accessory hoses. Ensure that the second stage
and octopus are pointing down and away from
yourself and anybody standing close by,
checking that the second stage hose goes
towards right (exhalation outlets of the second
stage positioned downward). Open your tank
valve slowly to avoid a sudden and strong flow
of air into the regulator.
Be sure that the tank valve is completely
open before starting the dive.
-Press the purge button two or three times
to remove any dust or foreign matter that may
have accumulated in the second stage. Then
check the operation of your second stage by
breathing through it.
- On entering the water when the regulator
is not in your mouth it is advisable to fill it
with water to reduce the risk of sudden
discharge of air. This is done by gently shaking
and rotating the second stage while it is sub-
merged.
- When using a second regulator or octo-
pus, it is advisable to fit a mouthpiece
cover/retainer/plug. This should prevent forei-
gn matter from entering the regulator and redu-
ce the risk of uncontrolled air discharge. This
accessory is available from you dealer.
AFTER EACH DIVE - PERIODICAL
MAINTENANCE
Even though your regulator is manufactured
with high quality materials specifically tested
in sea water it is necessary to apply care to
avoid corrosion and deposits due to salt water.
We have listed below step by step instruction
for the care of your regulator after diving.
-As soon as the tank is on the boat or you
have left the water, close the tank valve, relea-
se the air left into the regulator by depressing
the second stage purge button and disconnect
the regulator by releasing the yoke screw.
-Lay down the tank to avoid it falling and
damaging equipment or injuring people.
-Clean and dry the 1st stage filter and its
seat using a light compressed air blow.
-Repeat the same operation on the filter
dust cover, place it on the filter and tighten the
yoke screw.
-As soon as possible, carefully rinse each
part of the regulator with fresh water. During
this operation do not remove the dust cover
from the filter of the 1st stage and in order to
avoid water penetration inside the regulator do
not depress the second stage purge button.
-If you are not going to use the regulator
for a few weeks attach the regulator to a tank
and, by depressing the purge button on the
second stage, let the air flow for ten seconds.
This will eject any water thereby helping to eli-
minate problems of deposit and bad odour.
-Let the regulator dry avoiding direct sun
light and dust, hanging it from the yoke in
order to avoid bending occurring in the low
pressure hose.
-At the end of EVERY season, or in any
case after a long period of storage, it is advisa-
ble to have the regulator inspected and serviced
by a certified service centre. We suggest that
you contact an authorised SEAC SUB dealer
who will be happy to arrange for the mainte-
nance of your regulator.
