Diving without this cap in place will result in water and contaminants
being blown into the interior of the cylinder during filling, which in turn
will cause future mechanical problems in the regulator and valve.
2. Prior to each dive always check to make certain your regulator has
no potential water leaks by inhaling on the regulator with the
RaZor’s
air valve turned off. You should be able to draw in very little if any air.
If you can draw in any quantity of air, either the exhaust valve is failing
to seal properly, or there may be a pinhole leak in the mouthpiece or
second stage diaphragm.
3. Just before turning on the
RaZor’s air valve, check to make sure
that the all hose connections are tight and that the regulator body is
aligned properly, with no kinks in the hoses.
4. Turn the tank valve on slowly, check for air leaks and proper breath-
ing function of the regulator. If any unusual leaks are heard, do not
dive with the regulator. Take the regulator to your authorized Zeagle
dealer for inspection and repair if necessary.
WARNING
CAUTION
15
If you hear any leaks, turn the tank valve off. Do not use the regulator
until the source of the leak has been found and corrected by an autho-
rized Zeagle Scuba service technician.
Lifting the tank by the regulator or hoses may loosen a previously tight
connection, which could cause unexpected air loss and put the diver at
risk during a subsequent dive. You could be physically injured by high
pressure air or parts that are propelled by high-pressure air.
