5.1.1
GENERAL PROCEDURES
1.
Close the bottle air supply by turning the bottle valve flywheel on a timely direction until it
stops. DO NOT squeeze it too much.
2.
While observing the submersible pressure gauge (if equipped), press the button and purge
the second stage. When the meter reads zero and the airflow can no longer be heard from the
second stage, release the purge button.
5.1.2
INT TYPE CONNECTOR
1.
Turn the yoke screw counterclockwise to loosen and remove the first valve cap from the bottle.
2.
Dry the dust plug with a towel or other lint-free cloth. While you can use air from the bottle
valve to blow water from the dust cap, you run the risk
of blowing water into the filter.
3.
Place the dust plug over the first stage entry accessory and seal it firmly in place by squeezing
the yoke screw
4.
With the bottle valve out, open the valve slightly to release a small burst of air and then close
the valve immediately. This will remove any moisture that may have entered the valve opening.
Immediately place the protective cap over the valve opening to prevent moisture or debris from
entering.
