Donning the BC 

CAUTION:  To avoid possible injury and/or damage to your equipment, 
XS  Scuba  recommends  that  you  should  always  don  your  BC  with 
assistance from a buddy. 

1. Ensure that the side-squeeze buckles of both shoulder straps are securely
    fastened.  Fully extend each strap to its maximum length by pulling up on
    the tab of the lower slide buckle, and then pulling the webbing down until
    the D-ring slides up near the buckle. 
2. While your dive buddy holds the cylinder supported behind you, reach back
    to place your arms through the shoulder straps. 
3. While your buddy continues to hold the cylinder, fasten the cummerbund
    snug around your waist (not hips).  The best positioning is between your
    hips and your rib cage.  The weight of the cylinder should rest on the
    lumbar region (lower part) of your back. 
4. After your buddy has released the cylinder and the BC feels comfortably
    supported on your hips and shoulders, bend forward at the waist and adjust
    the shoulder straps to a comfortable length by pulling straight down on the
    D-rings.
