In any case the regulator should receive a standard service overhaul at least every two years to maintain optimal performance. The standard service overhaul includes disassembly, cleaning, inspection, replacement of seals, lubrication, reassembly and adjustments. Sherwood Scuba offers a standard service kit that contains the parts recommended to be replaced in combination with the standard service overhaul.

3000 psi. Again check intermediate pressure. It should not exceed 145 psi. The specified intermediate pressure for the SR1 & SR2 is 135+/- 10 psi. If intermediate pressure is out of range or leakage is present a standard service overhaul is recommended.
www.sherwoodscuba.com GENERAL COMMENTS NOTE – Read this section first before attempting to perform service. Read the entire set of procedures that follows before starting to service. Steps taken out of sequence or without the knowledge of the proper procedure could damage the regulator or otherwise complicate the service process. Refer to the Illustrated Parts List while performing service.
ENRICHED AIR NITROX SERVICE All SR1 & SR2 components & service kit has been designed and manufactured to allow the use of Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN) gas with an oxygen component not to exceed 40%. In order to maintain this option the user must ensure that the regulator is protected from the introduction of hydrocarbons.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS AND SUPPLIERS The specialty tools identified below may be purchased from your Sherwood Scuba Distributor. Common tools are available from several sources. Common Tools Open End Wrenches - 9/16”, 5/8”,1/2” Box End Wrench – 3/4” Hex Keys 1/4”, 5/32”,1/8”...
www.sherwoodscuba.com DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE Record the First Stage and Second Stage serial numbers and an inventory of all attached accessories before beginning disassembly. Perform an inspection of the regulator in accordance with the Annual Inspection Guidelines. This process will give the technician a reference point if the after the overhaul the regulator does not perform as expected. Remove all hoses attached to the first stage with a 9/16”...

If rotating the hex key results in the DIN Filter Housing and DIN Filter Retainer separating from the Body as a unit, this is acceptable but it will be necessary to separate the parts for reassembly. Place the DIN Filter Housing in a vise clamping over the flats on the largest diameter on the DIN Filter Housing.

Even the slightest nick or distortion of the seating surface may cause a high pressure leak when reassembled requiring disassembly of the first stage and replacement of the Piston Stem.

Scrub with a soft nylon bristle brush to remove deposits. b. If warm water soaking & scrubing does not remove mineral deposits, use a commercial grade heated ultrasonic cleaner. Sherwood Scuba recommends Lawrence-Factor’s LFW (CM-763215-CN) solution diluted with water (25% LFW/75% water) and a 3-10 min treatment.

www.sherwoodscuba.com INSPECTION AND LUBRICATION PROCEDURES General – Inspection and lubrication must be preceded by thorough cleaning to enable adequate exposure of damaged parts and proper application of lubricant. Inspection 22. Inspect all O-rings that are intended for reinstallation (26, 27, 34, 35 & 39), for signs of damage such as tears, cuts, deformation, brittleness or abrasion.
Page 16
www.sherwoodscuba.com 27. Inspect the Dry Chamber Diaphragm (18) for signs of damage such as cuts or tears. If damaged replace it. 28. Inspect the Yoke (36) and Yoke Retainger (10) for cracks or distortion. If deformed replace them. 29. Carefully inspect Body (1), Yoke Retainer (10) or Din Filter Housing (42), Port Swivel (3), Swivel Retainer (5) and first stage diaphragm Retainer Cap (17) for damage to threads.
The two back-up rings must have their cupped surfaces against the red o-ring. Picture also shows white piston guide (40) used in SR2 only; cone tool should not be used to install the Piston Guide.

www.sherwoodscuba.com 34. Install general lubricated O-ring (34) taking care to avoid damage to the O-ring as it passes over the threads on the Body. CAUTION – It is imperative that O-ring (37) is amply lubricated to minimize deformation when the HP seat retainer gets fully torqued over the o-ring, apply additional lubricant if needed.
Page 20
www.sherwoodscuba.com CAUTION – It is absolutely essential for the surface of the seat to be clean and free of any scratches, distortion or any contaminants to ensure it will seal against the incomming high pressure, failure to observe this precaution may result in leakage and possible damage to the regulator. 35.

www.sherwoodscuba.com If the first stage has a yoke type connector go to steps 38 thorough 42. If the first stage is a DIN type, go to step 43. 38. Install a new Filter in the Yoke Retainer and secure with the Retaining Ring (23) . Compress the Retaining Ring with Retaining Ring Pliers and insert it into the bore of the Yoke Retainer until it seats in its groove.

Dry Chamber Diaphragm (or remove cap and diaphragm and apply presure to pressure plate if working on SR2) and then purge the second stage. Repeat this cycle 10 to 15 times to ensure all internal com- ponents are moving freely. If the intermediate pressure does not stabilize within the specified range either the Seat or the sealing tip of the Piston Stem are damaged or contaminated.
