28. Lubricate and install the O-rings(16&31) onto all hoses and
port plugs. Install the LP hoses and port plugs(17&32) into
their respective ports in the first stage. Apply a calibrated
torque wrench with x" hex key socket (or appropriate size crow
foot for hoses) to tighten the port plugs and hoses to a torque
measurement of 38 inch-lbs (±2).
IceBreaker™ Environmental Seal Instructions
WARNING
: DO NOT install the IceBreaker™ environmental
sealing collar without first packing the ambient chamber with
silicone grease purchased directly from XS Scuba, according
to the following instructions. Failure to do will seriously af-
fect the regulator's performance, and could result in serious
injury or death.
1. Using a narrow tipped oral syringe, slowly inject silicone grease
through the ports on all sides of the piston cap. Rotate among
opposing ports, and repeat as needed until the pressure forces
excess grease to exit the opposite sides, indicating that the
chamber is full.
2. After verifying that the chamber is complete filled with grease,
wipe the outer surface of the piston cap clean with a soft cloth.
3. Fit the larger end of the IceBreaker™ collar down over the top of
the swivel cap, until it is securely in place over the piston cap,
and the smaller end is seated in the groove just below the swivel
(see Fig. 22).
