Regulator Owner’s Manual

............................................................................................

7. Adjustable models should be stored with the inhalation control knob turned all the way out (anti-clockwise), away from the regulator body. This will help to extend the life of the low pressure seat.

8. When the regulator is completely dry, store it in a clean box or sealed inside a plastic bag. Do not store it where it may be exposed to extreme heat or an electric motor which produces ozone. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat, ozone, chlorine and ultraviolet rays can cause premature degradation of rubber parts and components.

9. Never store the regulator while it is connected to the cylinder valve.

10. Do not use any type of solvent or petroleum based substances to clean or lubricate any part of the regulator. Do not expose any part of the regulator to aerosol spray, as some aerosol propellants attack or degrade rubber and plastic materials.

Dealer Service & Repair

1. It cannot be assumed that a regulator is in good working order on the basis that it has received little use since it was last serviced.

Remember that prolonged or improper storage can still result in internal corrosion and/or deterioration of O-ring seals.

2. You must obtain factory prescribed service for your regulator at least once a year from an authorised dealer, regardless of the amount of use it has received. Your regulator may require this service more frequently, depending on the amount of use it receives and the environmental conditions in which it is used.

3. If the regulator is used for rental or training purposes, it will require complete overhaul and factory prescribed service every three to six months or 50 hours continual use. Chlorinated swimming pool water is an especially damaging environment for SCUBA equipment, due to the high levels of chlorine and pH balancing chemicals which cause certain components to rapidly deteriorate.

4. DO NOT attempt to perform any disassembly or service of your regulator. Doing so may cause the regulator to malfunction, and will render the Apeks warranty null and void. All service must be performed by an authorised dealer.
