X-Lock™ Integrated Weight System Pocket Installation

WARNING: Before every dive, it is important to inspect the condition of all connections between the X-Lock™ Integrated Weight System pockets and the BC to ensure that they are clean and free of any wear or damage that may impair their function. Carefully follow the instructions provided below to install the pockets correctly and ensure that all connections are securely sealed. Accidental release of the weight pockets may otherwise result in an uncontrolled ascent, which could lead to serious injury or death due to embolism or decompression sickness.

The weight pockets should be installed while the BC is fully deflated, either before or after it has been donned. It is easier, however, to install them before donning the BC. If the weight pockets are filled to their maximum capacity and installed into the BC, XS Scuba strongly recommends that you seek the assistance of a buddy before attempting to don the BC. You may otherwise risk injury, due to muscle strain or a temporary loss of balance.

NOTE: If the amount of weight being used does not fill the pocket to capacity, turn the pocket over to slide the weight as far forward inside the pocket as possible, toward the closure flap. After the X-Lock™ pocket has been correctly installed, a Velcro® connection inside the BC compartment will hold the end of the pocket closed to prevent the weight from shifting.
