Storage; General Specifications - Scubapro X-Black Bedienungshandbuch

12. STORAGE

Store your BC, after it has fully dried, by partially inflating and then placing it in a cool, dark,
dry, location: ultraviolet rays will shorten the life of the fabric and cause colors to fade.
Slightly grease (with SCUBAPRO Lubricant Grease), the AIR 2 and BPI couplings.
Inspection and Service Interval
Your BC should be inspected and maintained at an Authorized Service Center at least once
a year, more often if you dive frequently. Any damage caused due to failure to properly
maintain the BC is not covered by the warranty.
! WARnInG
Due to heavy usage, BCs used for rental/diving centres, professional purposes or
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
it should be replaced immediately or removed from usage, if replacement is not
possible.

This product is designed to use air or nitrogen/oxygen mixtures containing up
to 40% oxygen. 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 fire or explosion. Use only
nitrogen/oxygen mixtures containing up to 40% oxygen.
