WARNING
Never lift or carry the buoyancy compensator by holding the inflator. This can
lead to the damage of the compensator.
WARNING
In order to avoid an uncontrolled dive, you must be able to benefit from the
supplementary source of buoyancy during each dive. The buoyancy
compensator cannot be the only source of buoyancy in use during the dive.
WARNING
Never leave your buoyancy compensator in sunlight for long periods, high
temperature or near sharp objects. This can lead to the damage of the
compensator.
WARNING
The buoyancy compensator is not a safety jacket: and therefore does not
guarantee the user's head to be up at the surface.
WARNING
The buoyancy compensator is not a safety jacket or another means of rescue.
WARNING
ScubaTech shall not be liable for buoyancy compensator malfunctions if they
have been subjected to misuse or using unauthorized spare parts or service
made by an unauthorized person.
3. Application and use
The buoyancy compensators presented in this manual apply to recreational diving as
well as technical. They are designed to maintain the neutral buoyancy of the diver,
and are helpful in keeping the diver in a horizontal position during the stay under
water.
Buoyancy compensators are designed for use with a single cylinder or air cylinder,
with cylinder pressure of up to 30 MPa (300 psi). By contrast, the Techline Donut 22
Special Edition rebreather is designed for diving with cameras with a closed or semi-
closed respiratory factor.
