Routing & Attaching the MP Inflator Hose (i3 Inflators)

1. After attaching the BC and regulator to a cylinder, make sure the bladder is completely deflated.

2. Route the MP hose throught the rear slot at the top of the BC bladder and down the left side.

3. Thread the hose through the sleeve behind the pocket. Remove the dust cap on the quick disconnect plug on the i3 control unit.

NOTE: Keep the dust cap on while not in use.

4. Grab the hose grip between your thumb and forefinger, then slide the sleeve back.

5. Place the fitting over the quick disconnect plug and firmly push inward while releasing the hose grip. Check to ensure the hose is securely attached.

6. To test the connection, slowly open the cylinder valve and pressurize the regulator. Lift up on the lever and listen for the flow of air into the BC bladder.

NOTE: The Pearl i3, Lotus i3, Dimension i3 and Axiom i3 are equipped with longer than normal MP inflator hoses. It is very important to use the inflator hose provided with your BC (if the hose is too short it will not reach the i3 control unit.)

Hose lengths are as follows:
XS/S – 27 inches (68.5 cm) (pn 44827) – red
M/ML/L – 33 inches (84 cm) (pn 44833) – lt blue
