Reassembly Procedures
General Guidelines
▼
Refer to the schematic parts list, that highlights automatic replacement parts
which should be discarded and replaced with new during reassembly. These
parts are provided in the Annual Service Kit.
▼
Before performing any reassembly, it is important to individually inspect all
parts, both new and those that are being reused, to ensure that each part
and component is perfectly clean and free of any dust, decay, or blemishes.
▼
If the regulator has been serviced for use with EAN/Nitrox, it is important to
don powderless latex gloves before handling any parts, including O-rings, in
order to avoid contaminating the parts with skin oil.
▼
Prior to dressing, inspect all O-rings with magnification to ensure they are
supple, clean, and completely free of any scoring or decay that would impair
proper sealing.
▼
XS Scuba recommends Christo-Lube
®
MCG-11 (PN MS150) to be used ex-
clusively for the lubrication and dressing of O-rings and other internal parts.
Christo-Lube
®
provides superior lubrication to that of silicone grease, espe-
cially in high pressure (DIN) systems greater than 3,000 psi, and extreme
temperature conditions. It is also non-reactive to oxygen, and is approved for
use with EAN/Nitrox.
'
CAUTION : Silicone grease is not compatible with oxygen enriched
air, and must be strictly avoided when servicing a regulator that
will be used with EAN/ Nitrox. The entire regulator will otherwise
become contaminated, and rendered unsafe for use with any mixture
of oxygen enriched air.
▼
Dress all O-rings with a visible film of Christo-Lube, but avoid applying exces-
sive amounts, as this may attract particulate matter that can cause acceler-
ated wear or damage to the O-ring.
CAUTION : The use of aerosol spray or petroleum based lubricants
must be strictly avoided. The propellant gas or petroleum base may
attack or weaken plastic or rubber parts.
▼
Use all replacement parts provided in the XS Scuba Authorized Dealer parts
kit.
