other intensive use must be checked at least every 6 months. Overall conditions
and main safety parts such as the bladder, valves, elbow, corrugated hose, BPI
must be inspected. If any of the above parts shows wear or diminished performance

Use of gas mixtures with increased oxygen, or the addition of
helium or other substances, may cause corrosion, deterioration, premature aging
or component failure of metal and rubber parts. These actions may result in loss
of buoyancy control or air holding integrity of the BC, resulting in injury or death.
Non-standard gas mixtures may also present a risk of re or explosion. Use only
nitrogen/oxygen mixtures containing up to 40% oxygen.
