Page 5: Nitrox Use
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THIS EQUIPMENT WARNING 1. Sherwood Scuba equipment is intended for use only by persons trained and certified by a nationally recognized scuba training agency. Diving without the specific training including safe diving practices and within the limits defined by the training agency exposes the user to extremely hazardous situations that could result in serious personal injury or death. - Page 6 Failure to understand and avoid these risks may lead to serious personal injury or death. Sherwood regulators have been designed and manufactured for use with clean air or Nitrox mixtures containing no more than 40% oxygen. Preparation for use with oxygen enriched gas mixtures requires the proper selection of compatible materials and clean manufacturing practices that minimize the presence of combustible materials inside the regulator.
- Page 7 In order to maintain the necessary level of cleanliness Sherwood recommends that the regulator be dedicated to Nitrox use only. However, if you wish to use the regulator with Nitrox and air interchangeably, you must exercise care to pass only clean air through the regulator. The level of cleanliness must be such that it contains condensed hydrocarbons of not more than 0.1 mg/ liter.

Page 8: Initial Set-Up
INITIAL SET UP Your Sherwood regulator provides options for the attachment of accessories such as the submersible pressure gauge or dive computer, the buoyancy compensator inflator air supply and the alternate air source (octo). Sherwood recommends that you consult your Authorized Sherwood Dealer to install these accessories for you. -
Page 9: Diving With The Regulator
This may damage components and compromise your dive. 5. Sherwood regulators (except BRUT SRB9150) provide the user with a device to control the venturi assist that is intended to decrease inhalation resistance at high flow rates. - Page 10 If it does not, then you must terminate the dive and have the regulator examined. ADJUSTMENT DURING THE DIVE The Maximus has only one user adjustment. Adjusting the second stage knob affects both the initial breathing effort and the venturi assisting effect. The operation of the knob is the same as most regulators of this type.
- Page 11 When diving at the surface or when the regulator is out of the water, it is important to adjust the regulator sensitivity to the least sensitive position (rolled back, fully “IN”) to stop the venturi assisting effect and minimize the possibility of uncontrolled free flow of air. While diving, it is recommended that the regulator be operated at the greatest sensitivity available without causing the regulator to free flow.

Page 12: After The Dive
AFTER THE DIVE The best time to clean your regulator is as soon as possible after concluding diving activity for the day. Delayed rinsing of the equipment increases the opportunity for corrosion or deposits to form which eventually may degrade performance of the regulator. If possible, you should rinse the regulator while it is still pressurized. - Page 13 With each service your Authorized Sherwood Scuba Dealer is required to register the service at www.SherwoodScuba.com. Ask your dealer to print a copy of the service registration to keep as a record of your service.
