or
Distributor.
Your BC is not a lift bag. Do Not use it to bring heavy objects to the surface.
Doing so may cause permanent damage to the BC, and could also result in
serious injury or death due to arterial gas embolism or decompression sickness.
In an emergency such as an out of air situation or uncontrolled descent, it
is important to remove and jettison weight immediately. Do Not depend
solely on using your BC power inflator to lift you to the surface.
In the event of an uncontrolled, rapid ascent, it is important to immediately
begin venting air from the BC. Continue venting air to slow your ascent rate
if neutral buoyancy cannot be reestablished.
Do Not inhale from your oral inflator. The BC may contain harmful
contaminants or gases, which could cause suffocation or injury.
