SECOND STAGE
The LW second stage incorporates a position
keying feature that enables the user to adjust
orientation of the second stage body in relation to
the mouthpiece. This unique feature keeps the hose
closer to the body and allows for more flexibility in
various cylinder mounting configurations.
The mouthpiece to body default position is
horizontal which allows the hose to route either to
the right or left of the second stage. If using the
nose clip, the mouthpiece must be in the default
horizontal position. The mouthpiece boss on the
body is hexagonally shaped, which allows the
mouthpiece to rotate to six different positions (Fig. 8).
WARNING:
separating from the regulator body during deployment.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure LW second stage is securely attached to a first stage via the hose, and that there
is an adequate supply of high pressure air in the cylinder.
To breathe from the LW second stage, simply place the mouthpiece into mouth and
then, inhale and exhale.
The recommended way of fitting the LW second stage is as follows:
1. Insert mouthpiece into mouth.
2. Take nose clip between forefinger and thumb as shown (Fig. 9).
3. Apply pressure onto the nose clip via the forefinger and thumb. The nasal pads will
now be open (Fig. 10).
4. Place onto nose and release the pressure.
When using the LW second stage in an emergency underwater, firstly, expel any water from
the LW second stage by purging or exhaling into the regulator, and then begin breathing as
normal. Further exhaling will clear any other small amounts of water trapped inside the regulator.
To purge the LW second stage, simply depress center of the front cover. This will discharge
large quantities of gas expelling any water trapped inside the regulator.
