Before usage

Depth gauge:
Before diving, check the position of the depth indicating pointer. Atmospheric conditions (altitude, temperature) may cause
the point to not indicate zero. If this is the case, turn the adjusting screw located at the right side of the gauge to align the
pointer to zero. The adjustment is to be made at the temperature of usage. Repeated unnecessary adjustments may cause
excessive wear to the seals and eventual leakage.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to adjust the water entry port located at the left side of gauge. Tampering with the port can cause
damage to internal components. Do not pressure test gauge in air. Always immerse the gauge in water while pressure
testing it.
Pressure gauge:
The hose has an end fi tting with 7/16" 20 UNF-thread. If your regulator has a different thread size in the high pressure (HP-
output) port, ask your dealer for the correct adapter. Always inspect the o-ring at the male thread to be sure it is clean and
undamaged before connecting it to the regulator.
Always turn your air supply on slowly. Always turn the pressure gauge dial face away from your face when turning on the
air supply.
Do not overtighten the hose at the gauge, the fi tting is pressure proof even when tightened with fi ngers.
Service
Avoid subjecting the gauges to excessive shock loads such as those that might occur from being dropped or hit against an
