Integrated weight system
LOADING WEIGHT POUCHES INTO WEIGHT POCKETS
The LTS utilizes removable zippered weight pouches. Each pouch can be filled with up to 5 lbs (2.27) kg hard
or soft weight. Once loaded with weight, place the weight pouches inside the pockets on the LTS waist, as
shown (Fig. 11). Then close the zippers, and ensure that the lower velcro closures are fastened closed (Fig.
12).

!
WARNING: The maximum weight capacity for each weight release pocket is 5 lbs (2.27 kg).
Amounts that you can actually load may be less due to the type and shape of weights being used.
!
WARNING: Prevent the weight from getting hung up in the pockets by ALWAYS using the included
zippered pouches and NEVER overloading the pockets.
!
WARNING: Inspect the velcro closures for wear before diving. Excessively worn velcro closures
may lose their holding strength, leading to accidental weight loss during a dive.
DROPPING WEIGHT POUCHES FROM THE POCKET
In an upright position, grasp the handles of both pockets (right and left). Then pull down on the handles, re-
leasing the velcro tabs (Fig. 13). The weight pouch will slide free (Fig. 14).
!
WARNING: Dropping the weights will present you with immediate positive buoyancy.
!
WARNING: Practice this technique with and without weights while out of the water.
!
WARNING: Use of the weight drop system may not afford the diver with face up flotation.
