5.-
Place the 1st stage on the valve of the bottle so that the inlet attachment aligns with the
O-ring of the bottle valve and the LP hose of the 2nd primary stage will be routed over the right
shoulder. While holding the 1st stage in place, turn the INT screw in a timely direction. Make sure
the fork screw is attached to the small dimple on the back of the bottle valve and tighten only
with your fingers.

DIN TYPE CONNECTOR
1.-
Remove the protective cover of the bottle valve.
2.-
With the bottle valve outwards, release a small amount of air from the bottle by turning the
steering wheel counterclockwise to open the valve only slightly. When you hear air coming out,
immediately close the valve. This will remove any moisture or dirt that may be inside the thread
bottle valve opening.
3.-
Check the status of the O-ring located at the end of the DIN connector.
4.-
Place the regulator of the first stage near the valve of the bottle so that the LP hose of the
second primary stage is routed on the right shoulder. Screw the DIN connector of the first stage
into the bottle valve, turning the steering wheel by hand in a timely direction until it is slightly
adjusted. DO NOT use tools to tighten.

PRE-DIVE VERIFICATIONS
1.-
Carefully inspect all hoses in their connections to ensure that they are securely connected
to their respective ports in the first stage. Inspect the length of each hose to make sure the
hoses are not blistered, cut, or damaged. If there are hose protectors, slide the protectors back
to expose the hose fittings and inspect the hoses as described above.
2.-
Visually inspect the regulators, the first and second stage to detect signs of external
damage.
3.-
Visually inspect the nozzle to make sure that there are no tears or cracks and that it is well
attached to the body of the second stage.
4.-
Check that the needle of your submersible pressure meter is at zero.
5.-
Adjust your regulator to the bottle, verifying that the hoses are oriented correctly.
