ALARMS AND GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
Before using this regulator, you must have successfully received training
and certification in the technique of autonomous scuba diving from a recognized training
agency (or any military or government diving school). The use of DIVING equipment by un-
certified or unskilled persons is dangerous and can lead to serious injury or death.
WARNING:
This regulator is not configured for commercial use as a surface supply
with air.
WARNING:
Always pressurize the regulator gradually by opening the bottle valve
SLOWLY.
WARNING:
NEVER lubricate any part of the regulator (particularly the O-ring that
provides the seal between the bottle valve and the regulator) with lubricants.
WARNING:
DO NOT apply any type of spray to the regulator. Doing so may cause
permanent damage to certain plastic or rubber components.
WARNING:
The factory-prescribed service for this regulator must be performed at
least once a year by TDS, or a TDS-appointed technician, trained at the factory. Repairs,
disassembly of service or adjustment of the 1st and 2nd stage should not be attempted by
persons who are not factory trained and authorized by TDS.
WARNING:
Do not use the 1st stage regulator as a carrying handle when lifting or
transporting the bottle, as this can damage the regulator or valve of the bottle.
WARNING:
When diving in cold water (below 10°C), you must have received training
and certification in cold water diving techniques from a recognized training agency.
WARNING:
TDS regulators are designed to be compatible for use only with normal,
atmospheric compressed air (21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen) that complies with EN 12021.
DO NOT attempt to use it with other gases, including pure oxygen or enriched air with an
oxygen content greater than 21%. Failure to comply with this warning can result in serious
injury or death due to fire and explosions, serious deterioration, and equipment failure. The
GULL and TAC BLACK models can be used with NITROX up to 40%.
