ADD
VALVE
QUICK
CONNECT
SYSTEM
We
recommend
that
the
quick
connect
system
is
at-
tached
to
the
add
valve,
on
the
out
flow
side.
This
en-
sures
that
the
small
amount
of
water
which
sits
in
the
front
of
the
check
valve,
will
get
atomized
into
the
low
pressure
hose.
The
amount
of
water
is
very
slight,
and
it
does
get
atomized.
Even
still,
it
should
be
after
the
add
valve
and
filter
set
up.
What
this
means
is
that
when
the
quick
connect
sys-
tem
is
apart,
the
add
valve
will
be
attached
to
the
side
mount
cylinder.
Care
should
be
taken
to
secure
the
valve
to
the
side
of
the
cylinder
with
bungees
and/or
clips,
to
ensure
that
it
does
not
get
damaged.
Treat
it
as
you
would
a
second
stage
regulator,
with
care
and
respect.
When
attaching
the
fittings
to
the
add
valve,
remember
to
put
one
wrench
on
the
add
valve
fitting
and
one
on
the
quick
connect.
Do
not
allow
the
fitting,
which
is
directly
attached
to
the
valve,
to
spin.
It
could
strip
the
threads
of
the
housing.

When
your
Explorer
is
rigged
for
travel
mode,
you
must
still
do
a
full
positive
and
negative
test.
This
must
be
done
with
the
complete
loop
intact.
This
means
that
the
first
stages
must
be
secured
to
the
side
mount
cylinders,
and
the
quick
connects
pushed
together.
This
is
the
only
way
to
ensure
that
the
positive
and
negative
tests
pass.
Don’t
forget
to
push
the
shut-off
valve
closed,
on
the
off-board
acces-
sory.
If
you
don’t,
it
will
leak
and
the
test
will
fail.
While
the
entire
loop
is
together,
take
the
time
to
pressurize
the
off-board
whip.
Simply
open
up
the
off-
board
cylinder,
while
the
off-board
accessory
is
connected
to
it.
This
will
pressurize
the
whip,
and
will
confirm
that
the
one
way
check
valve
has
seated.
Ensure
that
the
shut-off
valve
is
open,
while
you
do
this.
This
should
be
done
prior
to
entering
the
water.
See
the
off-board
section
for
full
details.
