POSEIDON Cyklon Octopus, Instructions Manual

4. After diving and disassembly
The regulator should always be rinsed while it is still mounted on
the tank. The regulator should be under pressure, otherwise water
can enter either the first or the second stage and cause the build up
of ice during your next dive!
1) The regulator should be rinsed in fresh water after every dive
so as to avoid salt crystal formation around the functional
parts.
2) Blow the equipment dry by using air pressure. Use
POSEIDON blowgun.
3) After rinsing, close the cylinder valve and purge the regulator.
4) Unscrew the regulator from the tank and mount the protec-
tive cap onto the connection.
5) Pack and store your regulator in your regulator bag. This
protects the regulator from damage. It is especially important
to protect the connection areas.
The regulator should not be stored in direct sunlight and/or at
high temperatures.
5. Your safety
It is extremely important for your safety that you keep your equip-
ment in good condition. While you can do some of the mainte-
nance on your own, other maintenance procedures can only be
carried out at one of POSEIDON´s authorized service locations.
Look for the POSEIDON Authorized Dealer sign. Modifications
of the product are prohibited.
5.1 What you do yourself
After every dive the equipment should be cleaned according to the
instructions in ”After diving and disassembly.”
The regulator does not have to be lubricated beyond what is done
by POSEIDON.
5.2 Annual service
The regulator should be serviced annually. The regulator should
only be serviced with original POSEIDON parts. The service
should be documented on the last page of this manual with the
date, the nature of the service, the local service center’s stamp and/
or signature.
5.3 Breathing gas
Water in the tank is the most common cause of freezing regulators.
Triton, Jetstream and Cyklon should be used with gas according to
EN 132, Annex A.
5.4 Worth thinking about
When opening the cylinder valve, do not direct the stream of air
at anyone. It can cause serious injury. Always exercise caution
with diving equipment. Remember that pressure at 200 bar on a
surface the size of a fingernail has the power of approximately 350
kg/770 lb.
Diving is a strenuous physical activity. Its difficulty may be
increased by conditions such as cold water, poor visibility, hard
work, and increased depth. Always try to exercise prudent judge-
ment when determining whether or not to dive. Never dive when
tired or in poor health.
6. Accessories
The use of accessories which have not been recommended can
seriously impair the function of your equipment.
Pressure-gauge hoses without a restriction in the connection can, if
the hose is punctured, allow a powerful jet of air to escape.
