Aqua Lung EBIS-3000 User Manual page 11

NOTE: The EBIS will fill with the handwheel in the "OFF" position (red
indicator ring visible). In this position the dial pressure gauge will not
register pressure. This is not recommended.
8. While holding the first stage and
fill adapter secure, slowly open the
handwheel to pressurize the system
(Fig. 9).
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.
9. While supporting the cylinder with one hand, very slowly open the handwheel
on the supply cylinder to begin filling (do not exceed a fill rate of 300 PSI / 20.7
BAR per minute). Make sure the dial pressure gauge shows that the cylinder
is filling properly.
10. When air can no longer be heard flowing from the supply cylinder into the
EBIS, completely open the supply cylinder valve. Verify the cylinder has been
filled to its maximum capacity as marked.
11. While holding the first stage and fill adapter secure, close the handwheel on the
supply cylinder. Close the handwheel on the EBIS and depressurize the system.
12. Open the bleed valve screw on the fill adapter to relieve the line pressure.
13. While supporting the EBIS cylinder with one hand, loosen the yoke screw
on the fill adapter and remove it from the supply cylinder valve.
14. Unscrew the fill adapter from the fill port. Replace the dust cap over the
inlet fitting and tighten the yoke screw finger-tight. Replace protector cap on the
threaded male fitting of the fill adapter.
15. Return the fill adapter to its storage location.
16. 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.
