Emergency Procedures

Problem Management

Inator problem

Inators may fail due to foreign material in the mechanism, damage from impact by

tanks or weights, or other causes. Practice the procedures below (in a safe location

with your buddy) for your safety.

Inator fails to operate

Check to see that the low pressure hose is properly connected. Orally inate the

bladder if necessary to establish proper buoyancy.

Inator valve sticks open

Should the inator valve stick open, causing an uncontrolled lling of the bladder and/

or excessive leakage of air at the inator, hold exhaust valve open and over your head

to vent excess air as you disconnect the low pressure hose from the inator. Abort the

dive.

Exhaust valve or over pressure valve sticks open

If the exhaust valve on the inator sticks open, hold the inator in the lowest position

possible, to allow the bladder to hold air from that level up. Abort the dive and attempt

to swim slowly, 1 ft per 2 sec (0.3 m per 2 seconds), or less, to the surface. Should

excessive negative buoyancy be created, your weights may need to be released.

Weight release at depth should only be done according to the standards set by your

certication agency.

Failure to hold air

If for any reason the system should fail to hold an adequate amount of air to provide

necessary buoyancy, abort the dive and attempt to swim slowly, 1 ft per 2 seconds (

.3 m per 2 seconds) or less, to the surface. Should excessive negative buoyancy be

created, your weights may need to be released. Weight release at depth should only

be done according to the standards set by your certication agency.

The above is based on recreational no decompression diving. Decompression divers

must have complete redundant systems to handle all problems underwater.

If at any time abnormal performance or malfunction is experienced, the

system must be serviced by an authorized Zeagle Dealer prior to any

further use.
