Oceanic AIR XS II manual 6

CORRUGATED HOSES/PULL CONNECTOR

Two corrugated hoses are joined by a Pull Connector. By pulling on the rounded Pull Connector you can operate the Rapid Exhaust Valve located in the upper (shoulder) unit while you are using the AIR XS II Regulator without having to remove the Regulator from your mouth. The extended length of the Hose Assembly prevents any resistance during head move- ment.

INFLATOR OVERPRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (OPV)

The integrated OPV, located in the upper (shoulder) unit, automatically vents excess pressure from the BC during ascent or if over pressurized with the Power Inflator. This component of the AIR XS II operates automatically so no instructions for its use are necessary.

WARNING: The OPV integrated into the upper (shoulder) unit is set to operate at a lower relief pressure than the OPV located on the back of the BC to prevent damage to the material of the BC air cell. It is imperative that only Oceanic inflator assemblies be used with Oceanic BCs.

QUICK DISCONNECT CAP (SEE ILLUSTRATION ON PAGE 2) The rubber Cap secured to the corrugated hose is provided to cover the quick release inlet fitting of the AIR XS II Power Inflator Assembly. The Cap must be installed any time the Inflator Hose is disconnected to prevent entry of contaminants.
