BC Owner’s Manual 21.

Safety Tube (part no. AC190) This high-visibility surface signal device can be inflated to a length of 6’, and is carried inside a compact 5”x35” nylon mesh bag that can be clipped to your BC or stored in a pocket.

AirWave Inline™ Octopus (part no. RG325)

To streamline your system with fewer hoses and keep your octopus where you’ll always be able to find it, you’ll

want the AirWave Inline™ Octopus – a backup second stage regulator that is worn on your BC connected by your power inflator. This option is available separately from your Authorized XS Scuba Dealer, and can be added to any XS Scuba BC.

Dealer Inspection & Service

1.Do not assume that a BC is in good working condition just because it has had little use since its last servicing. Prolonged or improper storage can still result in internal corrosion and/or deterioration of O-ring seals and valve springs, as well as air cell seam degradation.

2.You should obtain factory-authorized service for your BC at least once a year from an Authorized XS Scuba Dealer, regardless of the amount of use it has received. This service includes a general air leak inspection and complete overhaul of the power inflator and OPV valve(s). Your BC may require this service more frequently, depending on the amount of use and quality of maintenance that it receives.

3.If the BC is used for rental or training purposes, it will require complete overhaul and service every three to six months. Chlorinated swimming pool water is an especially damaging environment for SCUBA equipment, due to the high level of chlorine and pH balance chemicals which cause certain parts to rapidly deteriorate.

4.DO NOT attempt to perform any disassembly or service of your BC. Doing so may cause the BC to malfunction, and will render the XS Scuba Warranty null and void. All service must be performed by an Authorized XS Scuba Dealer.

HAVE YOUR BC SERVICED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR FROM AN AUTHORIZED XS SCUBA DEALER. YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY AND THE MECHANICAL INTEGRITY OF YOUR BC MAY DEPEND ON IT.
