properly, DO NOT USE!
• DO NOT inhale gases from within any Hollis BCD. Doing so can lead to serious injury or death.

regarding its functions, you should seek instruction in its use from your authorized Hollis dealer
before you utilize this product.
• Read and understand the owner’s guide completely before diving with any Hollis BCD.

PRE DIVE CHECKS
Before each dive check to make sure your equipment is working properly. If any piece of equipment is
not working properly, DO NOT USE! If damaged, return to your authorized Hollis dealer for repair.
• Under pressure, attach the low pressure inator hose to the inator and depress the inator button
to make sure it is working properly.
• Check for leaks at the connection of the inator.
• Check oral ination/deation button is working properly.
• Fill the BCD system with air and check to make sure there are no leaks in the bladder.
• Check all dump valves to ensure air is not leaking in the closed position and that the air can be
easily dumped.
POST DIVE CARE
To keep your BCD in top condition, follow these procedures, in sequence, after each day of diving:
• Fill the BCD one third full of fresh water through the inator mouthpiece.
• Inate fully, then rotate and shake, ensuring a complete internal rinse.
• Hold upside down and completely drain the water through the mouthpiece.
• Thoroughly rinse the outside of the BCD with fresh water.
• Store partially inated out of direct sunlight in a cool dry place.
• Periodically add BCD disinfectant or Steramine™ (available in dive stores) to rinse water to kill any
bacterial growth.
• Transport your BCD in a padded carrying case or equipment bag, separated from sharp items (e.g.,
dive knife, spear gun, etc.) that might puncture the bladder.
• You should also protect the ination system from damage due to heavy objects (e.g., dive light,
weights, rst stage, etc.).

ADJUSTMENTS
Most Hollis BCD’s do not require any assembly, but there are adjustments and items that can be
removed or added to your Hollis BCD to customize it for best t.
CUMMERBUND ASSEMBLY
If your Hollis BCD product comes equipped with an adjustable cummerbund, you can access the
cummerbund for adjustment by removing the top of the back pad that is attached to the harness with
an elastic loop (Fig. 1). This will expose the cummerbund ends. To adjust, pull the cummerbund out of
the harness sleave, and undo the self gripping fastener of the cummerbund (Fig. 2, 3). Reposition to
the desired length and reattach the self gripping fastener to secure (Fig. 4). Weave the cummerbund
back through the harness sleave (Fig. 5). Repeat with the opposite side of the cummerbund. Then
replace the backpad.
