Final Check
Attach the Quick disconnect fitting to
the SS1 by sliding back the sleeve and
pushing it onto the metal nipple of the
SS1 (Fig. 8), then release the sleeve.
This may be done before or after the air
is turned on. Slowly turn on the air. Test
the SS1 for inflation of the BCD, and
deflation using the deflation button.
Fully inflate the BCD and leave inflated
for a few minutes to check for leaks
around the corrugated hose and fittings.
If there was a cable dump attached to the
SS1, fully inflate the BCD and pull the
corrugated hose to check for proper
operation. Lastly, check the breathing
operation of the SS1 regulator.

SET-UP / DIVE OPERATION
Operation of the SS1 is the same
as any conventional inflator.
Pneumatic inflation is done by
depressing the smaller, oval shaped
inflation button. Deflation is done
by holding the SS1 overhead and
partially depressing the larger
deflation button. The SS1 can be
manually (orally) inflated by fully
depressing the deflation button and
exhaling air into the mouthpiece.
Fully depressing the button seals
off the regulator exhaust valve and
directs the exhaled air into the BCD
to inflate it. Release the deflation
button to keep the air in the BCD
(Fig. 9).
If your BCD is fitted with a cable
type dump, it should function the
same as your old inflator.
