7.9.3 Removal of Regulator Alone
In most circumstances, it is not essential to remove
the pod if you need to service the regulator. To remove
the regulator by itself, use the following procedure.
1) Remove the bent tube assembly. See the section
in this chapter for the proper procedure.
2) Cut the tie wrap that holds the regulator on the
Quad-Valve extension of the pod.
