  • Page 5 WARNINg: IMPROPER USE OF ANY UNDERWATER DIVINg EQUIPMENT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. DO NOT DIVE WITHOUT PROPER TRAININg. ONLINE TRAINING In the interest of sharing the most accurate and up-to-date information on accepted diving practices, Brownie’s Third Lung has teamed up with Scuba-Training.net to provide free online dive training with the purchase of each Surface Supplied Hookah System.
  • Page 6 Your Third Lung is designed for shallow water, unobstructed diving and should never be used in enclosed areas, such as caves, shipwrecks or ledge overhangs. The Third Lung is stable in calm sea conditions. Care should be exercised when conditions are rough to avoid swamping or inverting the unit. Breaking waves, similar to those found in the surf zone, may invert or swamp the Third Lung.
  • Page 7 STEP 3 STARTINg THE UNIT Serious burns may resulting from touching hot surfaces of the Engine. Please read the Engine Owner’s Manual. 1. Make sure the oil reservoir and gas tanks are full. Refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual. 2. Put the fuel switch in the “ON” position. 3.
  • Page 8 STEP 5 MOUNTINg. Feed heat hose through oval hole in bottom of pan and also through the middle of the tube. Place entire pan into the tube. The mounting straps on the compressor pan are lined up with corresponding straps on the tube cover. Snap the buckles together and adjust straps.
  • Page 9 Figure 8 Figure 9 STEP 9 HOW TO USE THE DROP WEIgHT CUMMERBELT WITH AN EgRESSOR PACKAgE: Follow above steps 1-5. Then unzip the sleeve that came with the Cummerbelt, and put aside. You will no longer need this sleeve unless there are times that you choose to dive without the Egressor scuba system.
  • Page 10 BEACH LAUNCHINg 1. When launching from the beach, first determine whether the surf will allow safe entry. 2. Breaking surf may flip the unit. Having a gripI on the unit in and out of surf zone is essential. 3. DO NOT LET REGULATORS DRAG IN THE SAND. The float is equipped with straps to secure all hoses for easy carrying. Start the unit on the beach or in calm, waist deep water. The pressure release valve on the compressor should evacuate a sporadic puff of air or a light continuous flow. Breathing on the regulators should stop the flow indicating that the air is being properly regulated. Push the unit into the current or wind and allow it to drift the length of the hose. 5. Deploy the diver hoses attaching them to the belts.
  • Page 11 STORAgE If you are going to be storing the unit for more than 2 months you will need to drain the gasoline completely in three different areas. Remember that you will need to have some sort of container to catch the fuel as it is draining. To do this turn off the gas feed switch and allow the engine to run until it shuts off.
  • Page 12 EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE In the unlikely event that you accidentally submerge your unit, the situation can be saved if you ACT QUICKLY and DON’T PANIC. Get everything onboard or ashore. Rinse everything with fresh water including the engine. Open compressor heads and rinse. At this point you may transport the unit to a qualified technician or if you are comfortable with the follow- ing steps you may do them yourself. 2. Do not attempt to run the engine. There is a chance that the motor will “water lock” when it is flooded with seawater. If you force the engine to turn, you risk more damage. Do not do this. Get the following items together: New spark plug/Gap, 3 pints of natural 10W30, set of wrenches/ratchets, screw- drivers – both Phillips and slotted head, can of starter fluid.
