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.

5. While supporting the cylinder with one hand, very slowly open the

compressor 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Open the bleed valve screw on the fill adapter to relieve the line pressure.

9. While supporting the SEA cylinder with one hand, unscrew the adapter nut

and remove it from the fill port. Replace protector cap on the threaded male

fitting of the fill adapter.

10. Return the fill adapter to its storage location.

11. 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.
