curved hanger.

Do not leave a neoprene suit
folded in a damp condition for
longer than is necessary.

impact on the life of the suit.

inspection routines as detailed
in this manual.

Valve / Loop Maintenance

Periodically ush the valve and
tubes through with clean fresh
water.

Inspection Intervals

The suit should be inspected by
a responsible person prior and
post every dive.

If the suit is stored for any
length of time the suit should
be thoroughly checked and
ow tested prior to
re-commissioning and use.

In order to carry out this
procedure it is not necessary to
remove the valve from the suit.

Version 1.2/0418

Repairs

Simple repairs to the suit may
be carried out with a quality
neoprene adhesive.

Modications

the suit be modied without
the knowledge and consent of
the manufacturer.

Safe Disposal

When a suit has reached the
end of its natural life, the
correct method of disposal
will depend on the laws
and regulations within your
country.

Please ensure you dispose of
this suit in a thoughtful and
careful way.

For suits that may have become
contaminated with chemicals,
additional expert advice should
be sought.

Recycling

Please be aware that
the suit valve is easy to
remove and therefore
re-useable.

This is a unique feature of the
Aquatherm

TM

Hot Water Suit.

Before disposal, as an
additional safety measure, we
advise you cut the suit in half.

Version 1.2/0418

Recycling part of the suit at
end of life is not only better for
the environment but allows
for a cost saving in equipment
purchase.
