Because the Octo-Z is attached to your corrugated hose, in air-
sharing situations you will most likely be using the Octo-Z yourself
while handing your primary regulator off to the person in need of air.
However, the rotating couplings on both the corrugated hose and the
QD fitting means that unlike most Reg/Inflator combinations of this
style, you can easily rotate the mouthpiece outwards to make the
Octo-Z more accessible to another diver if you prefer to hand off your
Octopus (Safe-second) regulator instead of your primary regulator.
Inflating and Deflating your BC:
Usually you will want to inflate your BC by filling it with air from your
diving cylinder. To do this, simply press the round Power Inflate
Button (See Fig 4). The inflate valve in the Octo-Z is balanced
against changes in inlet pressure and flow. This means that you can
smoothly fill your BC with an easy push of the button. Release the
button when you have enough air in the BC bladder.
