BC Owner’s Manual 21.
XS Scuba, Inc
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.
