Attaching the MP Hose to the First Stage
1.
Remove the inflator hose from the power
inflator body by gripping the grooved sleeve
over the quick disconnect coupling with your
thumb and forefinger. Slide the sleeve back.
2.
Remove the port plug from a MP port
on the regulator using the appropriate size
wrench.
3.
Check to ensure the o-ring is present
and in good condition. Screw the threaded
end of the hose into the port and tighten
to 40 in-lbs (46 kg-cm) with a 9/16” torque
wrench.
WARNING
:
DO NOT connect the inflator hose to a high pressure (HP)
port (greater than 200 psi / 14 bar). This may cause the hose to burst
when pressurized, which can result in serious injury. If you are unsure
which regulator port is medium pressure (MP) or high pressure (HP),
consult your regulator owner’s manual or your Authorized Aqua Lung
Dealer or Distributor before attaching the hose.
