OCTOPUS (Alternate Second Stage) USE
The diver controls available on Zeagle second stages make them an excel-
lent choice for Octopus use. An Octopus Regulator is often subjected to
conditions that may cause a free-flow. To minimize this turn the Resistance
Control Knob most of the way in (Clockwise) and move the Dive / Pre-Dive
Lever forward to the “-” Minus position. When the Octopus Regulator is
needed for delivering air to a diver, the Resistance Control Knob is turned
Counter Clockwise to the easiest breathing position, and the Dive / Pre-
Dive Lever is moved back to the DIVE “+” position. Although breathing
resistance will be somewhat greater, the regulator will still deliver ample
air on demand if the controls are accidentally left in the Pre-Dive position.
Longer hoses are available from Zeagle for Octopus use.
PRE-DIVE CHECK
1. Before mounting any Scuba regulator onto a tank valve, you must open
the valve briefly to blow out any water trapped in the outlet area of the
valve. Failing to perform this simple step will often result in water and
contaminants 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 lightly on the regulator with the dust cap
properly installed, or the tank 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. Mount the 1st stage regulator on the tank valve with the clear diaphragm
end (with the black logo showing underneath) facing down.
