User Care & Maintenance
It is important to provide the proper preventative mainte-
nance in order to ensure the best possible performance and
maximum life of your Micra Air System. The following
maintenance procedures should be performed routinely after
each use of the equipment.
1. After each day of diving, the M.A.S must be cleaned,
inspected, and prepared for the next use, or for storage.
2. As soon as possible after diving, the M.A.S. should be
removed from its holster and soaked thoroughly for at
least one hour in warm (not over 120°F) tap water to
loosen and dissolve salt and mineral deposits. Before
soaking, turn the valve to the "ON" position to pressur-
ize the system. This will best prevent the entrance of
moisture into the system through the second-stage.
CAUTION: If the M.A.S. cylinder does not contain air, it is
important to ensure that the valve is completely turned to the
"OFF" position, and the second-stage purge button is not
depressed while the system is submerged or wet. Moisture
may otherwise be allowed to enter the valves and the cylin-
der, which will require that the system be returned to an
Authorized Aqua Lung Dealer for inspection and service.
3. After the system has been properly soaked, it is impor-
tant to rinse it vigorously by flushing the mainspring
cavity of the first-stage, the second-stage mouthpiece,
