contamination of the power Inflation Valve can result in improper operation. This may
cause a loss of buoyancy control or air holding ability that could result in injury or death.
• To avoid contamination, treat your Power Inflation Valve in the same manner as your SCUBA
regulator second stage.
• While cleaning the BC, it is recommended to leave your regulator connected to a SCUBA
cylinder and pressurized. Keep the pressurized LP hose connected to the Power Inflation
Valve.
• While cleaning the BC, do not depress the Power Inflation Valve if it is unpressurized, as
contamination may result.
• Never fully inflate the BC with the Power Inflation Valve when internally washing the BC. Water
inside may not expel quickly enough to prevent damage to the bladder or airway.

Store your BC, after it has been fully dried, by partially inflating and then placing it in a cool, dark, dry
location. Keep sharp objects from coming in contact with the BC. Do not rest heavy objects on the BC
and avoid dragging it over rough surfaces. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure to direct sunlight
or excessive heat. The sun's ultraviolet rays will shorten the life of the fabric and cause colors to fade.

Inspection and service Interval

Your BC should be inspected and maintained at an Authorized SUBGEAR dealer at least once a year,
more often if you dive frequently. Any damage caused by your failure to properly maintain your BC is not
covered by the warranty. For a list of authorized SUBGEAR dealers go to www.subgear.com.

cleaning and Lubrication

Use only a soft cloth with fresh water and mild soap for cleaning. Chemicals, strong detergents, and
special cleaning solutions could damage the BC or shorten its life.
Periodically lubricate the Quick-Disconnect Plug and the Coupling O-ring with a silicone, such as Dow
Corning® 555 or a Teflon based lubricant such as ChristoLube. Any other part lubrication should be
performed by an Authorized SUBGEAR dealer.
