CORRUGATED HOSES/PULL CONNECTOR
Two corrugated hoses are joined by a Pull Connector. By pulling on the rounded Pull Connector you can
operate the Rapid Exhaust Valve located in the upper (shoulder) unit while you are using the AIR XS II
Regulator without having to remove the Regulator from your mouth. The extended length of the Hose As-
sembly prevents any resistance during head movement.
INFLATOR OVERPRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (OPV)
The integrated OPV, located in the upper (shoulder) unit, automatically vents excess pressure from the BC
during ascent or if over pressurized with the Power Inflator. This component of the AIR XS II operates auto-
matically so no instructions for its use are necessary.
WARNING: The OPV integrated into the upper (shoulder) unit is set to operate
at a lower relief pressure than the OPV located on the back of the BC to prevent
damage to the material of the BC air cell. It is imperative that only Oceanic
inflator assemblies be used with Oceanic BCs.
QUICK DISCONNECT CAP (SEE ILLUSTRATION ON PAGE 2)
The rubber Cap secured to the corrugated hose is provided to cover the quick release inlet fitting of the
AIR XS II Power Inflator Assembly. The Cap must be installed any time the Inflator Hose is disconnected to
prevent entry of contaminants.
INFLATOR OPERATION
WARNING: If you ever hear air, or see bubbles, escaping from the area around
any of the AIR XS II's connectors, or if the BC fails to hold air, immediately
terminate or postpone the dive until the BC and AIR XS II can be serviced by
an Authorized Oceanic Dealer. You must not dive with an AIR XS II or BC that
exhibits any signs or symptoms of leakage.
