XS Scuba, Inc
Integrated Weight System
Releasable Trim Weights
To install weight in each compartment, unfasten the Velcro
®
to open each
flap. Insert the desired weight and refasten the Velcro
®
flap.
It is important to remember at all times that weight installed in these
compartments MAY NOT be easily released during an emergency situation.
Before diving with trim weight installed in your BC, it is extremely important
to check your buoyancy in shallow water while wearing the BC attached to a
fully charged cylinder. While standing in chest deep water, completely deflate
the BC and verify that you can easily achieve positive buoyancy by ditching
your X-Lock™ Integrated Weight System pockets. For more information about
weighting and performing a buoyancy check, refer to the section titled, Diving
with Your XS Scuba BC.
WARNING: The trim weight compartments should only be loaded
with weight that supplements the releasable weight carried on your
weight belt or your BC’s X-Lock™ Integrated Weight System pockets.
Do not install weight into the trim weight compartments unless you
are certain you can achieve positive buoyancy at depth by ditching
your releasable weight while your BC is completely deflated. You
may otherwise experience difficulty ascending to the surface in an
emergency situation, which could lead to serious injury or death due
to drowning.

While holding the pocket fully open, insert the weight

loaded with weight, firmly run your hand over the flaps
to seal the Velcro
