CAUTION
1. The high-pressure outlets (HP Ports) are distinctly larger than
the low-pressure outlets. Only devices with fittings, hoses, and
components designed for the full tank pressure that the regulator
will be mounted on, such as Submersible Pressure Gauges, are to be
installed in these ports.
2. During installation, the O-ring hose fittings will seal with hand-tight
pressure, but may come loose during use if not tightened carefully
with a small wrench. Proper torque for the hose fittings is 40-45 in
lbs. (4.5 - 5 joules) Excessive tightening will not help the seal and may
damage the parts (see DEMA Guidelines No. 101, Low Pressure Hose
Installation Caution Statement; ANSI American National Standard for
Underwater Safety, paragraph 9.3.1).
COLD WATER DIVING
Cold water is defined as water at a temperature of 50 degrees F (10°
C) or lower. However, in cold water there is a risk of the first or sec-
ond stage freezing. The risk of freezing is increased as the ambient
temperature gets lower, the air flow increases, and/or the moisture
content of the air supply increases. Regulators for cold water use
should have environmentally sealed first stages to prevent water entry
and lower the chance of freezing. It is not possible to completely
eliminate regulator freezing under all conditions. In order to reduce
the possibility you should:
1. Avoid pushing the purge button in the second stage during cold
water diving operations.
2. Enter the water and submerge without delay.
3. Avoid high rates of breathing, and excessive inflation of buoyancy
devices or dry suits. The deeper the dive the greater the risk.
4. Do not practice buddy breathing, etc. while in cold water.
5. Do not use your regulator to fill lift bags, etc.
