USE OF SCUBA EQUIPMENT BY UNCERTIFIED OR UNTRAINED PERSONS IS DANGEROUS AND CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. • Before using this BC, it is important to completely read and understand all of the instructions provided in this owner’s manual, any accompanying inserts, and labels or markings affixed to the BC. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DO NOT COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CONSULT YOUR AUTHORIZED XS SCUBA DEALER. • Before diving with this BC in open water, it is important to familiarize yourself with it first in confined shallow water with the assistance and supervision of an instructor or experienced buddy. DO NOT ENTER OPEN WATER UNTIL YOU HAVE WEIGHTED YOURSELF PROPERLY AND HAVE BECOME COMFORTABLE WITH USING ALL OF ITS FEATURES AND ADJUSTMENTS. • Before every dive, perform a complete pre-dive inspection following the instructions provided in this manual. Check to ensure that all valves are functioning properly and no signs of damage or leaks are present. IF ANY SIGNS OF DAMAGE OR MALFUNCTION ARE FOUND, DO NOT DIVE WITH THE BC UNTIL IT HAS RECEIVED SERVICE FROM AN AUTHORIZED XS SCUBA DEALER. • Before entering the water, check to ensure that you can remove and ditch your weight quickly and easily, without any obstruction or entanglement with any hoses or accessories. IN THE EVENT OF AN OUT OF AIR EMERGENCY OR UNCONTROLLED DESCENT, DO NOT HESITATE TO REMOVE AND DITCH WEIGHT. • DO NOT USE YOUR BC TO LIFT HEAVY OBJECTS TO THE SURFACE. Doing so may cause permanent damage to the BC, and could easily result in an uncontrolled ascent. • DO NOT over inflate your BC or rely on using the power inflator to lift yourself toward the surface. Control all ascents. A RAPID, UNCONTROLLED ASCENT MAY CAUSE ARTERIAL GAS EMBOLISM OR DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS, AND COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY...
