6. USER CARE & MAINTENANCE

It is important to provide the proper preventative maintenance in order to

ensure the best possible performance and maximum life of your Aqua Lung

Regulator. The following maintenance procedures should be performed routi-

nely after each use to ensure that the regulator is cleaned, inspected, and pre-

pared for the next use or for storage.

As soon as possible after diving, the regulator should be rinsed thoroughly with

fresh water while it is attached to a cylinder and pressurized with air.

Rinsing alone, however, will not sufficiently clean the regulator. To clean the

regulator as thoroughly as possible Aqua Lung recommends:

. Attach the regulator to a charged SCUBA cylinder, open the cylinder valve to

pressurize the regulator, and thoroughly soak both the first and second-stages

in a bath of fresh water.

. While the regulator is soaking, move the vane adjustment switch on the

second stage (if present) back and forth several times from the “MIN” (or “—”)

to the “MAX” (or “+”) settings. You may also turn the valve adjustment knob

(adjustable models) slightly back and forth—no more than 1/4 turn.

After the regulator has been properly soaked, it is important to rinse it vigo-

rously by flushing the mainspring cavity of the first stage regulator (non-environ-

mentally sealed models only), the second-stage mouthpiece, and the openings

in the second-stage front cover with a pressurized stream of water. This will

remove the deposits of salt and minerals that were loosened during soaking.

DANGER : if you use a garden hose, do not use the high pressure jet as this

could damage the diaphragm and the internal valve.

WARNING : DO NOT depress the purge button, loosen the first stage yoke

screw, or turn the second stage adjustment knob all the way “out” (adjustable

models) if the regulator is submerged unpressurized. Doing so will allow the

entrance of moisture, and will require that the regulator be returned to an

Authorized Aqua Lung Dealer for service.
