Loading Weight into the SureLock™ Pouches
Aqua Lung recommends that each pouch is loaded with equal amounts of weight for optimum balance, preventing the tendency to roll to one side during the dive. Also, it is strongly recommended that each weight pouch is fully loaded with two separate weight blocks for the 10 lb pouch (load horizontally), three separate weight blocks for the 15 lb pouch (load vertically) or four separate weight blocks for the 16 lb pouch (load horizontally). For example, if you want to load a 10 lb pouch with 10 pounds, use two separate 5 pound blocks, if you want to load a 15 lb weight pouch with 15 pounds, use three separate 5 pound blocks, if you want to load a 16 lb pouch with 16 pounds, use four separate 4 pound blocks.

Loading Weight In The 10 lb Size SureLock™ Weight Pouches |
Lift up each pouch’s flap (a), and lay it back over the handle (b). While holding the pouch fully open, insert the weight (horizontally) and then close the flap. When each pouch has been loaded with weight, firmly run your hand over the flaps to securely fasten the hook & loop (c). |

| Loading Weight In The 15 lb Size SureLock Weight Pouches |
| Lift up each pouch’s flap (a), and lay it back over the handle (b). While holding the pouch fully open, insert the weight (verticaly) and then close the flap. When each pouch has been loaded with weight, firmly run your hand over the flaps to securely fasten the hook & loop (c). |

Loading Weight In The 16 lb Size SureLock Weight Pouches |
The procedure for loading the 16 lb weight pouch is the same as the 10 lb weight pouch, except that the 16 lb weight pouch has an upper and lower weight compartment. Aqua Lung recommends that the pouches be completely filled with four separate weight blocks (two per compartment); however, if you need to partially fill the pouch, load the bottom compartment first. Use the diagram for proper weight placement. (This diagram is also sewn on the weight pouch flap.) |

| Loading Soft Weight In The SureLock Weight Pouches |
| Aqua Lung recommends block weights be used in the Surelock weight pouch for the best fit and ease of insertion. Soft weights may be used, but it is critical that the weights be loaded and secured correctly. The procedure for loading soft weights is the same as block weights, but it is important to ensure the soft weights are completely fitted into the weight pouch. This will ensure that the SureLock locking mechanism can properly engage.s |

NOTE: Some weight pouches are specially pre-formed to fit the contour of your waist. Do not attempt to bend or straighten a pre-formed pouch. |
