Scuba Cylinder Selection And Configuration; Maximum Dimensions For Scuba Cylinders - SubGear Chaleco Compensador Manual De Usuario

special instruction in cold water diving methods, and the specific use of this product
in cold water, is required prior to cold water diving (temperatures below 45°F/ 8°c). This
instruction is beyond the scope of this Manual. Diving without this instruction could result in injury or
death. Consult your SCUBA instructor for this instruction prior to using this product in cold water.
This product is designed to use air or nitrogen/oxygen mixtures containing up to 40% oxygen. Use
of gas mixtures with increased oxygen, or the addition of helium or other substances, may cause
corrosion, deterioration, premature aging or component failure of metal and rubber parts. These
actions may result in loss of buoyancy control or air holding integrity of the BC, resulting in injury or
death. Non-standard gas mixtures may also present a risk of fire or explosion. Use only nitrogen/
oxygen mixtures containing up to 40% oxygen.

scuBa cylinder selection and configuration

Buoyancy of SCUBA regulator, SCUBA cylinders and valve combinations vary with material, weight,
pressure rating, and contents. Your BC is designed to work with a wide range of SCUBA cylinder sizes
and configurations; however, the exact combination should be chosen with care, with attention to the
intended use, and with an understanding of the skill level required to manage the equipment.
Proper instruction and training with this new equipment should be obtained from a certified instructor
prior to use in open water.
Maximum single and double SCUBA cylinder size specifications (in liters) for the BC is found on a
SCUBA cylinder pictogram on the warning label. This label is found on the BC.
If the double SCUBA cylinder pictogram has an "X" in it, then the BC has been designed for single
SCUBA cylinder use only. Figure 17
Addressing the vast number of SCUBA cylinder/valve/regulator/BC combinations is beyond the scope
of this manual to describe. Consult your SCUBA instructor or retail facility to determine if your BC will
provide adequate buoyancy for your equipment configuration.

Failure to configure your equipment so that you can maintain neutral buoyancy while
diving could result in injury or death. Proper training in swimming, SCUBA diving, buoyancy
control and emergency buoyancy skills is required to safely use this product.
