Micra Air System Owner's Manual 5
The M.A.S. is intended for use only as an alternate air
source to assist the diver in making an emergency ascent.
Due to its limited volume, it must not be relied upon as a
primary air source under any circumstances. (For more
information about the M.A.S. cylinder volume, see the
section titled Technical Specifications.)
DO NOT apply any type of petroleum-based lubricant,
such as household oil or motor oil to any part of the
M.A.S. The M.A.S. does not require any lubrication
under normal circumstances, except that which is per-
formed during annual inspection and service by a factory
trained service technician.
DO NOT apply any type of aerosol spray to the M.A.S.
Doing so may cause permanent damage to certain plastic
components, including the second-stage housing.
The entrance of water into the M.A.S. must be prevented
whenever possible by ending each dive with air pressure
remaining inside the cylinder. Whenever the system has
been completely emptied of air underwater (or where
moisture may have otherwise entered the cylinder), you
must return the M.A.S. as soon as possible to an Autho-
rized Aqua Lung Dealer for visual inspection and any
necessary service before attempting to refill it.
Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Avia-
tion Administration (FAA) regulations prohibit passen-
gers from transporting cylinders containing compressed
air or other gases aboard commercial airlines. Com-
pletely discharge your M.A.S. before bringing it onboard
a commercial aircraft, and advise an airline representa-
tive that you have done so upon checking in.
When diving in cold water (below 50°F, or 10°C) you must
have received training and certification in the techniques
of cold water diving from a recognized certification
agency. (See following section, titled, Cold Water Diving.)
