5.2 Quick release belt backpack: Adjustment and attachment
(single tank) (some models)
The SCUBAPRO
vest. It must be installed as follows:
1) Rotate the buckle until it snaps into the open position. Slide the strap around the plastic
buckle as shown in the figure (Fig. 2-4), wet the strap before clamping it in place on the
tank, and adjust the length (Fig. 2-7).
2) If the BC has a hard backplate, place the cavity (S) of the backplate on the shoulder of
the tank (Fig. 2-6) and then fasten the strap (Fig. 2-5 and 2-7) of the quick-release belt
(W1) around the tank.
On BCs with hard backplates, the safety strap (L) (Fig. 2 – 6) is fastened at the top of
the backplate to prevent the BC from slipping downward while the strap is fastened and
closed. Once adjusted correctly, it helps relocate the right position for the tank on the BC
in an easy, repetitive way.
3) Close the buckle (C) (Fig. 2 – 7). If the strap is too tight or too loose, open the Velcro and
the buckle to readjust the length of the strap (Fig. 2-5) of the quick-release belt (W1).
For added safety, slide the loop (SL) (Fig. 2-5) around the strap end (T). In BCs with a
hard backplate, with the tank mounted to the BC you can lift the entire unit using the
handle integrated into the backplate.
Shake the unit to ensure the tank is properly fastened.
In BCs without a hard backplate, there is a second Velcro strap that allows you to easily
position the tank to prevent unwanted shifting during the dive.

Soak the webbing of the SCUBA air cylinder strap and then tighten prior to each use
of the BC. Webbing may stretch when initially exposed to water. Failure to soak the
webbing may allow the cylinder strap to loosen around the SCUBA air cylinder. This
could result in injury or death.
