The Cut-off valve is a feature unique to the Airsource, which allows the air
supply to be turned off or on by pushing the device up or down. When the
Cut-off valve is pushed down (Figure 8a), air is supplied to the hose. To stop
the supply of air, simply push the Cut-off valve in an upward direction (see
Figure 8b). The Cut-off valve eliminates the need to detach the MP hose to
stop the air supply in the unlikely event of automatic ination; simply push
the valve up to stop the air supply.

Operation of the Cut-off valve
BC Ination
Just as with a conventional inator, power (MP) or oral ination can be utilized
when using the Airsource. Both procedures need to be practiced to become
familiar.
Medium Pressure (MP) Power Ination
The power inator is a primary means for adding air to the otation cell. The
power ination system enables you to inate the BC simply by pressing the
small red ination button (Figure 9). With practice you will soon be able to
quickly make buoyancy adjustments without interrupting your diving activity.
