Seac SIDEMOUNT Anweisung Seite 15

Your Sidemount BC should never be used as a source of breathable air.
Do not breath air through the inflator unit mouthpiece.
OVER-EXPANSION RELIEF/QUICK AIR DUMP VALVE
Your Sidemount BC features an over-expansion relief valve (fig. 4).
The valve automatically releases air from the Sidemount BC when the internal pressure
exceeds the external pressure by a preset amount.
This valve is provided in order to prevent accidental over-expansion in the Sidemount BC,
which can result in damage to the product.
This valve also operates as a quick air dump, by pulling the knob on the cord.
The EN 1809:2014 standard calls for the over-expansion relief valve to be placed on the
upper section of the inflatable bag. Certain models are arranged so they can be configured
this way, with the option to move the over-expansion relief valve and/or the inflator to the
upper position of the Jacket-Sidemount.

 WARNING
If micro-bubbles leak from the Sidemount BC, this does not indicate that it is
losing pressure; instead this could be air that was trapped in spaces between
the fabric fibers.
TRIM POCKETS
The SEAC Sidemount BCs offer additional high-capacity pockets located under the
backrest that have been specially designed to hold integrated weight.
 WARNING
Carefully read the instructions provided below, because they are vital for your
safety and the lasting performance of your equipment.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The purpose of a Sidemount BC is to make diving more comfortable by allowing the diver
to maintain neutral buoyancy.
Before using your Sidemount BC in the ocean, you should test it in the pool, using the
equipment you would use for an open water dive.
First of all, adjust the cummerbund and shoulder straps to fit your body shape. Correct
adjustment helps ensure optimal comfort and stability.
• PRE-DIVE INSPECTION
1) Check that all connectors and valves are firmly secured, with the locking rings fully
tightened.
2) Make sure that the straps fastening the tank are firmly fastened.
3) Fully inflate the Sidemount BC and wait about 15 minutes. If the Sidemount BC
deflates, do not use it, and contact an authorized SEAC repair shop.
4) Check all the inflation and deflation functions of the inflator unit a few times.
Carefully check the correct operation of the oral inflation system using the
mouthpiece.
5) Carefully check that the over-expansion/quick air dump valve is functioning
correctly.
6) Never leave the Sidemount BC in the sun, and do not lay it on sharp or rough
surfaces that could damage it.
