DIVE / PRE-DIVE VENTURI LEVER

This lever controls the sensitivity of the regulator. 

The Plus and Minus Positions for the lever are 

marked on the case beside the lever. To avoid 

unexpected venturi free flows at the surface, or 

when jumping into the water, the lever should

be set in the PRE-DIVE “-” (forward) position. As soon as the diver is 

ready to descend, the lever should be moved to the DIVE “+” (back) posi-

tion.

NOTE: Ask your authorized Zeagle Scuba dealer for in-store instructions 

and training on the use of the Resistence Control Knob and the Dive / Pre-

dive Venturi Lever. Your dealer will show you how to make adjustments 

to get the desired breathing results. To actually experience the effects of 

the adjustment range, the instruction should be conducted with the diver 

breathing through a regulator attached to a full air supply. The feel of the 

regulator breathing underwater is of course somewhat different from the 

feel of breathing above the surface.

Clockwise

Counter Clockwise

This knob adjusts the spring load on the second stage valve and so var-

ies the initial inhalation effort.  To adjust the Resistance Control Knob to 

the easiest breathing setting, turn the knob fully counter-clockwise (fig. 6).  

Sometimes a slight hissing flow of air may be heard at this setting.  If this 

occurs, turn the knob clockwise (fig. 7) just enough to stop the hissing.
