Ripcord ™ release system - check bottom of weight pockets to be sure they

Bx Power Inator/ Oral Inator Mechanism
Your BC will also be equipped with a power inator/oral inator
mechanism. This unit consists of a Bx Coupler, Oral Valve Mouthpiece, Oral
Valve Button, and Pneumatic Ination Valve (PIV) and connects directly to
the RE Valve via a steel cable (inside the corrugated hose). The PIV
operates over a pressure range of 6.5-13.8 bar (95-200 psi). To inate the
BC using the PIV, attach a low pressure hose to the quick disconnect (QD)
tting and depress the PIV button. To inate the BC using the oral inator,
depress the Oral Valve Dump Button and breathe into the Oral Valve
Mouthpiece.
CHECK ALL MECHANISMS BEFORE EVERY DIVE FOR
PROPER OPERATION AND LEAKS.
Before diving, make sure that the Bx Coupler is hand tightened onto
the Power Inator to avoid water getting into the BC.
