ATTACHING THE MP HOSE TO THE FIRST STAGE

Apeks recommends that you bring your buoyancy compensator, together with your regulator, to your
authorized dealer for the installation of the MP inflator hose and other accessories. The retailer can also
answer any questions you may have pertaining to the information in this manual.
If it is not possible to return the BC with your regulator to your authorized dealer, you may install the MP
quick disconnect inflator hose by carefully performing the steps in the following procedure.
1. Remove the inflator hose from the power inflator
body by gripping the grooved sleeve over the quick
disconnect coupling with your thumb and forefinger.
Slide the sleeve back.
2. Remove the port plug from an MP port on the regulator
using an appropriately sized wrench.
WARNING: DO NOT connect the inflator hose
to a high pressure (HP) port (greater than 200
psi / 14 bar). This may cause the hose to burst
when pressurized, which can result in serious
injury. If you are unsure which regulator port
is medium pressure (MP) or high pressure
(HP), consult your regulator owner's manual
or your dealer before attaching the hose.
3. Check to ensure the o-ring is present and in good
condition. Screw the threaded end of the hose into
the port and tighten to 40 in-lbs (4.5 Nm) with a 9/16"
wrench.
