IN THE BCDS WITH BACK AIR CELL, WHILE BEING ON THE SURFACE, THE AIR MASS TENDS TO POSITION THE DIVER HORIZONTALLY WITH HIS/HER DOWN. IN CASE OF LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, THE HEAD REMAINS IMMERSED. THEREFORE, THEY ARE TO BE USED BY EXPERT DIVERS WHO HAVE TAKEN SPECIALISATION COURSES.

Open the buckle by rotating it until it clicks, then tighten the strap so that it holds the tank firmly (fig. 8). Partially close the buckle and reinsert the end of the strap into the first slot (illustration 9). Close the buckle completely and secure the strap with the velcro (illustration 10). At this point, the tank is held correctly (fig. 13-14).

i WARNING!
ALWAYS WET THE STRAP BEFORE USING IT TO FASTEN THE CYLINDER. THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR THE DIVER'S SAFETY- IF THE STRAP IS DRY, IT COULD STRETCH WHEN SUBMERSED AND SO THE CYLINDER MAY SLIP OFF.
Once the cylinder has been attached, keep the upper side of the backplate from 5 to 10 cm below the valves (fig. 14), so that the diver's head does not bump against the regulator.

For more information, see figure 56 on page 28.

INTEGRATED WEIGHT POCKETS The Aquawing + and Aquawing Max models are equipped with the system that allows ballast to be placed directly into their special pockets. Thanks to this solution, the diver is not required to wear all the weights in the waist belt, allowing for a smoother and more gradual release in an emergency.
i WARNING!
FOR SAFETY REASONS, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO KEEP THE WEIGHT BELT AT THE WAIST WITH A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF WEIGHT IN ORDER TO MAKE THE DIVER'S POSITION MANAGEABLE EVEN IN THOSE SITUATIONS IN WHICH THE BCD WEIGHT POCKETS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY RELEASED SO AS TO AVOID DANGEROUS UNCONTROLLED ASCENTS.

buckle that fastens the pocket with two fingers (fig. 15-16-17) and take the

pouch by the handle if you want to keep the pouch (fig. 18-19-20); otherwise, the weight will fall away by gravity. Obviously, if you want to release the weight by gravity, you will need to be in a vertical position with your head towards the surface, since it is the force of gravity that will free you from the weight. The

maximum amount of weight that can be inserted is 3 kg per pocket.

CONTROL UNIT

The control unit is the heart of each BCD, linked to the inflation and deflation

functions of the pneumatic bladder. It consists of the By-Pass, the Corrugated

Hose and the Dump Valve (fig. 53). 23

BY-PASS: The By-Pass is the terminal that houses all the buttons and the

inflation and deflation mechanisms (fig. 51); it must always be within reach, as

it controls all the BCD's vital operations. The low-pressure hose from the 1st

stage is connected to the By-Pass by way of a quick coupling. This allows the

By-Pass valve to blow air into the tank. This valve is designed to operate with a relative pressure of 1 to 15 bar, but we recommend using it with a relative

pressure of 8 to 12 bar.

www.cressi.com

i WARNING! The low-pressure hose must be screwed to the first

stage of the regulator by way of the appropriate LP or MP (LOW/MEDIUM

PRESSURE) outlet with 3/8 inch 24 UNF or 1/2 inch 20 UNF thread using an adapter. The other outlets of the regulator are HP (HIGH PRESSURE)

and have a female 7/16 inch 20 UNF thread. NEVER connect the BCD's

low-pressure hose to the HP (HIGH PRESSURE) outlet, even with the help of reducers. This represents a serious risk to personal safety.

Cressi Aquawing / Aquawing Plus / Aquawing Max

i WARNING! We recommend replacing the medium-pressure hose in the following cases:

- When there is air leaking from the rubber part or the joints with the metal parts.

- When there are anomalies in terms of shape when pressurised and

at rest. The hose must always be perfectly cylindrical along its entire

length.

- If the surface has been altered due to abrasions, friction or small cuts.

- If it has been subjected to traction that goes beyond normal use, such
as lifting the self-contained breathing apparatus or becoming caught during sudden movements.

i WARNING! Only use the original Cressi hoses supplied. If you need to replace them, we recommend using Cressi hoses.

- When it is subjected to crushing or significant impacts, even if there is

no obvious damage. The damage may be internal.

CORRUGATED HOSE: The Corrugated Hose is the cylindrical rubber element

that acts as an air duct, a guide for the cable that operates the dump valve,

and a housing for the hose (fig. 52).

Rev. 04/2023

To connect the hose to the By-Pass, grip the knurled bushing at the end of the quick coupling and pull it back. At the same time, fully insert the female
coupling of the hose into the By-Pass cylinder. Release the bushing and make sure it is properly engaged by pulling the hose gently. To disconnect, pull back
the bushing and remove the hose from the By-Pass (fig. 49-50).

DUMP VALVE: Finally, the quick dump valve is the plastic end part that connects to the pneumatic bladder in order to empty it of air (fig. 54).

CONTROL UNIT FUNCTIONS: As laid out above, the control unit allows you to control a wide range of functions. They are as follows:
1 - Inflation using button A (fig. 51). Press the button to let in air.
2 - Inflation by mouth: Place your mouth over mouthpiece B (fig. 51). Blow in a small amount of air to eliminate any residual water from the duct. Continue blowing while fully pressing button C. As soon as button C is pressed, the air will start entering the bladder. To stop, release the button. Repeat if necessary.
3 - Deflation by way of quick dump valve D, which can be operated by pulling
the corrugated hose downwards (fig. 52). The diver must be in a vertical position.
4 - Traditional deflation: with the body in a vertical position, raise the
corrugated hose towards the surface and press button C (fig. 53).

FLAT CONTROL UNIT

The quick dump valve has a considerably smaller footprint and lower weight. It is not equipped with a pressure relief valve (fig. 54).

During deflation operations, the position of the diver is very relevant to the effects of the manoeuvre. They must be vertical with respect to the surface to deflate using the control unit or the upper rear valve, while they must have their head down and more precisely the lower part of the BCD upwards to deflate using the lower rear valve. When deflating, care must be taken to close the relevant

recommend inflating the bladder a little at a time so that your buoyancy is not excessively negative and your speed does not increase excessively. When
you reach your maximum depth or your first stop, inflate the bladder until a neutral position is obtained. This position makes swimming very easy. Be very careful not to overdo it, and ideally keep yourself slightly negative. A deep

4 - A buoyancy control device is not a life jacket and may not keep your head out of water.
5 - If the buoyancy control device described in this manual is used with Nitrox mixtures containing up to 40% O2, it will require more frequent and thorough maintenance than with breathable air.

STORAGE 1 - We recommend storing your BCD in a perfectly dry and partially inflated
state and in a cool and dry place. Ideally, it should be hanging.
2 - The storage location must be removed from sources of heat or direct sunlight.

6 - No alterations, even minor ones, can be made to this BCD. Alterations are prohibited for the purposes of personal health and safety.

3 - Avoid locations where the BCD could come into contact with chemical products or corrosive agents that could affect its safety features.

7 - For the purposes of personal health and safety, use is prohibited in polluted water, water with a high level of suspended solids, and in any
liquid with different chemical/physical characteristics to water.

4 - Avoid placing other objects on top of it.
5 - Leave the control unit in an extended position. The corrugated hose must not be bent or crushed.

8 - Use of the BCD in chlorinated waters will cause the materials to

deteriorate. It is therefore not recommended for use in water with a high SIZES

concentration of chlorine. 28

For sizes, see the Fit column of the final table.

Rev. 04/2023

MAINTENANCE To maintain your BCD properly, be sure to follow these instructions: 1 - Always carry it in a protective bag. 2 - Avoid contact with sharp or pointed objects, or objects that may cause
abrasions. 3 - Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. 4 - At the end of each dive in the sea, lake or pool, always rinse the interior
and exterior with fresh water. For the interior, fill the bladder about 1/3 full through the mouthpiece of the control unit (keeping the drain button pressed), and then partially inflate and shake it. Empty it by opening the lower quick dump valve. 5 - Every 4 or 5 dives, clean and lubricate the quick coupling for the hose and the By-Pass coupling with silicone grease.

NITROX Do not use this BCD with Nitrox mixtures containing more than 40% oxygen. The use of mixtures with higher percentages of oxygen, or that contain helium or other gases (Trimix), could cause corrosion, deterioration or premature ageing of the BCD or its components, causing them to break. This could result in a loss of buoyancy control or the BCD losing its seal, leading to serious physical harm. Mixtures with a high oxygen content can also increase the risk of ignition and explosion. In order to use Nitrox or Trimix mixtures, you must
obtain, in addition to the diving certification, specific certification, issued by an internationally recognised educational organisation.
