view as you read the service section of the manual. The Item Numbers referred to in the service
section are those seen in the exploded view
! WARNING !
NEVER reuse the main diaphragm in a diaphragm FIRST stage. A used diaphragm will not
clamp securely as required. A used main diaphragm may come loose during use, causing a
severe regulator malfunction. This is true with all diaphragm first stages. Failure to heed this
warning may result in serious injury or death.
! WARNING !
NEVER tighten the hose fitting to a first stage with more than 40 in. lbs. (4.5 Nm) of torque.
The inlet hose fitting will be weakened by over tightening. Failure to heed this warning may result
in serious injury or death.
NOTE:
All Zeagle Scuba Regulators have service kits available which contain the parts which
must be changed at every annual service no matter what their condition. The standard annual
service kit part numbers are shown in the parts list. All other parts not contained in these kits
must be inspected by the technician and changed under warranty only if they have failed due to
problems with material or workmanship.
! WARNING !
Zeagle Scuba Regulators are manufactured using materials suitable for use with oxygen
enriched gases (i.e. Nitrox, etc.) providing the oxygen content does not exceed 40%. Equipment
intended for enriched air (Nitrox) use must not be used with regular compressed breathing air, or
other gases. Regulators intended for enriched air use can be serviced only by technicians trained
by one of the major oxygen enriched air training agencies. Failure to heed this warning may
result in serious injury or death.
1.0.2 This manual gives breakdowns of regulator parts, equipment specifications, servicing
instructions, troubleshooting recommendations, and guidelines for proper care of Zeagle Octo-Z
regulators. This manual is intended for use only by persons specially trained and authorized to
service Zeagle Scuba equipment.
1.0.3 Anyone attempting to service or repair Zeagle Scuba regulators must have a thorough
understanding of the principles of operation of scuba regulators and valves, as well as the appro-
priate mechanical ability. The technician must be properly trained in the safe use of compressed
air and the various tools and cleaning solutions involved in the procedures outlined in this manu-
al.
1.0.4 The best source for current part numbers for any of the parts listed in this manual is your
