Content: Stand the cylinder in an upright position with the valve knob positioned to your right side. The tank strap will stretch when wet, so soak the strap in water to prevent it from loosening during the dive. Lower the BCD's tank strap over the cylinder, and rotate the cylinder until the valve knob points to the BCD's right side. Make sure the strap is correctly woven through the buckle, and close the buckle. Tighten the strap if it's loose. Pick up the BCD by its handle or shoulder straps and make sure the cylinder is securely fastened and does not slip. Attaching The Regulator
The following procedures are for attaching a yoke style regulator to a "J" or "K" cylinder valve. Remove the dust cap by loosening the yoke screw. Place the 1st stage over the cylinder valve. The 1st stage's filter should be positioned against the valve's o-ring, and the 2nd stage hoses should be on the same side as the valve knob.
