Deep Diving – Deeper than the generally recognized recreational diving limit at 1 feet of seawater. Decompression Diving – At combined depth and duration exposures requiring mandatory decompression stops. Cold Water Diving – Diving in water temperatures less than 0ºF (10ºC) may require special techniques to avoid conditions that could result in freezing conditions inside regulators and valves.

WARNING Nitrox: The SR1 is manufactured for use with standard air or enriched air nitrox (EAN) with an oxygen component not to exceed 0% at a maximum pressure of 00 psi (20) bar. If the regulator is used with standard air at any time it will no longer be suitable for use with nitrox unless it is reconditioned for nitrox use by a dealer or other expert trained in the proper cleaning methods.

CAUTION After your SR1 and associated equipment has been configured be certain to assemble the unit to a diving cylinder and perform a simple test dive in shallow water in a controlled environment such as a pool to verify that the system performs normally and you are familiar with its operating characteristics.
OPERATION NOTICE: The SR1 first stage is designed with a dry sealed spring chamber to keep water and other substances out of the interior of the first stage. This not only reduces interior corrosion of the first stage, it prevents ice formation in the spring chamber in cold water diving situations.

ADJUSTMENT DURING THE DIVE The SR1 has only one user adjustment, the second stage knob. Adjusting this knob affects both the breathing effort and the venturi assisting effect. The operation of this knob is the same as most regulators of this type, and the easiest way to remember the operation is to think of the wheels on a car.

When diving at the surface or when the regulator is out of the water, it is important to adjust the regulator sensitivity to the least sensitive position (rolled back, fully “IN”) to stop the venturi assisting effect and minimize the possibility of uncontrolled free flow of air.
