NOTE: Always fill the cylinder as slowly as possible (do not exceed 300 PSI
/ 20.7 BAR per minute) by turning the handwheel of the supply valve slowly
to control the rate of fill. Rapid filling will generate heat and will result in an
incomplete fill after the cylinder cools. If the cylinder is warm to the touch
afterward, the fill rate was too rapid.
7. While supporting the cylinder with one hand, very slowly open the com-
pressor valve to begin filling (do not exceed a fill rate of 300 PSI / 20.7
BAR per minute). Make sure the dial or pin pressure gauge shows that the
cylinder is filling properly.
8. When air can no longer be heard flowing from the compressor fill hose into
the SEA, completely open the compressor valve. Verify the cylinder has been
filled to its maximum capacity as marked.
9. While holding the first stage and fill adapter secure, close the handwheel
on the compressor valve. Close the handwheel on the SEA and depressurize
the system.
10. Open the bleed valve screw on the compressor fill yoke to relieve the
line pressure.
11. While holding the SEA cylinder, loosen the yoke screw on the compressor
fill yoke and remove it from the fill adapter. Return the compressor fill yoke to
its storage location.
12. Unscrew the fill adapter from the fill port. Replace protector cap on the
threaded male fitting of the fill adapter.
13. Return the fill adapter to its storage location.
14. Check that the o-ring on the fill port cap is present, not damaged and seated
evenly at the base of the cap. Thread the fill port cap back into the fill port until
finger-tight.
