Shipping and handling charges to locations outside of the continental US will vary. Please advise how
your area is best served.
Some components may be replaced with another component with a different serial number. The
replacement component will be completely re-manufactured and tested like new. In some cases,
we will make the replacement with new components. Estimates will be provided at no-charge when
necessary or requested. In the United States, if you decline our service estimate, or if the product is
not serviceable, we will return your FRV or component ground return freight at no charge.
When shipping, we recommend you use an insured, traceable shipping method. We will not be
responsible for a non-traceable shipment, or if damage results from poor packaging. We will decline
any shipments sent freight-collect.

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO CLEANING THE SPRING CHAMBER AND SOAKING THE UNIT IN
ANTI-SALT SOLUTION:
The spring chamber must be thoroughly treated with salt-remover after each
dive. The spring chamber must be lubricated and the actuator manually fired, which confirms proper
action and releases tension on the spring
See page 28
Pre-dive Inspection and cocking sequence:
Remove and replace cylinders AFTER cocking and
loading the spring—after the green is exposed. Check for leaks through the clear actuator cover.
Page-22.
Electronic motor test:
Tests the electronic motor when the unit is first turned on. If the motor is
defective, the LCD messages “err 3.” Do not use the FRV, and return it for repair. Page 34.
Wrap the charger plug cord:
Several users have forgotten to replace the charger plug and ruined
their units when they flooded. To help prevent this, wrap the cord on the charger plug around the
charge wire. When you are done charging, unwinding the cord will, hopefully, remind you to replace
the plug at that moment. Page 13.
Lubricate the over-pressure valve:
Updated 8/15/15 Because the OPV may stick, it should be
lubricated with silicone spray every 3 months, and the valve should be tested before each dive trip.
