DEFLATION METHODS USING THE i3 SYSTEM
Your BC uses the i3 deflation and inflation system. This may be different than the inflation / deflation systems
that you are familiar with. The i3 system simplifies buoyancy control by locating deflation and inflation control
in one location. In addition, when using the i3 control for deflation, it is not necessary to remember which
valve to activate for optimum deflation. Deflation via the i3 control opens all valves simultaneously venting
air regardless of your position in the water. On BC’s equipped with the i3 system, air can also be vented from
the BC manually.
It is very important to read the following instructions, and become thoroughly familiar with the correct
methods for deflating and inflating your BC using the i3 system.
DEFLATION VIA i3 CONTROL UNIT
To deflate your BC, simply press down on the lever of the i3 Control Unit. This will open both of
the Flat E-Valves simultaneously to allow air to escape the BC regardless of your body position.
Deflate the BC in short bursts until you become neutrally buoyant.
WARNING: Avoid using excessive torque when pressing the lever for the i3 control unit.
