3 - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Refer to the cover of this user guide and
follow the instructions in points
3.1 Use
The purpose of a buoyancy compensator is to improve your comfort by giving you
neutral buoyancy at depth.
Your buoyancy is neutral when you maintain a specific depth without making any major physical
effort not to sink or float up. This inflatable compressed air compensator lets you return to the
surface and stay there safely.
WARNING: Do not use your buoyancy compensator to help you return to the surface
or carry objects up to the surface. Such objects could be lost during the ascent, which
would create a sudden increase in buoyancy and loss of control.
The TRIBORD buoyancy compensator fastener can be used with 6-litre diving bottles minimum to
18 litres maximum. The buoyancy of the BC is shown on the marking in the compensator's pocket.
Mounting the buoyancy compensator to the bottle:
Î If necessary, pass the back strap through the black loop, following the arrows and numbers
1 to 4 marked on the loop. Pass the back strap around the bottle
Make sure you position the backpad on the bottle properly.
Î Pass the top strap around valve
ATTENTION: ALWAYS CARRY OUT THE ASSEMBLY WITH A MOIST STRAP to
avoid it slipping.
ATTENTION: To avoid accidental loss of the bottle, make sure the strap is tight enough
so that the bottle cannot move or slide once attached to the buoyancy compensator.
Failure to follow this rule could lead to injury or death.
Î Then take the hose (Direct System - DS) connected to a medium pressure outlet (LP) from
the first stage of the regulator. Connect the end of the DS hose to the inflator
it's properly attached.
The compensator is designed for use with an air pressure of 6 to 12 bars. A higher pressure
could harm the product as well as the user.
WARNING: This product is designed for use with air or nitrogen/oxygen mixtures
containing up to 40% oxygen. The use of gas mixtures containing a higher proportion of
oxygen, or additional helium or other substances, may cause corrosion, deterioration,
premature ageing or failure of metal or polymer components. That could result in a loss
of buoyancy control, or the integrity of air retention of the buoyancy compensator, which
could lead to injury or death. Non-standard gas mixes could also present a risk of fire
or explosion.
