11.0.2 Just before mounting the regulator on the valve, always turn the valve on briefly to blow
any trapped water out of the valve. There is often salty water trapped in the outlet side of the
valve. This entrapped salt water being blown through the interior of the regulator is the number
one source of internal corrosion and problems with Scuba regulators.
11.0.3 Before turning on the tank air valve, check to make sure that the yoke nut or DIN con-
nection is tight and the regulator body is aligned properly, with no kinks in the hoses.
11.0.4 Turn the tank valve on slowly and listen for leaks. If any leaks are found, replace or repair
parts as recommended.
11.0.5 Never lift the tank/BCD assembly by the regulator or hoses.
11.0.6 Surface-test the regulator by breathing lightly through the mouthpiece. Depressing the
purge button above the water’s surface is not an effective or thorough method for testing the
function of the regulator.
12.0 POST-DIVE CARE:
12.0.1 Disconnect the Octo-Z from the Corrugated BC hose, but leave it attached to the QD
Inflator Hose. With a fresh water hose or tank, flush fresh water through the mouthpiece and
out the exhaust. After rinsing, with the air turned on, press the Inflate button and the Purge
Button to force clean dry air through the Octo-Z to dry it. Put Octo-Z into dive bag still attached
to the 1st stage.
12.0.2 Blow all water out of the dust cap with clean dry air or dab the water out with an absor-
bent cloth and place the cap securely on the regulator inlet. On multiple tank dives, use great
care to keep salt water out of the regulator inlet when tanks are changed. Neglecting these
simple procedures is another great cause of corrosion and wear in Scuba regulators. Zeagle’s
Dry Seal System keeps all other water-borne contamination out of the first stage body.
12.0.3 With the dust cap securely in place, rinse the first and second stages in clean fresh
water. DO NOT depress the purge button before or during rinsing since this may introduce
water into the second stage and the low-pressure hose. Shake or blow all excess water from
the second stage and allow the entire regulator to air-dry before storing.
12.0.4 Store regulator in a clean bag or storage box, away from sunlight, excessive heat and
humidity.
13.0 WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
13.1 PROPER PROCEDURE FOR SERVICE PAPERWORK (USA)
13.1.1 Make sure your service location has an adequate supply of the three part “Zeagle
Service Order / Parts Request” forms. One of these carbon-paper forms is required to get credit
for parts used in any warranty replacement. Contact Zeagle Customer Service for replacement
forms.
13.1.2 When the regulator is received from the customer for servicing, verify that they are the
original retail owner of the regulator and that they have had the regulator serviced annually at
an Authorized Zeagle Dealer. You can use your records for this, or receipts they have. If they
are not the original owner or have not had the regulator serviced annually, the warranty is no
longer in effect.
