donn the mask as instructed in Neptune III Series Products
manual, with part A SAV screw open. Once the mask is donned properly
test breathing from the SAV. You will notice you are breathing ambient
air and not gas from cylinder. Close the SAV screw (part A). Proper
sealing of the mask on the face and proper closing of the SAV will result
in you now breathing gas from cylinder.
NOTE!
Before each dive make sure part B (SAV Body) is tightened
properly on the OCTOPUS/SAV mask port, if not fully tightened working
on part A (Top) can cause the body (B) to open resulting in water leaking
that could cause serious injury and may even lead to fatal accident.
Leaking SAV:
Any leaking should be easily spotted while operating the pre-dive checks before
descent. In case the leaking is noticed once the dive has started (bubbles seen
from the valve, or you feel water seeping in from the SAV side):
1. Ensure the SAV is closed while upright. If not, close the SAV a
nd verify
you don’t have leaks. Exhaling/clearing the mask as per training skills will
dump all water and you will be able to identify if the SAV is still leaking.
2.
If the SAV is closed, but it is still leaking
ABORT THE DIVE
. When on the
boat/on land, ensure the SAV is clean, doesn’t have any debris or other
deposit that prevent it from closing properly. If you have a SAV III basic
make sure the body of the valve is properly screwed in the port and
make sure that the gasket in the port is in place. If you own a Neptune
III with installed SAV III, make sure there is no debris or deposit that
prevents the ring to close, make sure the cap is not unscrewed.
If these steps of troubleshooting don’t result in a perfectly working
SAV – contact
a Service Center or our Customer Service.
DO NOT DIVE.
