CAUTION
WARNING
If you hear any leaks, turn the tank valve off. Do not use the regulator
until the source of the leak has been found and corrected by an autho-
rized Zeagle Scuba service technician.
Lifting the tank by the regulator or hoses may loosen a previously tight
connection, which could cause unexpected air loss and put the diver at
risk during a subsequent dive. You could be physically injured by high
pressure air or parts that are propelled by high-pressure air.
Failing to perform this simple step will often result in water and con-
taminant’s being blown into the interior of the regulator, which in turn
will cause future mechanical problems in the regulator.
2. Prior to each dive always check to make certain your regulator has
no potential water leaks by inhaling on the regulator with the dust cap
properly installed or the tank with the air valve turned off. You should
be able to draw in very little if any air. If you can draw in any quantity
of air, either the exhaust valve is failing to seal properly, or there may
be a pinhole leak in the mouthpiece or second stage diaphragm.
3. Just before turning on the tank air valve, check to make sure that
the yoke nut or DIN connection is tight and that the regulator body
is aligned properly, with no kinks in the hoses. In the case of DIN
connections, check that the DIN connector O-ring on the regulator is
in place before installing the regulator into the valve. Always carry
spare DIN connection O-rings (Zeagle p/n 160-0111-N7).
4. Turn the tank valve on slowly, check for air leaks and proper
breathing function of the regulator.
