CAUTION
1. The high-pressure outlets (HP Ports) are distinctly larger than the
low-pressure outlets. Only devices with fittings, hoses and com-
ponents designed for the full tank pressure that the regulator will
be mounted on, such as Submersible Pressure Gauges, are to be
installed in these ports.
2. During installation, the O-ring hose fittings will seal with hand-tight
pressure, but may come loose during use if not tightened carefully
with a small wrench. Proper torque for the hose fittings is 40-45 in
lbs. (4.5 - 5 N-m) Excessive tightening will not help the seal and may
damage the parts (see DEMA Guidelines No. 101, Low Pressure Hose
Installation Caution Statement; ANSI American National Standard for
Underwater Safety, paragraph 9.3.1).
5. Do not practice unnecessary buddy breathing, etc.
6. Do not use your regulator to fill lift bags, etc.
7. Keep YOUR regulator in YOUR mouth. In an emergency, offer
or take the spare regulator. When taking the spare regulator, do
not hit the purge button to clear the water (if possible). Clear the
regulator with as long a first exhalation as is safely possible.
8. If the physical gear set-up allows, use two 1st stages and utilize
one for breathing air and the other one for inflation air. This will
split the cooling effect between the two regulators.
