USER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
It is important to provide the proper preventative maintenance to ensure the best possible
performance and maximum life of your OMS Airstream Evoque regulator.
The following maintenance procedures should be performed routinely after each use to
ensure that the regulator is cleaned, inspected, and prepared for the next use.
Whenever the regulator is removed from the cylinder valve, it is important that the dust cap
is installed over the regulator inlet fitting.
This is critical to prevent the entrance of moisture into the regulator first stage.
This cap is normally attached to the regulator first stage yoke and may therefore be wet.
Wipe or blow the dust cap completely dry before securing it over the inlet fitting.
As soon as possible after diving, thoroughly rinse the regulator with clean fresh
water while it is attached to a cylinder and pressurized with air.
If possible, transport your regulator assembly (preferably dry) in a padded carrying case or
equipment bag separated from sharp items that might damage or scratch the components.
You should also protect the second stage from damage from heavy objects.
