FOR PRODUCT SERVICE
You may send your PSLV to OSS for repair or service. It is mandatory that all returns, warranty or
otherwise, be authorized in advance.
Our Product Return Form will assist you in completing your return. You will find this form at
www.oceanicss.com/service. Please fill this form out before calling to request a Return Authorization (RA
number). Please make a copy of this completed form and include one with your return. The RA number
must be clearly printed on the outside of the box/package.
We can provide you with a RA number by the following methods:
•
Calling or sending a Fax to: (805) 650-3014, or
•
by Email: [email protected]
Please make sure you remove any accessories from the product being returned that are not related to
the service.
All items returned for service will receive a full factory service, be tested, and will be like new. No partial
services are available. Most of our non-warranty services are charged at a flat rate per item and can be
quoted in advance. Warranty service will be provided based on the warranty schedule found earlier in this
manual. Please review the terms and requirements for warranty service.
Non-Warranty items serviced will receive a 6-month Warranty. If the service was completed under
warranty, the original purchase date remains in force. A new warranty period does not begin when a
warranty service is performed.
California residents must add your local sales tax to all service charges.
We require prepyment for non-warranty service and for shipping charges to return your PSLV to you for
non-warranty work. Our preferred payment is by Visa or MasterCard. To process your order we need your
account number, expiration date, name on the card, security code, and billing address. You may also
prepay for your service with a cashier's check or money order. Personal checks will delay the shipment a
minimum of two (2) weeks. CODs are not accepted. A signature is required when shipping to an
individual.
Return shipping will be by UPS Ground, if available, unless otherwise requested.
1. Do not assume that the PSLV is in good working condition because it has received little use since it
was last serviced. Prolonged or improper storage can nonetheless result in internal corrosion
and/or deterioration of O-ring seals and valve springs, as well as deterioration of the bladder
seams.
2. Your PSLV must be inspected and overhauled every 5 years, or after 100 activations, whichever
comes first. Heavy use, for example in a training program, will shorten this interval.
PSLVs used for rental or training purposes in salt, chlorinated, or silted fresh water, will require complete
overhaul and factory prescribed service every year, or after 100 activations, wichever comes first, or
whenever it is suspected that moisture has entered the system. Use in chlorinated swimming pool water
will accelerate the deterioration of most rubber components, and require more frequent service than in
other typical conditions.
Warning
Except as described in this manual, DO NOT attempt to perform any
disassembly or service on your PSLV . The PSLV contains no user-serviceable parts.
Service requiring disassembly must only be performed by OSS. It is important to send your
PSLV to OSS for service at least every 5 years or after 100 activations, whichever comes
first . Your personal safety depends on the mechanical integrity of this device.
