Care And Maintenance Of The Icaro And Icaro Tech Stabilizing Jackets - Seac Sub ICARO Manual De Usuario

ENGLISH
Attention!
It is strictly necessary to regulate hydrostatic
balance during the ascent in order to avoid
rising too quickly. Consult with your instructor or
your diving manual for further information
concerning this necessity. Always follow the
required regulations and those dictated by your
underwater computer or your decompression
tables during each phase of diving.
Having reached the surface, you can completely
inflate the bags and remain comfortable while
waiting for your boat to pick you up. Remember
that there is no danger of inflating the bag too
much on the surface because the overpressure
valves release excess air pressure.
In case of a need to attract attention, you can
use the DIN standard dual tone whistle inclu-
ded (see illustration 19).

In order to remove the stabilizing jacket, you
must open the waist buckle and unfasten the
sternal buckle on your chest with two fingers,
while a simple movement to separate the
shoulder straps will facilitate its removal (see
illustration 20)

How to loosen the shoulder straps while
removing jacket
If weight pockets are used, we advise, first of
all, the removal of the internal net pockets
that contain the weights, and then unhook
the relative strap that connects it to the
shoulder straps.
Once having reached the surface, you must
remove the hose connected to the power
inflator and unfasten the locking belts for the
tank in order to disassemble the stabilizing
jacket from the tank.
Care and maintenance of the
ICARO and ICARO TECH
stabilizing jackets
In order to maintain your stabilizing jacket
perfectly efficient, you must follow the follo-
wing precautions.
1. First of all, ensure that all eventual water
residues have been released during the dive.
Following each dive, including those in
pools or in fresh water like lakes or rivers,
the stabilizing jacket must be rinsed out-
side with fresh running water. The use of
de-mineralized water is recommended.
Holding open the overpressure valve, let
the fresh water filter inside. Then inflate
and turn over the stabilizing jacket, sha-
king it back and forth to circulate the
