regulator, taking care not to tangle the pres-
sure gauge hose with those of the regulator.
We advise positioning the service hose
(pressure gauge, jacket hose, and the dry
suit hose) to the left and the breathing hoses
(main and secondary regulator) to the right.
Attention!
Carefully screw the stabilizer jacket hose to a
low pressure outlet of the first stage of the regu-
lator! An eventual intake of high pressure in the
hose may cause breakage or serious problems!
Verify that the pressure gauge hose and the
regulator hoses are positioned correctly and
eventually held in the special snap hook (see
illustration number 15). After having opened
the tank valve, connect the quick-attachment
to the power inflator and, in models designed
as such, block the hose by using the bridge
on the shoulder strap.
To connect the quick attachment of the hose
to the power inflator, do as follows: Hold the
metal collar at the end of the hose between
your thumb and index finger and push it back;
push the quick attachment onto the male con-
nection of the power inflator and release the
collar (see illustration number 16).
To disconnect the quick attachment, it suffices
to let the pull the collar back and the hose will
automatically be released. (Practice this opera-
tion in order to intervene in case of continuous
air flow due to a blockage during diving).
Attention!
We recommend trying the use of the discharge
button with the power inflator in pressure on the
surface: Underwater, over inflation may cause
uncontrolled ascent, causing serious risk and
possibly fatal injuries to the diver!

Warning!
In case of dives in cold water, we recommend
limiting this operation to the minimum in order
not to run the risk of freezing of the mechanical
parts.
