6. With the IVS/RVS lever (if fitted) set to (–) depress the purge button
momentarily to blow out any dust or debris which may have entered
the second stage. Release the purge button and listen to ensure that
the second stage does not continue to flow any air after the purge
button is released.
7. Inhale slowly and deeply from the regulator several times. The
regulator must deliver enough air for you to breathe easily without
noticeable resistance.
8. Check to ensure that the submersible pressure gauge is displaying an
accurate measurement of the air pressure inside the cylinder.
9. Check to ensure that the IVS/RVS control switch (if fitted) is set to
“MIN” (–). If present, gently turn the inhalation control knob completely
“in” (clockwise), only until it stops. Do not apply excessive pressure.
These settings will help to minimise any loss of your air supply during
entry or while making a long surface swim. Adjustments can be made
below the surface.
During the Dive
When you are ready to submerge, place the second stage in your mouth
and set the IVS/RVS switch (if fitted) to your desired position. If present,
turn the inhalation control knob out (anti-clockwise) until the regulator
breathes comfortably without leaking or being undesirably sensitive.
As you descend, you may want to turn the inhalation control knob further
out to make breathing easier. This will be particularly true on deep dives
where the air density increases.
