The Air Cells of select model BCs can be removed, interchanged, or installed.
To Remove an Air Cell:
• Unclip the BC Chest and Waist Straps and open the Waist Band.
• Lift the elastic strap located at the top of the back padding over the top of the hard backpack,
pulling the padding top away from the backpack. It is held in place with 2 self gripping strips.
• Remove the 6 screws that secure the hard backpack to the rubber coated tank cradle, and pull
the tank cradle away from the Jacket and backpack.
• Pull the Air Cell away from the jacket and backpack.
To Install an Air Cell:
• Position the backpack in the opening through the Jacket and position the Air Cell properly on the
outer side of the oblong opening using the 4 alignment guides.
• Position the tank cradle against the oblong opening in the Air Cell and hold firmly in place while
securing with the 6 screws placed through the opposite side of the hard backpack.
• Tighten the screws clockwise to a torque of 15 ± 2 in-lbs.
• Replace the soft padding against the backpack and secure with the 2 self gripping strips, then
slide the elastic strap at the top of the padding over the top of the hard backpack.
