Aqua Lung SEA MK User Manual page 5

WARNING: DO NOT apply any type of petroleum-based lubricant, such
as household oil or motor oil to any part of the SEA. The SEA does not
require any lubrication under normal circumstances, except during
service performed by a factory trained service technician.
WARNING: It is important to ensure that the SEA is always pressurized
whenever it is submerged in order to prevent the entrance of water into
the system. If the system has been completely emptied of air underwater,
it is important to return the SEA as soon as possible to a factory trained
service technician for visual inspection and any necessary service
before attempting to refill it.
WARNING: It is important to fill the SEA only with dry, filtered air with a
water vapor content that does not exceed -65°F / -53ºC dew point. Excess
water vapor in the air can cause ice to form inside the SEA and interfere
with the operation of the system at colder temperatures.
NOTE: When instructed to remove, unscrew or loosen a part, turn the part
counter-clockwise.
When instructed to install, screw, or tighten a part, turn the part clockwise.
NOTE: The method used to depressurize your SEA system will depend on
its configuration:
SEA w/ handwheel : Depress the second stage purge button for 5 seconds and
release for 5 seconds. Repeat this procedure until the system is depressurized.
SEA w/o handwheel: Breathe unit down by taking 5 breaths from the second stage
and pause for 5 seconds. Repeat this procedure until the system is depressurized.
NOTE: When instructed to "OPEN" the handwheel, turn the handwheel
counter-clockwise. The red indicator ring will not be visible in the
handwheel window, this indicates the system is in the "ON" position.
When instructed to "CLOSE" the handwheel, turn the handwheel clockwise.
The red indicator ring will be visible in the handwheel window, this indicates
the system is in the"OFF" position.
