POST-DIVE INSPECTION

NOTE: If fresh water is available, rinse your regulator completely before
depressurizing it. This will help to prevent any contaminants from entering
sealing surfaces inside the regulator.
NOTE: It is very important to use care when removing the regulator first
stage from the cylinder valve to ensure that moisture does not enter the
inlet opening.

General Procedures

1. Shut off the cylinder air supply by turning the cylinder valve handwheel
clockwise until it stops. DO NOT over tighten.
2. Ensure the FCD is switched to the open position and depress the purge
button on the second stage. Observe the submersible pressure gauge, when
it reads zero psi and airflow can no longer be heard from the second stage,
release the purge button.

Removing the Yoke Connector from the Cylinder Valve

1. Turn the yoke screw counter-clockwise to loosen and remove the first stage
from the cylinder valve.
2. Dry the dust cap with a towel or other lint free cloth. While you may use air
from your cylinder valve to blow the water off the dust cap, you run the risk of
blowing water into the filter.
3. Place the dust cap over the first stage inlet fitting and seal it securely in place
by tightening down the yoke screw.
4. With the cylinder valve facing away from you, open the valve slightly to
release a short burst of air, and then immediately close the valve. This will
clear any moisture that may have entered the valve opening. Immediately
place the protector cap over the opening of the valve to prevent the entrance
of moisture or debris.
