Regulator Owner’s Manual
............................................................................................
Preparation And Setup
Hose Attachment
Apeks recommends that you take your regulator to your authorised dealer
for the installation of any accessory items, including instrumentation,
medium pressure (MP) quick disconnect hoses, and alternative air source
second stages. Your dealer can also answer any questions you may have
pertaining to the information in this manual. If it is not possible to return
your regulator and accessories to your Apeks Authorised Dealer, you
may install the accessories yourself carefully performing the steps in the
following procedure.
WARNING: The use of non-genuine aftermarket products
can affect performance and test accreditation. Aftermarket
products may not be compatible and may also have
detrimental effect or cause damage to your regulator.
It is always recommended that your dealer assembles your regulator with all
your ancillary requirements. As this is not always possible please follow the
following steps, to ensure correct tment of the ight second stage. Your
Apeks Flight regulator should be supplied with a lightweight hose tted with
the Tool Free Connection. If this is not the case, for example; when using
Flight alternative air sources or Flight octopus second stages please follow
the following steps:
(1) Firstly ensure the hose nut is able to
rotate freely without turning the hose.
Visually check the thread on the second
stage inlet, removing any particles
or debris. Do not use any grease or
lubricants as the composite material
does not require it.
(2) Screw the
hose nut on to
the inlet tting
until it stops,
ensuring the
threads do not
cross.
