in a vertical heads-up position or in a face-down swimming position.
WARNING: The OPV in the Integrated Inflator is set at a lower relief
pressure than the optional OPV located on the back of some BC models
to prevent damage to the material of the BC air cell. It is imperative
that the Integrated Inflator System be the only inflator used with this
BC. Never dive with the BC if the inflator does not function properly,
or if it has been tampered with, modified, or replaced with an inflator,
airway assembly, or shoulder dump of a manufacturer other than XS
Scuba.

by pulling on the ball and cord. This Rear Dump Valve
works best while you are in a heads-down position or in
a face-down swimming position.

upward on the buckle to loosen, or downward on the D-
ring at the end of the strap to tighten.

left side containing the loop Velcro
® snug across your
waist, and then pull the right side snug over it. Finally,
