Deflating The Bc With The Oral Valve; Deflating The Bc With The Manual Dump Valve (When Present) - SubGear Chaleco Compensador Manual De Usuario

Deflating the Bc with the oral Valve

Assume a head up position in the water. Raise the Oral Valve above and in front of your face (this
ensures the Oral Valve will be positioned above the air bubble in the BC). Depress the Outlet button and
visually confirm that air is escaping from the mouthpiece. For best control, let air out in a series of short,
measured amounts while observing the effects on your buoyancy.
Keep sand and other contamination out of the oral Valve mouthpiece and valve button.
Under certain conditions, contamination can cause the Oral Valve to not close completely. If this
occurs while diving, shake the valve while depressing it several times. If the valve leaks or remains
inoperable, terminate the dive. Diving with a leaking Buoyancy Compensator or with valves that do
not operate properly may result in a loss of buoyancy control that could result in injury or death.

Deflating the Bc with the manual Dump Valve (when present)

Stop and assume an upright position in the water. When in position, open the Manual Dump Valve
by gently pulling downward on the Oral Valve/Power Inflation Valve Assembly. It is not necessary to
use excessive pressure to pull on the hose assembly. Valve travel is limited and pulling harder will not
increase the air flow. To close the Manual Dump Valve, stop pulling downward, and release. (Figure 4)
