Disassembly and Assembly of the Sole on
Diving Shoes 70850
Tools
For disassembly and assembly of sole on
the Diving shoes you need a 5 mm allen
key (preferably with a ball head) and a
13 mm Socket Wrench.
Disassembly
Start by unscrewing the
nut at the front of the
toe (inside the toe cap).
Then unscrew the other eight
nuts from the sole.
Remove the nuts and the washers.

Place the washers back and then screw the eight nuts (that are
located in pairs) back on the screws.
Make sure the straps are properly
positioned before the nuts are
tightened.
The nut at the front of the toe (inside
the toe cap) should be the last to be
screwed in.

This document outlines the disassembly and assembly procedures for the sole on SI TECH Diving Shoes, specifically model 70850. The system is designed for divers and allows for the interchangeability of different sole types to adjust buoyancy and weight for various diving conditions.

Function Description

The SI TECH Diving Shoe 70850 features a modular sole system that enables divers to customize their footwear for different buoyancy requirements. By replacing the standard sole polymer with a lead sole, divers can increase the weight of their shoes, which can be beneficial for achieving negative buoyancy or for specific diving techniques where additional weight on the feet is desired. The system is designed for easy maintenance and replacement of components, ensuring the longevity and adaptability of the diving shoes.

Important Technical Specifications

The system utilizes several key components, each identified by an item number:

  • Diving Shoes 70850: The base diving shoe model.
  • Sole Polymer (Item No. 70865): Used for 7 kg Diving shoes (model 70850-7). This is the standard, lighter sole component.
  • Lead Sole (Item No. 70851): Used for 16 kg Diving shoes (model 70850-16). This component adds significant weight for increased negative buoyancy.
  • Toe Plate (Item No. 70867): A structural component located at the toe of the shoe.
  • Heel Plate (Item No. 70866): A structural component located at the heel of the shoe.
  • Rubber Distance: A component that likely provides spacing or cushioning within the sole assembly.

Tools Required:

  • 5 mm Allen Key: Preferably with a ball head, for unscrewing and screwing the nuts.
  • 13 mm Socket Wrench: For tightening and loosening the nuts.

The system is designed to accommodate different weight configurations, specifically 7 kg and 16 kg, indicating the potential for significant buoyancy adjustments.

Usage Features

The modular design of the sole offers significant usage flexibility for divers:

  • Buoyancy Customization: Divers can easily switch between a lighter sole polymer (7 kg configuration) and a heavier lead sole (16 kg configuration) to achieve desired buoyancy levels. This is crucial for different diving environments, equipment setups, or personal preferences.
  • Enhanced Stability: The heavier lead sole can provide increased stability underwater, particularly in currents or when performing tasks that require a solid footing.
  • Durability and Replaceability: Individual components of the sole system, such as the sole polymer, lead sole, toe plate, and heel plate, can be replaced. This extends the lifespan of the diving shoes by allowing for the replacement of worn or damaged parts rather than the entire shoe.
  • Secure Fastening: The use of eight nuts and screws, along with a specific tightening sequence, ensures that the sole is securely attached to the shoe, preventing accidental detachment during dives.

Maintenance Features

The design emphasizes straightforward maintenance and component replacement:

Disassembly Procedure:

  1. Initial Disassembly: Begin by unscrewing the nut located at the front of the toe, inside the toe cap. This is a critical first step in the disassembly process.
  2. Main Sole Disassembly: Proceed to unscrew the remaining eight nuts from the sole. These nuts are typically arranged in pairs.
  3. Component Removal: Once all nuts are removed, the washers can be taken off. The sole can then be separated from the rest of the shoe.
  4. Component Separation: The sole polymer (or lead sole), toe plate, and heel plate can then be separated from the rubber sole, allowing for inspection, cleaning, or replacement of individual parts.

Assembly Procedure:

  1. Component Placement: Place the rubber sole over the inner sole (either the sole polymer or the lead sole).
  2. Sole Alignment: Position the assembled sole and plates back onto the shoe. Ensure that the holes in the sole align correctly with the screws on the shoe.
  3. Strap Positioning: Place the straps, leaning them forward. It is important that the straps are mounted on opposite sides of the shoe for proper fit and function.
  4. Nut and Washer Reinstallation: Place the washers back onto the screws.
  5. Tightening Sequence: Screw in the eight nuts (located in pairs) back onto the screws.
  6. Final Tightening: The nut at the front of the toe (inside the toe cap) should be the last one to be screwed in and tightened.
  7. Strap Adjustment: Before fully tightening the nuts, ensure that the straps are properly positioned.

Key Maintenance Considerations:

  • Tool Usage: The use of a 5 mm Allen key and a 13 mm Socket Wrench simplifies the process, making it accessible for divers to perform maintenance themselves.
  • Sequential Tightening: The specific order of tightening the nuts (front toe nut last) is important for ensuring proper assembly and security of the sole.
  • Component Identification: The clear item numbers for each component facilitate easy ordering and replacement of parts, ensuring that the correct components are used for the desired configuration (7 kg or 16 kg).
  • Regular Inspection: The ease of disassembly allows for regular inspection of all sole components for wear, damage, or debris, contributing to the overall safety and performance of the diving shoes.
