RESISTANCE CONTROL KNOB

This knob adjusts the spring load on the second stage valve and so var-

ies the initial inhalation effort.  To adjust the Resistance Control Knob to 

the easiest breathing setting, turn the knob fully counter-clockwise (fig. 6).  

Sometimes a slight hissing flow of air may be heard at this setting.  If this 

occurs, turn the knob clockwise (fig. 7) just enough to stop the hissing.

DIVE / PRE-DIVE VENTURI LEVER

This lever controls the sensitivity of the regulator.  The Plus and Minus 

Positions for the lever are marked on the case beside the lever.  To 

avoid unexpected venturi free flows at the surface, or when jumping 

into the water, the lever should be set in the PRE-DIVE “-” (forward) 

position.  As soon as the diver is ready to descend, the lever should 

be moved to the DIVE “+” (back) position.

NOTE: Ask your authorized Zeagle Scuba dealer for in-store instructions 

and  training  on  the  use  of  the  second  stage  Resistance  Control  Knob 

and lever.  Your dealer will show you how to make adjustments to get 

the desired breathing results.  To actually experience the effects of the 

adjustment  range,  the  instruction  should  be  conducted  with  the  diver 

breathing through a regulator attached to a full air supply.  The feel of the 

regulator breathing underwater is of course somewhat different from the 

feeling of breathing above the surface.
