Storage - Scubapro REBEL BC Manual Del Usuario

8. Check quick release weight pockets or systems that retain weight (if your BC is equipped
with them). Make sure that their retention systems are fully engaged and attached : they
have to be released, and the weight removed from your equipment, quickly.
9. Cross check all valves' operation and visually inspect your BC with your dive partner
before each dive, prior to entering the water.
⚠ WARNING
DO NOT DIVE with a BC that is damaged, leaks air, or does not function properly.
Terminate any dive as safely and quickly as possible if the BC becomes damaged, leaks
air, or does not function properly.
Post-Dive : BC Cleaning and examination and Storage
With proper care and service, your BC should provide years of enjoyment.
Maintenance and care procedures must be observed and are as follows:
1. Rinse the BC thoroughly inside and out with fresh water after every use (do not use any
aggressive solvent and/or cleansing liquid).
• Fill the BC Inner Bladder, approximately 1/4 full with clean fresh water through the Oral
valve.
• Orally inflate the BC and shake to distribute water inside of the BC.
• Hold the BC upside down, depress the Oral Valve Button, and allow all water and air to
drain from the Oral Valve mouthpiece.
• Repeat one or two more times.
• Rinse the entire BC with fresh water by dipping in a tub or spraying with a hose.
• Rinse all valves to make sure all sand and other debris is removed.
• Disinfection: SCUBAPRO recommends McNett Revivex. Use according to the procedure
and dilution described on its packaging.
2. Dry the BC: if hanging, make sure it is not in direct sunlight. Dry completely if storing,
slightly inflated.
⚠ WARNING
Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure to chlorinated water, such as in swimming pools.
Wash your BC immediately after any use in chlorinated water. Chlorinated water can
oxidize fabrics and materials on your BC, thereby shortening their life, and cause colors
(especially neon) to fade. Damage and fading from prolonged exposure to chlorinated
water is specifically not covered under warranty.

11. STORAGE

Store your BC, after it has fully dried, by partially inflating and then placing it in a cool, dark,
dry, location: ultraviolet rays will shorten the life of the fabric and cause colors to fade.
Slightly grease (with SCUBAPRO Lubricant Grease) the BPI couplings.
Inspection and Service Interval
Your BC should be inspected and maintained at an Authorized Service Center at least once
a year, more often if you dive frequently. Any damage caused due to failure to properly
maintain the BC is not covered by the warranty.
