• CONFIGURATION ASSEMBLING THE TANKS TO THE SIDEMOUNT:
11661-SEAC-MANUALE JACKET sidemount-totale.indb 19
PRE-DIVE INSPECTION
- Check that all connectors and valves are firmly secured, with the locking rings fully
tightened.
- Make sure that the tank and backpack are properly connected.
- Fully inflate the Sidemount BC and wait about 15 minutes. If the BC deflates, do not
use it, and contact an authorized SEAC repair shop.
- Try all the inflation and deflation functions of the inflator unit a few times. Carefully
check the correct operation of the oral inflation system using the mouthpiece.
- Carefully check that the over-expansion/quick air dump valve is functioning correctly.
- Never leave the Sidemount BC in the sun, and do not lay it on sharp or rough surfaces
that could damage it.
DONNING
- Put on the shoulder straps. We suggest that you put your left arm through first, being
careful not to become entangled in the corrugated hose and LP hose.
- Adjust the chest straps and firmly close the metal buckle.
- Adjust the sliding shoulder straps by pulling both straps at the same.
- Fasten the chest straps, if provided.
- Adjust the crotch strap buckle, threading it through the cummerbund strap.
 WARNING
Your Sidemount BC is not a safety jacket or personal floatation device and is
not designed to keep a diver on the surface in a head-up position should he/she
become unconscious.
OPERATION
• ON THE SURFACE
To increase support on the surface, we suggest you blow up the Sidemount BC with the
inflation button to increase your positive lift.
• DURING DIVE
Grip the inflator unit and press the deflation button. With this operation you'll trigger the
gradual deflation button allowing the air to discharge.
You can also use the quick dump valve by pulling the inflator unit downward. The air will exit
the valve rapidly. Once you have started your descent your speed will begin to increase.
Compensate for this with quick presses on the inflator button.
• NEUTRAL BUOYANCY
When you reach your desired depth, adding and/or releasing the right amount of air in the
Sidemount BC will allow you to achieve a comfortable neutral buoyancy.
• ASCENT
During your ascent, the air in your Sidemount BC will expand, causing an increase in
positive lift and a consequent increase in speed. You can control your buoyancy by pressing
lightly on the deflation button. If necessary you can use the inflator unit to limit and control
the speed of your ascent.
