Installing the SureLock™ Weight Pouches on your BC

CAUTION: Aqua Lung strongly recommends that you do not attempt to don your BC when it is fully loaded with weight. You may otherwise risk injury due to muscle strain or a temporary loss of balance.

The SureLock pouches are installed with the plastic panel facing outward (pouch flap facing toward the BC). To install either pouch, grasp the Lobe Retaining D-ring (if equipped) with your opposite hand and slide the closed end of the pouch into the opening of the holster. Insert the male portion of the SureLock buckle (a) into the female receptacle (b) on the BC until you can hear/feel it click into place.

WARNING: Before every dive, it is important to make sure each weight pouch is secure, in order to prevent the pouches from falling out. Involuntary release of both weight pouches underwater can cause a sudden increase in buoyancy causing a rapid ascent, which could lead to serious injury or death due to arterial gas embolism, decompression sickness, or drowning.

WARNING: Ensure the soft weight is inserted all the way into the SureLock pouch. If any excess of the soft weight is protruding out of the weight pouch, it can prevent the SureLock pouch from being properly secured. Involuntary release of both weight pouches underwater can cause a sudden increase in buoyancy causing a rapid ascent, which could lead to serious injury or death due to arterial gas embolism, decompression sickness, or drowning.
