Important Information
Always carry out a full positive and negative pressure check of the breathing
loop before diving. Do the positive pressure check with both variable dump
valves in the ‘Pre Dive’ position (fully clockwise)
Always ensure both variable dump valves are “clicked” into the ‘Dive’ position
(fully anti-clockwise) before you start your dive
Check the operation of the manual inflators and ADV (if fitted) to ensure that
there is a good supply of gas to the counterlungs
DO NOT begin a dive with faulty valves or a leaking breathing loop
NOTE: Any modification to the rebreather such as substitute harnesses and
back plates can adversely affect the back mounted counterlungs breathing
performances and is therefore not recommended. Modifications will also
invalidate the rebreather’s CE Approval.
