DO'S AND DON'TS:
Do set up your equipment carefully before each dive and check your entire system for signs
of damage, loose hose fittings, and air leaks. Make sure the yoke knob or DIN connection is
hand tight before turning on your air supply. Purge the regulator and take a test breath before
entering the water.
Do not use your regulator if you notice any problems or malfunctions. Return it to the factory
or authorized dealer to have it checked or repaired.
Do not pick up your tank by the hoses. You may damage them or work loose a connection
that could lead to loss of air.
POST DIVE CARE:
A simple fresh water rinse after every dive to clean the regulator of salt, sand or dirt is all that is
required. Do not rinse or soak the regulator in solutions containing bleach as this can permanently
damage the silicone rubber components. Dry or blow off any water in the first stage dust cap and
fit it in place. Rinse through the ambient ports of the first stage (unless fitted with an anti-freeze kit)
and through the mouthpiece of the second stage. Rinsing is particularly important with the chrome

CAUTION
plated brass first stages (M1, B2, Z2/Z3) to maintain it in top condition and keep the chrome
looking attractive. Avoid soaking the regulator unpressurized, as water may enter the second stage
and first stage mechanism. If the second stage is purged when it is rinsed or soaked, it is a good
idea to re-connect the regulator to a tank and blow out any water that may have entered the first or
second stage.
Store the regulator away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and deterioration of the rubber and
plastic parts. Keep away from excessive heat, humidity or insects.
