4. The ZX has a Resistance Control Knob. The Valve Seal in the
second stage will give longer service if the Resistance Control Knob
on the ZX second stage is turned fully counter clockwise when the
regulator is stored longer than a week.
1. After the dive, dry the dust cap and place it securely on the 1st
stage regulator inlet. On multiple tank dives, keep water out of the
regulator inlet when changing the tanks. Neglect of these simple pro-
cedures is a major cause of corrosion and wear in scuba regulators.
2. With the dust cap securely in place, rinse the first and second
stage in clean fresh water. DO NOT purge the regulator before or
during rinsing since this may introduce water into the second stage
and the low-pressure hose. After rinsing, reconnect the regulator to
an air supply and thoroughly shake all excess water from the second
stage. Press the Purge cover (with the regulator attached to a pres-
sure source) several times to blow the rinse water out of the inner
mechanism. Allow the entire regulator to air dry before storing. For
reasons of hygiene, equipment subjected to frequent use in training,
rental, etc. should finally rinsed in water containing a suitable steril-
izing agent. The best sterilizing solutions for your regulator are soap
based. If any stronger chemicals are used, make the immersion very
brief and rinse the regulator out again thoroughly. Failure to rinse
sterilizing chemicals out of the regulator will cause serious damage to
plastic parts of the regulator. This will result in cracking of hard plastic
parts and shrinking or swelling of soft plastic parts.
NOTE : DO NOT USE SOLVENT CHEMICALS TO CLEAN THE
REGULATOR
3. Store the clean dry regulator in a clean bag or storage box, away
from sunlight, excessive heat and humidity.
