3.1 Service Kit Contents

WARNING:

When replacing O-rings, next to the size, the hardness of the O-rings

(declared in degrees Shore, and indicated by the suffixes N70 or N90) is ESSENTIAL for
proper operation. AP Diving deliberately chooses the N70 hardness of the
O-rings for the APV200 inflator.
If, against our recommendation, you choose to select your O-rings to come from another
source than AP Diving Ltd., make sure you select the right type in size AND hardness AND
material (composition).

The main service kit for the APV200 inflator has part number APV200A:
