AirWave Octo Service and Repair Manual
General Guidelines
▼
Refer to the schematic parts list, that highlights automatic re-
placement parts which should be discarded and replaced with
new during reassembly. These parts are provided in the Annual
Service Kit.
▼
Before performing any reassembly, it is important to individually
inspect all parts, both new and those that are being reused, to
ensure that each part and component is perfectly clean and free
of any dust, decay, or blemishes.
▼
If the regulator has been serviced for use with EAN/Nitrox, it is
important to don powderless latex gloves before handling any
parts, including O-rings, in order to avoid contaminating the
parts with skin oil.
▼
Prior to dressing, inspect all O-rings with magnification to ensure
they are supple, clean, and completely free of any scoring or
decay that would impair proper sealing.
▼
XS Scuba recommends Christo-Lube® MCG-11 (PN MS150)
to be used exclusively for the lubrication and dressing of O-
rings and other internal parts. Christo-Lube® provides superior
lubrication to that of silicone grease, especially in high pressure
(DIN) systems greater than 3,000 psi, and extreme temperature
conditions. It is also non-reactive to oxygen, and is approved for
use with EAN/Nitrox.
CAUTION: Silicone grease is not compatible with oxygen
enriched air, and must be strictly avoided when servicing a
regulator that will be used with EAN/ Nitrox. The entire regula-
tor will otherwise become contaminated, and rendered unsafe
for use with any mixture of oxygen enriched air.
▼
Dress all O-rings with a visible film of Christo-Lube, but avoid
applying excessive amounts, as this may attract particulate mat
-
ter that can cause accelerated wear or damage to the
O-ring.
CAUTION: The use of aerosol spray or petroleum based
lubricants must be strictly avoided. The propellant gas or pe-
troleum base may attack or weaken plastic or rubber parts.
▼
Use all replacement parts provided in the XS Scuba Authorized
Dealer parts kit.
