Welcome to the world of the AMEO POWERBREATHER!
Its intelligent breathing technology turns swimming into a whole
new experience. It provides many new possibilities for swimming
with greater relaxation and freedom, as well as for enjoying nature
or increasing the intensity of your training. We wish you lots of
enjoyment and success in your endeavors.
And another thing: We want you to feel comfortable with the
POWERBREATHER from your very rst breath. This will probably
only be the case if you read these brief instructions. That is,
after all, what they were designed for.

that the system and all of its components are free from foreign particles.
// Do not use the POWERBREATHER under the inuence of alcohol, drugs or
medications that could impair your awareness or responsiveness.

// Prior to the very rst use of the POWERBREATHER, practice putting on and
taking off the POWERBREATHER.
WHATYOU NEED TO KNOW FOR SAFETY
1. The lateral headbands enable you to adjust the POWERBREATHER initially to
the approximate size of your head. There are eight holes on each side for this.
The middle hole in each case corresponds to a medium head size (g. 1).
2. To adjust the size, lift the headbands slightly at the free ends (g. 2). You can
now push them upward in order to increase the head size. If you pull them
down, then the head size becomes smaller.
3. Always adjust both sides symmetrically.
4. You can x the setting by clicking the buttons into the holes (g. 3).
ADJUSTING
THIS IS HOWTO SETTHE SIZE PROPERLY
You can check whether the headband is set
correctly by completely opening the TWIST
LOCK SYSTEM once. To do this, turn the
wheel to the loosest setting. There should
now be a nger width of space between the
back of the head and the headband.

PUTTING IT ON
2.
Open the TWIST LOCK SYSTEM
completely by turning the wheel
counter-clockwise.
THIS IS HOWTO PUT ONTHE POWERBREATHER PROPERLY
TIPS
5.
You can now hold the mouth
piece loosely in your mouth
and pull the D-TUBES parallel
over your head. The D-TUBES
should run above the ears
– approximately along the
temples.
Caution: Do not pull the
D-TUBES forcefully apart.
The POWERBREATHER is
currently limited to head
width of approx. 17.5cm
1.
If you swim with goggles, you should always
put them on before the POWERBREATHER.
4.
Now fold the D-TUBES upward
at the same time, so that they are
positioned at a 90-degree angle
to the mouth piece.
3.
Hold the POWERBREATHER in both
hands like this, so that the AMEO
lettering on the front end of the device
points upward.
ENGLISH
The POWERBREATHER stays in place
better with a bathing cap. If you swim with
goggles, then always put them on before
the POWERBREATHER.
Does the mouth piece sit comfortably?
If not, it can be moved up or down by slightly
turning the EASY FIT AIR JUNCTION.
Ideally, it should t without pressure on
the upper and lower jaws.
6.
Now x the POWERBREATHER in
place on the back of the head with the
TWIST LOCK SYSTEM. To do this, turn
the twist lock clockwise until the device
sits comfortably but rmly in place.

2.
Fold the D-TUBES forward/up
in parallel with both hands at the
same time.
TAKING IT OFF
1.
When using for the rst time, do not
use any FLIP CAPS or BLIND CAP.
2.
First, hold on to the edge of the pool
or nd a place with secure footing in
shallow water.
3.
Then sink down into the water,
so that your mouth and nose are
underwater. Inhale and exhale calmly
through your mouth until you become
accustomed to breathing with the
POWERBREATHER. Only inhale
through the mouth when using the
POWERBREATHER. Exhaling is pos-
sible through the mouth or nose.
4.
Start with an easy crawl or breast-
stroke. Inhale only through the mouth
when doing this. Exhaling is possible
through the mouth and nose. Allow
your head to lie quite calmly in the
water. Turning to the side to inhale
– as is otherwise the case with the
crawl – is no longer necessary with
the POWERBREATHER.
SWIMMING
THIS IS HOWTO TAKE OFF THE POWERBREATHER PROPERLY BREATHING FOR THE FIRSTTIME IN THE WATER
Prior to the very rst use of
the POWERBREATHER in the
water, we recommend that you
practice taking off the sports
equipment correctly.
1.
Unscrew the TWIST LOCK SYSTEM:
Keep turning until you can easily
remove the POWERBREATHER from
your head without resistance.
3.
You can now remove the mouth
piece from your mouth and take off
the POWERBREATHER.
TIPS

At rst you may be aware
of a slight resistance via the
membrane as you breathe
in. That is normal, and the
feeling goes away by itself
over time.
The mouth piece can be
easily turned upward in the
direction of the nose as nee-
ded, such as during breaks,
in order to be able to speak.
The entire POWERBREA-
THER does not need to be
taken off for
this.
TIPS
5.
Only inhale with the
POWERBREATHER if the valve
system of the D-TUBE is completely
above the surface of the water.
6.
You can gradually increase the
intensity of the swimming training.
Have fun!
SWIMMING
BREATHING FOR THE FIRSTTIME IN THE WATER
1. First, clip the two FLIP CAPS onto
the SPEED VENTS on both sides
(g 1). If your POWERBREATHER
edition does not include Flip Caps,
they can be ordered as extra acces-
sories at powerbreather.com.
2. As always, you should take a deep
breath before you start the ip turn.
3. Throughout the entire turning
movement, you should only allow
a part of the air to ow out, primarily
through your mouth. Never actively
exhale when you are positioned on
You should master this fully before you rst attempt a ip turn
with the POWERBREATHER. For this reason, rst practice the
ip turn several times without the POWERBREATHER. When
performing ip turns with the POWERBREATHER, exhale
primarily through the mouth. Never actively exhale when you
are positioned on your side or back. The following instructions
are only intended for those with practice!
FLIP TURN
THIS IS HOWTO COMPLETE THE TURN
Some swimmers turn strongly to one side. The
BLIND CAP (g. 3) has been developed with
them in mind. This is mounted instead of the
two FLIP CAPS (g. 4), on the side that points
down during the ip turn (in other words, the
side on which you turn). The other valve sys-
tem remains open. The BLIND CAP can also
be individually ordered as an accessory.
No powerful exhaling is
necessary with the POWER-
BREATHER, as some swimmers
are familiar with from ip turns
using a snorkel. Very little water
enters the system during a ip
turn, and therefore no powerful
exhaling is necessary. In
addition, it would have a coun-
teractive effect on the innovative
valve system.

your side or back.
4. Only breathe the remaining air out
once you are again in the face-down
position. This ensures that the mois-
ture from breathing, and occasional
water, cannot be discharged into the
D-TUBES (g. 2).

The POWERBREATHER is a piece of technical sports equipment that
requires a certain amount of basic care. Only in this way can it maintain its
optimum functioning in the long term.
Make sure that the POWERBREATHER is not subjected to heat, particularly
from heater fans or prolonged periods in the sun. Heat can damage the
POWERBREATHER!
1. Rinse out the POWERBREATHER
and the valve system with clean water
after each use.
2. For this purpose, the SPEED VENTS
and any Caps used are pulled upward
to remove them.
3. Allow the POWERBREATHER and all
of the other parts to completely dry off
prior to storage in the AMEO case or
the AMEO cover.
4. Store the POWERBREATHER in the
product packaging. This offers the
best protection. Any residual moisture
is able to evaporate through the venti-
lation holes.
LIMITED PRODUCTWARRANTY
CARE
THIS IS HOWTO GET LONG-LASTING ENJOYMENT
FROM YOUR POWERBREATHER
The best way to dry the POWERBREATHER is to place or hang it with the
openings of the D-TUBES pointing vertically down. The SPEED VENTS
should be placed with the opening pointing down on an absorbent cotton
or paper towel. Blow-dryers for hair or hands are not suitable for drying the
equipment. Heat can damage the POWERBREATHER!
