Preparations
Your regulator is life support equipment and it should be handled with care and
maintained and checked regularly.
Before each dive, we recommend that you check the following things on your
regulator:
• Perform a visual inspection of your equipment to make sure there are no
damage or defects. If damage or defects are detected, or you suspect that the
equipment is damaged or defective, do NOT use the equipment until it has been
checked, and if needed, repaired by a service technician certified to service/
repair Poseidon equipment.
• The Poseidon Low pressure hoses are equipped with an inspection hole, allowing
you to verify that the hose and connection are properly assembled. Before each
use, verify that you can see the rubber hose in the inspection hole. If you do not
see any rubber in the inspection hole, the hose should be discarded IMMEDIATLY
and NOT used, as it will pose an immediate risk of a hose failure/ accident. Diving
with a hose where rubber isn’t visible in the inspection hole can be life threatening!
• We recommend that you regularly
replace your low pressure hoses to avoid
situations where your safety is jeopardized
by using worn out hoses. It is often
difficult/impossible to tell from the outside
of a hose, if it is about to fail. Rubber, the
material the hose is made out of, ages
over time and do not last forever.
Replacing your LP hoses every 5 - 6 years
is advisable.
• Make sure all visible o-rings (hose
connections and DIN connection) are
properly assembled and without any
damage. To minimize the number of times
where you have to abort a dive due to bad
o-rings, we recommend that you always
keep a spare set of o-rings in your dive
bag. Note that o-rings over time dry out
and their functionality is reduced, thus
these should be replaced periodically.
