1. Ensure that the metal bale of the buckle is as close to the rear of the
    BC as possible.  This provides the greatest range of adjustment. 
2. With the buckle fully open, thread the cylinder band up the middle slot
    and back down through the slot closest to the metal bale.  Pull the end
    to increase the tension in the band. 
3. Loosely thread the webbing through the open slot in the end of the
    buckle, but do not cinch it tight at this time. 
Attaching the BC to the Cylinder 
NOTE:  Some  models  are  equipped  with  the  Micro  Pac™  and  two 
cylinder band assemblies.
1. First, wet the cylinder band(s) and then fit the BC over the cylinder.
    Loop the tank locator strap over the cylinder valve and adjust it as
    needed to hold the BC at the desired height and position. 
2. While holding the cylinder secure, pull the free end of the cylinder
    band until there is a very tight fit between the pack and the cylinder. 
3. Close the buckle halfway to hold the cylinder band taut, and thread the
    end of the band through the open slot in the end of the buckle. 
4. Pull the cam buckle closed so that it snaps down against the cylinder.
    Fasten the end of the webbing securely over the loop Velcro
®
 on the
    cylinder band. 
5. Test the tightness by vigorously pulling and shaking the BC by the
    shoulder straps. 
WARNING: The cylinder band may initially stretch after it becomes wet.  
Always wet the band prior to attaching your BC to the cylinder and apply 
enough tension to ensure that the cylinder is held completely secure. 
Test this connection before every dive.  If the cylinder is allowed to slip 
free from the BC  while you are diving, you  could become separated 
from your air supply, which could result in serious injury or death.
