Ination Methods
Oral Ination
To orally inate your BC, place your lips on the oral inator
mouthpiece (Fig. 1a) and exhale a small amount of air into
the mouthpiece to purge any water that may still be in the
housing. While continuing to exhale into the mouthpiece,
depress the oral inator button (Fig. 1b) to inate the BC.
Immediately after exhaling, release the oral inator button to
prevent air from escaping.

Power Ination
For the power inator to operate,
the medium pressure (MP) inator
hose must be connected. To
connect the MP hose, grip the
grooved sleeve at the connection
tting with your thumb and
forenger, and slide the sleeve
back. Place the tting over the
quick disconnect plug (Fig. 1c), and
rmly push inward while releasing
the sleeve. Check to ensure that
the hose is securely attached.
After the hose is attached to the
power inator, pressurize the rst
stage regulator by slowly opening
the cylinder valve.
WARNING: Do not rely on the power inator as the only means
to inate your BC. It is important to practice the technique for
orally inating your BC so that you are prepared for any type of
malfunction or out of air situation that could render the power
inator inoperable. You may otherwise be unable to achieve
positive buoyancy in an emergency, which could lead to seri-
ous injury or death.
To inate your BC with medium pressure air, depress the
power inator button (Fig. 1d). Do not hold the inator button
depressed continuously underwater, as this could cause you
to become excessively buoyant. Instead, depress the button
in short bursts until you become neutrally buoyant.
