• To remove a Wrist Seal, insert two fingers between the Seal and your
wrist (with your nails against your wrists) until your fingers are past the
seal.
• To avoid putting undue stress on the Wrist Seal, hold the Sleeve material
between your fingers and thumb as you simultaneously pull your hand out
of the Seal opening.
• Lift your arm up and out of the Sleeve.
••• Repeat the previous three steps with the other wrist.
• Using care not to get sand or debris on the Zipper and Seals, slide the
Suit down until it is below your crotch, then sit down to remove your legs
and feet.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and Storage:
• As soon as possible after diving, thoroughly rinse the outside of the
BioDry Suit and flush the Inflator and Exhaust Valves with running fresh-
water.
• Carefully sponge the Neck and Wrist Seals with a mild solution of soapy
water and rinse thoroughly.
CAUTION: Any contamination due to exposure to petroleum
products, paraffin, or other solvents may affect the latex
Seals or the butyl membrane of the Suit, and must be washed
off immediately.
• Ensure that the Zipper is clean and free of sand or debris. If necessary,
clean with a soft tooth brush and a mild solution of soapy water.
• Close the Zipper and lubricate the outside of the Teeth with beeswax or
Zip Slip.
• After rinsing, blow the Inflator and Exhaust Valves dry with low pressure
air and hang the Suit on a wide, padded hanger to dry naturally with the
Zipper open.
CAUTION: DO NOT use heat to dry the Suit, or hang the Suit
in direct sunlight.
