Power inflator
Depending on the model purchased, your air cell may come with 1 or 2 inflators. They all operate in the
same manner:
Inflator button: Use thumb to press the inflation
button to inflate the BCD.
Deflation / oral inflation button: Use index
finger to press the button to:
1)
* Deflate the BCD, or
2)
Orally inflate the BCD through the
mouthpiece (only press the button down
when ready to blow air into the BCD).
* Due to technical wing
’s inherent design, sometimes gas may get trapped inside your the wing. Therefore
when venting gas from the air cell while diving with the power inflator,
make sure the inflator elbow is at the
highest point (i.e. above the rest of the wing) and hold the power inflator as high as you possible can
before depressing the button.
Oral inflation of your air cell while diving is a skill to be
learned under the supervision of a certified scuba instructor.
Depressing the oral inflator button while the air cell is empty
may allow water to enter the bladder!
The air / gas from within the air cell is not suitable for
breathing. Do not breathe it through the oral inflator!
Attaching low pressure inflator hose
Attach only the low-pressure hose to a re
gulator’s low-pressure
port. Attaching it to the high-pressure port can cause the hose
to burst, which may result in serious injury or death.
