OCEANIC CONSUMER NOTICE STOP PRODUCT USE
BUOYANCY COMPENSATOR INFLATORS
Oceanic has been informed by its supplier that they have received
isolated reports of BC Inflator mechanisms exhibiting continual flow
of air into the BC after release of the power inflation button.
Affected are Oceanic Reliant model Inflators that are fitted on
various models of Oceanic's BCs that were sold between February 1,
2004, and June 24, 2004. BCs sold prior to February 1, 2004, do not
have these Inflators and are not affected.
Testing and evaluation has shown that the Power Inflator Button may
stick in the depressed position. Engineers have designed new
replacement parts that will prevent the Button from sticking. Oceanic
asks that all owners of Oceanic BCs that have Reliant Inflators return
them to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer for a retrofit at no charge.
WARNING: DO NOT CONTINUE USE of the BC or attempt to disassemble any
components of the Inflator. Take the BC with Inflator to your nearest
Authorized Oceanic Dealer for inspection and service. Only Authorized
Oceanic Dealers and their trained service technicians must perform
this retrofit. Non-authorized personnel who attempt the retrofit
procedure risk voiding the products warranty and rendering the product
dangerously unsafe for normal SCUBA use.

representative.
