Before each use, the regulator assembly must be given a thor-
ough visual inspection and functional test. NEVER dive with a
regulator that shows signs of damage, or provides substandard
performance until it has received complete inspection and service
from an Authorized KMDSI.
Inspection Checklist
1. Remove the dust cap and closely inspect the condition of the
first stage filter. It should appear clean and free of any cor-
rosion or discoloration. If a green residue is visible on the
surface of the filter, moisture has entered the first stage and
may have caused corrosion to begin forming inside which can
seriously impair the regulator's performance.
Other colored residue may indicate that the regulator has been
used with an internally corroded aluminum (white/ gray powder)
or steel (rust) cylinder. In this event, the cylinder in question
should be returned to the dive store for internal visual inspection.
If discoloration or contaminant residue is found to be
present on the surface of the first stage filter, do not dive
with the regulator until it has received factory prescribed
service from an Authorized KMDSI Dealer. The presence
of contaminants could cause the regulator to malfunc-
tion, leading to serious personal injury or death.
2. Prior to each use, the regulator assembly must be given a
thorough visual inspection and functional test. Carefully
inspect all hoses at their fittings to ensure they are securely
connected into their respective ports on the first stage.
If hose protectors are present, slide the protectors back to expose
the hose fittings, and inspect the fittings. Inspect the length of
each hose to ensure that the hoses are not blistered, cut, or oth-
erwise damaged.
