GENERAL PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS This product may be supplied with (2) aluminum cylinders. These cylinders DO have a low magnetic signature. They are NOT non-magnetic.

Before using this vest, you must have successfully received training and certifi- cation in the technique of from a recognized certification agen- cy (or any Military or government operated diving school). Use of this equip- ment by a person who is not certified by a recognized agency shall render all warranties, express or implied, null and void. Use of SCUBA equipment by uncertified or untrained persons is danger- ous and can result in serious injury or death.

In an emergency such as an out of air situation or uncontrolled rapid descent, it is important to remove and jettison weight immediately.

In the event of an uncontrolled, rapid ascent, it is important to immediately begin venting air from the CSAV while continuously exhaling. Continue venting air to slow your ascent rate if neutral cannot be reestablished.

Your CSAV is not a lift bag. DO NOT rely on it to bring heavy objects to the surface. Doing so may permanently damage the vest, and could result in serious injury or death.

Lubricating of parts is to be performed by a trained technician using approved lubricants only.

Do not apply any type of aerosol spray to the vest. Doing so may damage certain components, including important valve connections.

Repair, service, or disassembly is to be performed by a trained technician only. Unauthorized service will render the warranty null and void. CSAV MILITARY LIFE PRESERVER TECHNICAL MANUAL 

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Your CSAV is comprised of the following components:

Adjustable Harness - allows for size adjustments to be made for each individual diver. - evenly distributes the weight of the chosen diving apparatus on the body.

Outer container and Air Bladder - 1000D outer bag with MOLLE-style webbing for attaching mission related gear/pockets. - 35 lb. lift capacity bladder made of 200D nylon.  CSAV MILITARY LIFE PRESERVER TECHNICAL MANUAL

SureLock™ weight pouches and sheaths - can be mounted horizontally / vertically on the side of the vest, or vertically on the back of the harness. - positioning depends on type of diving apparatus used.

Apparatus Attachment Straps - female buckles are attached to the CSAV. - male buckle strap kits are provided for each of the four (4) diving apparatuses: MK16, MK25, Mariner Kampack and Twin Tank Harness. CSAV MILITARY LIFE PRESERVER TECHNICAL MANUAL 

SYSTEM LAYOUT SureLock™ Weight Integrated System The CSAV vest is supplied with four (4) removable SureLock™ weight pouches, two (2) 10-LB pouches and two (2) 15-LB pouches. This is a positive lock- ing, mechanical release weight system. Each pocket is capable of holding up to 10 LB (4.5 kg), or 15 LB (6.8 kg), respectively, of lead . Hard cast weights or soft weights can be used. The sheath portion can be attached to the CSAV using the built in “MOLLE” style straps. The weight pouches can then be inserted or removed in the same manner as other weight integrated diving BCs. When the weight pouch is inserted in the sheath, should hear and feel the pouch “click” in. This assures the diver that the weight pouch is firmly and securely attached.

Integrated Non-ditchable weight pockets The CSAV is designed with two internal pockets designed for specific place- ment of two lead weight pouches. These pockets, pictured below, are located on the rear/inside of the CSAV. Each has a secure Velcro closure. These are to be used with 4 LB soft weights for MK25 and may be used for other configurations as well.  CSAV MILITARY LIFE PRESERVER TECHNICAL MANUAL

LP Inflator Hose An LP inflator hose can be attached to the powerline inflator for open circuit diving; test operation and check for leaks. CSAV MILITARY LIFE PRESERVER TECHNICAL MANUAL 10

Inflation and Buoyancy The CSAV vest can be inflated from the pressurized cylinders, power inflator or orally. It is designed for professional use with all types of back or chest- worn apparatuses. The distribution of the buoyancy chamber provides excellent safety perfor- mance, either during buoyant ascent (vertical stability) or at the surface (natural support position with head and shoulders out of the water). The jacket can be quickly modified to fit different kinds of equipment due to the quickly adjustable harness and buckles, and the presence of interchangeable inflation systems, either by air cylinder or by power inflator.

Vest The vest is made of a rugged 1000 denier black Cordura. It is designed to provide the following functions: • Protect the diving air bladder from rips and tears. • Provide a method of attachment for the , weight pouches com- pressed air inflation bottles, and other required equipment using the MOLLE attachment system. Integrated Powerline Inflator with Pull Dump Valve The included power inflator is equipped with a valve that also permits inflating the CSAV orally. The inflator assembly is connected to the exhaust valve at the top of the airway with a heavy duty cable. By pulling down on the inflator assembly, the diver opens the rapid dump valve and is able to easily vent the CSAV for buoyancy adjustment.

Overpressure Relief & Rapid Dump Valve This dual purpose valve protects the bladder from overpressurization by opening the overpressure relief automatically when the internal exceeds ambient. The rapid dump valve can also be opened manually to facilitate rapid dumping of air.

Air Bladder The air bladder is heavy-duty 200-denier urethane coated nylon. The tested lift capacity of the CSAV is 35 LB. Its unique low-profile design is achieved through a system of RF welded ligaments that control the bladder shape dur- ing inflation. It is designed to support the diver in a vertical manner while on the surface of the water, and offer balance and stability while diving. 11 CSAV MILITARY LIFE PRESERVER TECHNICAL MANUAL

AIR BLADDER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Hardware must be removed prior to removing the bladder. Unscrew the cylinders from the cylinder connectors. Next, unscrew the cylinder connectors from the bladder.

Unscrew the inflator airway from the connector, located on the left shoulder. CSAV MILITARY LIFE PRESERVER TECHNICAL MANUAL 12

Unzip the outer jacket and remove the bladder.

To reinstall the bladder, properly align the threaded connectors on the bladder with the holes on the jacket. Stuff the bladder back into the vest and insert the connectors through the holes. Reconnect the cylinders, inflator and manifold cover. Inflate fully and let sit for 15 minutes to ensure proper air integrity. 13 CSAV MILITARY LIFE PRESERVER TECHNICAL MANUAL

DEFLATION METHODS Throughout the course of a dive, it will be necessary to release air from the CSAV using one of the methods described below. Each method uses a valve that is in a different location. The method you choose at any time may depend on whether you are making your initial descent feetfirst, headfirst, or maintai- ning underwater. Always remember to utilize the valve that is at the highest point on the bladder, depending on your position.

WARNING: Whenever you ascend, whether intentionally or accidentally, you must simultaneously vent air from the vest as needed to maintain buoyancy control. If air is allowed to expand inside the vest unchecked, you may experience a rapid, uncontrolled ascent, which could lead to serious injury or death if not immediately corrected. To re- gain buoyancy control during an uncontrolled ascent, you must continuously exhaust air from the vest until you have stopped ascending.

Deflation via the Oral Inflator Air can be vented through the inflator by holding the inflator above your head and depressing the oral inflator button. This method can be used for making an initial feet-first descent, but is not very useful while you are in a facedown swimming position.

NOTE: Depressing the oral inflator while the vest is empty may cause water to enter the air bladder.

Deflation via the Rapid Exhaust Valve

Inside the inflator’s corrugated hose is a cable that attaches the inflator to the rapid exhaust valve at the top of the airway assembly. You can vent air from the vest by gently tugging straight down on the inflator. The rapid exhaust valve provides an effective and convenient way to vent air from the vest while in either an upright or facedown swimming position.

Overpressure Relief Valve The overpressure relief valve (OPRV) is located inside of the inflator. This valve relieves air automatically when the internal pressure of the bladder exceeds ambient, in order to prevent overpressurization.

CAUTION: The proper function of the overpressure relief valve is vital in order to pre- vent damage to the CSAV bladder. Unauthorized service or tampering may render this valve inoperable, and could cause the bladder to leak or rupture. This type of damage is not repairable, and is not covered under the terms and conditions of Aqua Lung’s one year warranty. CSAV MILITARY LIFE PRESERVER TECHNICAL MANUAL 14

Areas of Adjustment

Although the CSAV comes in two (2) different sizes, the container and air bladder are the same size for both models. The harness is adjustable in several ways in order to achieve the best possible fit for a wide range of divers. The CSAV comes equipped with adjustable waistband grommets, which when adjusted evenly on both sides, can offer an extra 3-9 inches of waistband for the diver.

Rear Shoulder adjustments The shoulder straps featured on the CSAV are designed to allow the diver several additional inches of room if needed. Line up the velcro to the desired length, and then slide the straps in to secure. 15 CSAV MILITARY LIFE PRESERVER TECHNICAL MANUAL

Additional fittings Adjustments can be made to both the waist band and the external chest strap for maximum comfort. The vertical torso strap inside the vest can also be adjusted. In addition, the strap found at the back of the harness can be adjusted to provide the diver with a snug fit around the body. CSAV MILITARY LIFE PRESERVER TECHNICAL MANUAL 16
