Changing the tank’s mounting height
For shorter people, it is frequently a problem that they hit the head on the first stage regulator, which results in
limiting the field of view and automatically assuming incorrect position by the user. Simple lowering the tank
relative to the compensator is not a good solution due to two reasons:
1. usually, as a result, the trim becomes poorer since the compensator is placed too high compared to
the centre of gravity of the gas in the diving tank.
2. in many cases it can be dangerous since too low position of the tank may cause the tank to slip out of
the harness leading to serious accident (upper mounting strap will not totally fit onto the cylindrical
part of the tank).
GHOST system enables to change the position of the compensator with single tank adapter relative to the
harness, making it possible, as a result, for shorter people to lower the diving tank and, at the same time, retain
perfect trim and safe tank attachment.
The adapter and buoyancy compensator are mounted to the harness with the use of three bolts the
distribution of which is presented in the following picture:
In order to lower the compensator and single tank adapter:
1. Remove the tank mounting straps from the adapter;
2. Undo three nuts inside the tank adapter trough and remove the adapter from the harness together
with the buoyancy compensator;
3. Remove the bolts from the holes in the plate and then insert them in other holes taking into account
the distance you need to adjust the compensator.
4. Mount the buoyancy compensator and tank adapter;
5. Making sure that the bolts do not fall out the holes, tighten the nuts remembering about the washers.
