1. Pull second stage
hose sleeve back
–
to
expose LP hose swivel,
loosen the swivel using
the SCUBAPRO universal
tool.
6. Hold the diaphragm to
light and stretch it from 4
points to check for
punctures. Reposition
and repeat to be sure
there are no punctures
and that the diaphragm is
imperfection free.
7. Inspect the smooth
operating side of the disc
for signs of wear. Replace
as necessary.
2. Using a TORX® T10
driver, remove the 4
front cover screws.
Remove the cover.
8. Next,
remove the “dive
switch” assembly. First
remove the safety “C”
clip by placing a flat
blade screw driver in the
negative detent (or the
bottom side of the wave)
of the “C”
-clip.
3. The screws are
conveniently held in
place with o-rings
–
to
avoid losing them.
Remove the o-rings, as
new ones are supplied in
the annual service kit.
9. Then slide your finger
or thumb to provide
support and pry, via light
leverage.
4. Separate the purge
cover and ring. Inspect
the integrity of the
purge and ring.
The metal, stainless
steel
“S” insignia is
not
removable.
10.
Pull the complete
“dive switch” assembly
free from the 2
nd
. stage
case and remove the 2 o-
rings, using a brass pick.
5. Carefully remove the
inhalation diaphragm.
Replace if it smells of
diesel or gas, is tacky or
distorted.
Do not remove the finishing-nut (jam nut
)
–
to
avoid permanent damage.
The inlet tube is silver
soldered to the case, and then pressure tested for
leaks. Nothing is gained by removing the nut; it is for
cosmetic purposes only and held using factory applied
soft thread locking agent. Submerging the A700 case
into an ultrasonic unit, using SCUBA industry-marketed
ultrasonic cleaning solutions is recommended to safely
clean case.
