Oceanic BioDry Suit Owner's Manual - Neck and Wrist Seals
6
NECK AND WRIST SEALS
Your BioDry Suit has been fitted with standard size latex Seals that correspond to
the size of the Suit. If you are new to wearing a Dry Suit with latex Seals, it may
feel uncomfortable when initially worn. It should fit snugly, but not be too tight.
Try wearing the Seals for some time to determine the 'comfort' factor. Also, Latex
has a tendency to relax after use.
WARNING: Extremely tight Seals can restrict the flow of
blood, possibly causing serious injury or death.
If necessary, the Seals can be trimmed to enlarge the openings. Remember that
once a Seal has been trimmed it cannot be made smaller.
TRIMMING A SEAL:
• Insert a smooth can or bottle in the Seal(s) to be cut and allow them to
remain there for several days to relax the Seal(s).
• Remove the can or bottle and powder the Seals with talcum powder.
• Try the Seals on and trim only if necessary.
• Use long /sharp scissors to make the cuts.
• Cut evenly just above the first Molding Ring.
• Only trim one Ring from the Seal at a time, trying it on after each cut.
• Make as few cuts as possible, leaving at least 4 Rings on each Seal.
• Avoid leaving any jagged edges that could cause the Seal to split.
LP INFLATOR HOSE
• Connect the low pressure (LP) Inflator Hose to a low pressure Port of your
Regulator First Stage.
• The Suit's Power Inflator Valve rotates 360 degrees which allows routing
of the Hose under either arm.
