Post Dive; Equipment Care And Maintenance; Care - Uwatec MK25 EVO T Manual

⚠ WARNING
If a SCUBA is configured for and used by more than one diver at the same time, then
it shall not be used at depths greater than 30 meters and in water temperature less
than 4°C if marked "EN250A" and 10°C If marked with "EN250A>10°C"
⚠ WARNING
In extremely cold water diving, SCUBAPRO recommends the use of a cylinder
equipped with two separate valves, connected to two complete regulators.
7.3 Post dive
Close the cylinder valve and drain the system by pushing on the purge button of each
second stage. Once the system has been depressurized disconnect the first stage regulator
from the valve. All inlets must be closed with the provided protective caps to avoid the
entry of debris, dirt or moisture (Img. 1 and Img. 2). If the cylinder valve is equipped with a
reserve system the rod should be put in the "open" position (fully lowered) to indicate that
the cylinder needs to be filled.

8. EQUIPMENT CARE AND MAINTENANCE

8.1 Care

SCUBAPRO regulators are precision devices that are essential to the diver's safety. For this
reason SCUBAPRO uses only materials that have been selected, after thorough testing, as
the best for efficiency and durability.
To ensure that your SCUBAPRO regulator is always in perfect condition, a minimum of care
and maintenance is required.
After every dive and especially if in chlorinated water (pools), rinse the regulator with fresh
water, preventing water from entering the system by following these steps:
1. Ensure that the high pressure inlet of the first stage regulator is closed with the special
protective cap.
2. Check that the anti-set anti-engraving device, available on the R195 and G260 (Img.7)
second stages is not engaged.
3. Should water accidentally enter the low pressure hose, connect the regulator to the
cylinder, open the valve and press the second stage purge button down until all water
has been expelled.
4. Dry your regulator completely in a dry ventilated place, away from heat and direct sunlight.
⚠ WARNING
Open the cylinder valve only with a regulator connected to the cylinder or slowly
turning the cylinder valve knob as to control the air flow.
