Removing The Din Connector From The Cylinder Valve; User Care And Maintenance - Aqua Lung Conshelf XIV User Manual

Removing the DIN Connector from the Cylinder Valve

1. Turn the DIN handwheel clockwise to loosen and remove the first stage from
the cylinder valve.
2. Dry the protector 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 protector cap over the first stage threaded inlet fitting and seal it
securely in place by turning the DIN handwheel counter-clockwise.
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 seal the protector
cap over the opening of the valve to prevent the entrance of moisture or debris.

USER CARE AND MAINTENANCE

It is important to provide the proper preventative maintenance in order to ensure
the best possible performance and maximum life of your Aqua Lung Regulator.
The following maintenance procedures should be performed routinely after each
use to ensure that the regulator is cleaned, inspected and prepared for the next
use or for storage.
Aqua Lung America recommends that the second stage regulator be disinfected
periodically using an FDA approved solution.
As soon as possible after diving, the regulator should be rinsed thoroughly with
fresh water while it is attached to a cylinder and pressurized with air.
Rinsing alone, however, will not sufficiently clean the regulator. To clean the regulator
as thoroughly as possible, Aqua Lung recommends using the following procedures:
CAUTION:
screw or DIN handwheel if the regulator is submerged unpressurized.
Doing so will allow the entrance of moisture and will require that the
regulator be returned to an Authorized Aqua Lung Technician for service.
DO NOT depress the purge button, loosen the first stage yoke
