Preparation And Setup; General Filling Procedures - Aqua Lung SEA MK User Manual

PREPARATION AND SETUP

The purpose of this manual is to familiarize personnel with the correct setup,
filling, inspection and maintenance of the SEA.
The SEA is packaged fully assembled and ready to use after it has been filled
with air. Before using, it is very important to carefully read and understand the
procedures outlined in this manual.

General Filling Procedures

NOTE: The average duration of air supply listed in the Technical Specifications
section of this manual is based upon the maximum fill pressure as marked
on the cylinder. It is strongly recommended that the cylinder be filled to its
maximum fill pressure (cold fill), in order to provide maximum breath volume.
1. Before attempting to fill the SEA, ensure that the fill adapter and first stage
are completely dry – especially in the area surrounding the fill port.
2. The SEA is configured with a 3000 PSI (207 BAR) aluminum cylinder. Examine
the cylinder markings to determine the maximum fill pressure. Aluminum cylinders
must have a current visual inspection (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Aluminum cylinders do not require hydrostatic re-testing. (Fig. 2).
