Regulator Owner's Manual
1. Check the second stage IVS/RVS control switch to ensure that it is set to the "MIN" (-) position prior to connecting your regulator to the cylinder.
2. If present, gently turn the inhalation control knob "in" (clockwise), only until it stops. Do not apply excessive pressure.
3. If you are using a cylinder with a yoke connection valve, check the cylinder valve O-ring is fitted and not worn or damaged. If you are using a high pressure cylinder with a DIN connection valve, remove the protector cap from the first stage to inspect the sealing O-ring of toe DIN connector. If toe sealing O-ring is damaged or worn, replace it before mounting the regulator on the cylinder valve.
Attaching the First Stage to a Cylinder Valve (Yoke Connection)
WARNING: OPEN VALVES SLOWLY TO AVOID OVER-PRESSURISATION. When pressurising your SCUBA system, be sure to open the cylinder valve slowly to minimise the generation of heat. Failure to do so, with Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN) present, increases the risk of combustion that can lead to serious injury or death.
It is considered safe practice, especially when using EAN, to open the cylinder valve slowly and let the first stage pressurise slowly. Rapid pressurisation causes adiabatic compression of the breathing gas, which generates heat inside the first stage. Heat, along with elevated percentages of oxygen and an ignition source (from contamination) are the ingredients that can cause combustion. This is why it is
