SIDEMOUNT BC INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on having chosen the quality and reliability of a SEAC product. The
equipment you have purchased was made with selected and tested materials. Development
and constant research allow us to evolve continually.
Innovative production processes, constant controls and testing, as well as testing under
real conditions as conducted in our research centre, guarantee the reliability that all SEAC

GENERAL WARNINGS

Carefully read the instruction manual before use and keep the manual for the life
of the product.
Before using the Sidemount BC or any other product for underwater diving,
you should attend a course held by qualified instructors and obtain the relevant
diving certificate. Use of diving equipment by people without a diving certificate
is dangerous, and can cause serious, or even fatal, accidents for the diver and
his/her companions.
• During assembly and tuning of the BC, every step was taken to ensure high reliability of
the product over a period of time.
• However, these measures can be rendered ineffective if the product is not used
correctly and if adequate maintenance is not performed.
• SEAC denies all responsibility for any problem resulting from a failure to observe the
recommendations provided in this manual.

REFERENCES TO EN 1809 - OBJECT - DEFINITIONS - LIMITS
• OBJECT: The EN 1809 standard examines the minimum safety requirements and the
performance of inflatable SIDEMOUNT buoyancy compensator vests.
• BUOYANCY COMPENSATOR VEST - Definition (EN 1809): A device allowing the diver
to control his/her buoyancy during the dive.
• LIMITATIONS: The object of the EN 1809 Standard does not cover the requirements
for floating devices or safety jackets. A SIDEMOUNT buoyancy compensator vest is
not intended to guarantee, on the surface, a head-up position to an unconscious or a
temporarily disabled diver.
In order to ensure maximum attention to safety, a label is sewn onto the BC with the
following text:
This Sidemount BC vest is not a life vest, and does not guarantee that the diver will float
on the surface with his or her face out of the water.
Before using this BC, divers must attend a course held by qualified instructors and obtain
the relevant diving certificate for dives with Sidemount. The use of diving equipment by
non-certified divers is dangerous and can lead to serious accidents, or even death, to the
diver and his/her dive buddies.
This BC can be mounted on a single tank set up to 15 liters (diam. 220 mm). Read the
attached Instruction Manual carefully. Check that the Sidemount BC operates correctly
before every use. Carefully check that there are no air leaks and make sure that all
components function correctly. Connect the LP hose on the Sidemount BC to a low
pressure port on the regulator first stage while the regulator is not connected to the tank.
If high pressure is introduced into the hose, it can cause ruptures and serious accidents.
After each dive, including dives in a pool, the Sidemount BC must be rinsed inside and
out with fresh water. Store the BC partially inflated in a cool, ventilated location. A lack
of maintenance can cause damage to the Sidemount BC and compromise its proper
operation. The back side of the label shows the various buoyancy lift levels in kilograms
and Newton.
