Spirit Regulator Second Stage Disassembly CAUTION: Whenever possible, use only plastic or brass O-ring tools for removing O-rings in order to prevent damage to the sealing surface. Steel instru- ments, such as dental picks, can easily damage the sealing surface of a softer brass part, causing irrepa- rable leakage and requiring the part to be replaced with new. - Page 13 NOTE: The orifice is O-ring sealed, and it will remain inside the air barrel after it has been unthreaded. The following step must be performed to remove the orifice without damaging its polished sealing surface. Copyright ©2011 XS Scuba...

Spirit Regulator Final Testing Procedures CAUTION: If the regulator will be used with EAN/ Nitrox, it is important to pressurize and flow test the regulator using only hydrocarbon-free gas. The regulator will otherwise become contaminated with hydrocarbons if normal compressed air is used. Industrial grade compressed Nitrogen is strongly recommended as a lower cost alternative to EAN/ Nitrox for the purposes of flow testing. -
