SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NEVER use this product underwater without receiving TRAINING and CERTIFICATION in the technique of SCUBA diving from a recognized
certification agency. Use of this equipment by a person who is not certified by a recognized agency shall render all warranties, express or
implied, null and void. Use of underwater breathing devices by uncertified or untrained persons is dangerous and can result in severe injury or
death.
Xtreme 6 is recommended for depths less than 30 feet.
NEVER dive with a system that shows signs of damage, leakage or substandard performance.
NEVER OVERFILL the system above 3000 psi, the air pressure stamped on the cylinder. ONLY use purified, dry compressed breathing air when
refilling cylinder.
DO NOT fill or use the system if it has been exposed to extreme heat exceeding 250°F, or open flame. Instead, discharge the cylinder
completely and return it to an Authorized Dealer for inspection and possible hydrostatic testing.
NEVER breathe completely empty underwater. Water will enter inner stages of the regulator and may result in internal corrosion and require
service. ALWAYS rise to the surface when the pressure gauge shows 500.
ALWAYS dive with Xtreme 6 full – less starting pressure means less time underwater.
NEVER leave the Xtreme 6 standing upright. ALWAYS store lying down to prevent damage in case of tipping over.
NEVER rise up to the surface faster than your air bubbles.
NEVER hold your breath underwater. Breathe normally in and out during the whole dive.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Practice using Xtreme 6 in shallow water. Practice switching between the SNORKEL & DIVE modes on the Snorkelator. The amount of air you
will receive will vary based on your lung capacity, depth, water temperature, exertion level, etc.
Xtreme 6 utilizes a dry snorkel; however some water may still enter the snorkel. To clear the Snorkelator, tilt your head to the RIGHT and
exhale sharply. Repeat occasionally to keep clear.
Xtreme 6 is shipped empty – fill prior to use using the included #920C Air Compressor Refill Adapter at your local dive shop, or fill from a full
cylinder (3000 psi +) using the included #910S Scuba Tank Refill Adapter.
The harness does NOT have built in buoyancy.
The harness has pockets for optional weights, depending on your size & weight you may want to use them to help you dive underwater easier.
DO NOT overweight yourself.
ALWAYS wear dive fins when using Xtreme 6.
Some components may come in different colors than shown online and in manual.

- Page 2 FILLING CYLINDER USING #920C AIR COMPRESSOR REFILL ADAPTER (For dive shop full size air compressor) 1. Attach #920C Adapter onto Refill Port until finger tight ONLY. Note: Apply small amount of food grade silicone grease to threads. Note: Do not apply a wrench or otherwise overtighten. 2. Attach the yoke from the compressor to the Adapter and fill to 3000 psi. 3. Turn the On/Off Knob counter‐clockwise until it is completely open. 4. When full, press the 2 Stage Purge Button to bleed. 5. Check the Pressure Indicator. If tank is full, the Dial Gauge will read 3000 psi. 6. Store Xtreme 6 Kit with On/Off Knob in the OFF position until ready to dive. FILLING CYLINDER USING #910S SCUBA TANK REFILL ADAPTER FROM A FULL SCUBA TANK WARNING: If the Refill Port or Refill Adapter threads are damaged or worn these parts will require replacement. Continued use may cause injury. CAUTION: Ensure the Valve is firmly attached to the cylinder (hand tight, no tools required). NOTE: Due to the volume of the 6 cu.ft. cylinder, we recommend that it be filled from a dive shop to ensure a complete fill and maintain full air supply in your main cylinder. 1. Remove black rubber dust cover from Refill Port on Tank Valve/1 Stage Regulator combo. 2. Apply small amount of food grade silicone grease to Refill Port threads with your finger. 3. Screw Refill Adapter onto Refill Port until finger tight. DO NOT apply a wrench or otherwise overtighten. 4. Turn silver bleed ring on Adapter back and forth (open/close) several times to ensure proper function. Turn bleed ring to closed (clockwise) position. 5. Attach Refill Adapter to SCUBA cylinder valve. 6. Turn the On/Off Knob counter‐clockwise until it is completely open/on. 7. Open SCUBA cylinder valve very slowly just until you can hear air passing from one cylinder to the other. IMPORTANT: SUPPORT THE XTREME CYLINDER DURING FILLING. ...
- Page 3 BEFORE USING THE SNORKELATOR 1. Ensure that the Snorkelator is securely attached to the regulator. 2. Familiarize yourself with the operation of the Snorkelator & practice turning the dial to each function several times: Turn the dial to ‘SNORKEL’ when breathing off the snorkel (dial is pointing toward the snorkel). Silicone Gasket (black portion holds snorkel to regulator) Turn the dial to ‘DIVE’ to breathe off the regulator (dial is pointing to the regulator). PRE‐DIVE CHECK 1. SLOWLY open the On/Off Knob counter‐clockwise to pressurize the regulator. 2. Check that there are no audible leaks. NEVER DIVE with a regulator that shows any signs of leakage when pressurized. 3. Visually check Dial Gauge for needle to be within green zone. 4. Push Purge Button down and release. Purge Button should move up and down freely. To maintain full pressure do not purge unnecessarily. ...
- Page 4 USING SPARE AIR XTREME 6 1. Ensure the dial is in SNORKEL mode and place the mouthpiece in your mouth. 2. After entering the water, practice switching the dial between SNORKEL and DIVE modes. 3. When ready to submerge, turn the dial to DIVE mode and ensure air is flowing through the regulator. 4. Breathe normally and enjoy your dive. DO NOT hold your breath. 5. When surfacing, keep dial in DIVE position until snorkel is above water. 6. At the surface, take in a full breath from SCUBA, then turn the dial to SNORKEL mode. 7. Exhale sharply into the mouthpiece to clear water from snorkel. If water remains in the snorkel, tilt head to the right, take a deep breath, and exhale sharply again. 8. Take small, slow, steady breaths to maximize the duration of air supply. 9. Regularly check your Pressure Gauge and return to the surface when pressure gauge shows 500 psi. Note: Do not use until completely empty underwater as water will flood the internal components and will therefore require service and cleaning. POST‐DIVE NOTE: Rinsing should occur as soon as possible after diving. 1. Remove unit from waist harness. 2. Before rinsing, check Pressure Gauge and make sure Xtreme 6 is not empty (has some pressure) to prevent entrance of moisture into the system. Refill if necessary. CAUTION: If empty, water may have entered the regulator and cylinder and could lead to corrosion and/or failure of the system. Refer to Maintenance section. 3. Soak the whole Xtreme 6 unit (pressurized & ON) for at least 30 minutes in fresh water after each use. Rinse the 2 Stage and Snorkelator thoroughly to remove salt water and/or sand. 4. Turn the Snorkelator dial several times between DIVE and SNORKEL mode while rinsing in clean, fresh water. 5.
