8 Micra Air System Owner's Manual

Filling Procedures - General

NOTE: The average duration of air supply listed in the
Technical Specifications section of this manual is based on a
completely full M.A.S. cylinder, filled to exactly 3,000 psi with
a total volume of 2.5 cubic feet of air. It is strongly recom-
mended that the M.A.S. be filled to exactly 3,000 psi (cold fill),
in order to provide maximum breath volume.
1. Before attempting to fill the M.A.S., ensure that the fill
adapter and first-stage are completely dry - especially in
the area surrounding the high pressure port.
2. Examine the markings stamped on the cylinder below
the neck to determine the month and date of manufac-
ture, which also indicates when the cylinder was hydro-
statically tested. (See Fig. 2.) If the markings do not
indicate that it has been tested within the past five years,
return it immediately to an Authorized Aqua Lung
Dealer to obtain visual inspection and a hydrostatic test.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to fill the M.A.S. if its markings
do not indicate that it has been tested within the past five
years by a qualified hydrostatic testing facility. Doing so may
result in rupture or explosion, which could lead to serious
injury or death. (The 1.7cf H.A.B.D. cylinder is exempt.)
