    AquaLung 1 GB 12/08/05 14:33 Page 11 7 - Visually check that there is no dust or debris present which could enter the mouthpiece. CAUTION Never try to clean out a foreign body from the mouthpiece using a pointed instrument. 8 - Check that the needle on your submersible pressure gauge is on zero.

  • Page 12: Diving With The Regulator

    It can be difficult to pass your Mistral mouthpiece to another diver. Therefore, Aqua Lung discourages the use of a breathable inflator or any form of alternate breathing where as the diver would be required to give his Mistral mouthpiece to another diver. CAUTION When entering the water by jumping, take care to hold the mouthpiece in your mouth using your hand.
  • Page 13 AquaLung 1 GB 12/08/05 14:33 Page 13 The position of the mouthpiece relative to the second stage diaphragm is essential to avoid free-flows at the surface or in the water when the mouthpiece is not in your mouth: - When the mouthpiece is situated above the second stage diaphragm, the regulator will free-flow.
  • Page 14 AquaLung 1 GB 12/08/05 14:33 Page 14 WARNING DO NOT unscrew the screw connections when adjusting the corrugated hoses. WARNING Do not squeeze the corrugated hoses during the dive, as this will have the effect of reducing the regulator’s respiratory performance. If you have water in the mouthpiece, lean your head to the left and exhale to facilitate evacuation of water.

  • Page 15: Cold Water Diving

    AquaLung 1 GB 12/08/05 14:33 Page 15 5. COLD WATER DIVING WARNING The long MP hose configuration (630 mm) is the one approved for cold water diving according to the EN 250 standard. To avoid the risks of ice formation in the regulator when diving in cold water (water temperature below 50ºF / 10°C), follow at least these recommendations: 1 - Protect your regulator against any accidental entry of water into the 1st or 2nd stages.
  • Page 16 AquaLung 1 GB 12/08/05 14:33 Page 16 CAUTION Do not breathe from the mouthpiece when the regulator is not under pressure. This could damage the diaphragm and/or the valves. NOTE When you disconnect the first stage from the cylinder valve take care that water is not allowed to enter the regulator, particularly via the filter.

  • Page 17: Dealer Inspection & Service

    You must obtain factory prescribed service for your regulator at least once a year from an Authorized Aqua Lung Dealer, regardless of the amount of use it has received.
