DiverGuard® is designed to be easily attached by any diver to any standard low-pressure inflator hose like those currently in use throughout the world.
If, after carefully studying these instructions and watching the video instructions at www.DiverGuard®.com, you are still not sure whether you can mount DiverGuard® correctly onto your own equipment, please ask for installation help at a local dive shop, or wherever you purchased DiverGuard®.
Preparation
- Make sure your DiverGuard® does not have any obvious external damage.
- Connect DiverGuard® to the low-pressure inflator hose and observe as it runs a self-test.
- If the self-test ends with three flashes, go to step 5.
- If the self-test ends with fast, short blinks, please return the product to the shop for repair.
- Disconnect DiverGuard® from the low-pressure inflator hose.
Disconnecting the Old Inflator
- Disconnect the old inflator by cutting the cable tie that binds the low-pressure inflator hose to the inflator.
- Pull the inflator off the hose.
- If there is a cord in the inflator hose, remove the metal pin from the inflator and release the cord.
Connecting DiverGuard®
- Please check your old buoyancy compensator inflator hose diameter. There are two standard sizes for buoyancy compensator hoses. The DiverGuard® fits the smaller size. An adapter is supplied to fit the wider size. If DiverGuard® fits directly onto your BC hose, proceed to the next step. Otherwise skip to step 13 and return to step 10 after you have completed it.
- If you disconnected the cord from the inflator in step 8, you now need to reconnect the cord to DiverGuard®.
- Remove the metal pin from DiverGuard®.
- Thread the metal pin through the loop at the end of the cord and return the pin to its place.
- If your BC hose is wider than the DiverGuard® connector please use the adapter provided with your DiverGuard®. The adapter should be placed such that the DG logo is in the same direction as the DiverGuard® logo on the device.
- Push DiverGuard®’s plastic tube into the low-pressure inflator hose.
- Tighten the cable tie around the rubber hose to secure it to DiverGuard®’s plastic tube.
