I just assembled my brand new Genesis 2.2. It came with 4 orange locking strips for locking the tail to the body.
The manual just says to press the tail on and then insert the locking strips. It doesn't say how many to use or if direction you insert them is important.
Am I supposed to insert one locking strip on each side and keep the other 2 as spares?
Or do I insert 2 into each slot, one wrapping one direction around the tail and the other going the other way?
All 4 have a piece of tape around one end. Is the tape meant to stick out of the slot once the locking strip is fully inserted, to make it easy to pull the locking strip back out? I think that must be what it's for.
The manual does have a Post Dive section, which says this:
"If a rinse bath is not available, remove one orange plastic locking strip between the tail and the body, rinse the strip and direct the flow of fresh water from a hose, into the slot for a minute or two. Reinstall the first strip and repeat the process with the second strip removed and then rinse the rest of the DPV."
That seems to imply that only 2 locking strips are used.
