Service & Repair Manual - Glacia Second-Stage Regulator

INTRODUCTION

This manual provides factory prescribed procedures for the service and repair of the Glacia second stage
regulator. It is not intended to be used as an instructional manual for untrained personnel. The procedures
outlined within this manual are to be performed only by personnel who have received factory authorized
training through a factory sponsored Aqua Lung Service & Repair Seminar.
If you do not completely understand all of the procedures outlined in this manual, contact Aqua Lung to
speak directly with a Technical Advisor before proceeding any further.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, & NOTES
Pay special attention to information provided in warnings, cautions, and notes that are accompanied by one
of these symbols:
A WARNING indicates a procedure or situation that may result in serious injury or death if instructions
are not followed correctly.
A CAUTION indicates any situation or technique that will result in potential damage to the product, or
render the product unsafe if instructions are not followed correctly.
A NOTE is used to emphasize important points, tips, and reminders.

SCHEDULED SERVICE

Regulators should be given the same care and maintenance as life support equipment. For normal or
infrequent use, the Glacia first and second stages should be inspected after one year, and fully serviced after
two years. This yearly rotation of inspection and full service should continue for the life of the regulator.
NOTE: A unit that receives heavy or frequent use, such as in rental, instruction, or commercial
applications, should be serviced at least twice each year - or more often - depending on the conditions
of use and the manner in which it is maintained. (Refer to the care and maintenance procedures
outlined in the Regulator Owner's Manual.)

GENERAL GUIDELINES

1. In order to correctly perform the procedures outlined in this manual, it is important to follow each step
exactly in the order given. Read over the entire manual to become familiar with all procedures before
attempting to disassemble or service the Glacia second-stage, and to learn which specialty tools and
replacement parts will be required. Keep the manual open beside you for reference while performing
each procedure. Do not rely on memory.
2. All service and repair should be carried out in a work area specifically set up and equipped for the task.
Adequate lighting, cleanliness, and easy access to all required tools are essential for maintaining a profes-
sional repair facility.
3. Before beginning any disassembly, it is important to first perform the Initial Inspection procedure, and
refer to "Table 1 - Troubleshooting" to determine the possible cause of any symptoms which may be
present.
