Introduction
1.1 Functional description
Developed from the original A.P.Valve, the APV200 has been ergonomically restyled but
continues to offer the combined functions of a BCD power inflator and emergency jacket
breathing valve. The APV200 is a replacement part for post-2007 (BUDDY and AP Diving)
BCD’s.
N.B. If you require a replacement for pre-2007 BUDDY BCD’s, you need the
previous version of this inflator, the AP200.
1.2 Servicing
Before servicing this APV200 inflator, you must receive instruction and certification in the
maintenance of this breathing valve/inflator by AP Diving Ltd.
Without the correct training it is possible to configure the APV200 inflator incorrectly in an
unsafe manner. Factory or Dealer prescribed service for this gas isolator is recommended at
least once annually.
WARNING:
when servicing the APV200 inflator it is VERY important that all parts that
may suffer wear and tear get replaced. It is also very important that the correct tools are used
to avoid damaging any part of the breathing valve/inflator in the disassembly and assembly
process. Please don’t try to save money by re-using parts that really should be replaced
during a proper service.
