4. Installing Tank POD
Suunto recommends that the installation or removal of Suunto Tank POD is done by a Suunto
authorized dealer or trained dive expert.
For your safety, use Suunto Tank POD with the provided Suunto Flow Restrictors.
Suunto Flow Restrictor Type A and Type B are included with your Suunto Tank POD. The
shorter Flow Restrictor Type A is used when Suunto Tank POD is installed directly to a first-
stage regulator high pressure port. The longer Flow Restrictor Type B is used when Suunto
Tank POD is connected to a high pressure hose extension, with the hose attached to the first-
stage regulator high pressure port.
The restrictor should only be removed for cleaning or changing scuba gear. The restrictor
must be re-installed before using Tank POD again.
CAUTION: Improper tool use and over tightening may damage scuba equipment. The
recommended maximum torque is 8 Nm.

on the metal base and on the cover, too.
2. Insert the Type A flow restrictor into the Suunto Tank POD.
3. Attach the Suunto Tank POD to the first-stage high pressure port.
