Regulator Owner’s Manual
............................................................................................
CAUTION! Be careful when removing the first stage from the cylinder
valve to ensure that moisture does not enter either the inlet opening of
the first stage or the opening of the DIN valve.
5. With the cylinder valve facing away from you, open the valve slightly
to release a short burst of air, and then immediately close the valve.
This will clear any moisture that may have entered the valve opening.
Immediately seal the protector cap securely in place over the opening
of the DIN valve to prevent the entrance of moisture or debris.
Care & Maintenance
It is important to provide the proper preventative maintenance in order to
ensure the best possible performance and maximum life of your Apeks
Regulator. The following maintenance procedures should be performed
routinely after each use to ensure that the regulator is cleaned, inspected,
and prepared for the next use or for storage.
1. Whenever the regulator is removed from the cylinder valve, it is
important to wipe or blow the dust cap completely dry, and then fasten
it securely over the first stage inlet fitting. This is critical to prevent the
entrance of moisture into the first stage.
2. As soon as possible after diving, the regulator should be rinsed
thoroughly with fresh water while it is attached to a cylinder and
pressurised with air.
3. Rinsing alone, however, will not sufficiently clean the regulator. To
clean the regulator as thoroughly as possible, it is necessary to soak it
in warm (not over 50ºC / 120°F) fresh tap water for at least one hour.
a. The preferred method is to attach the regulator to a charged SCUBA
cylinder, open the cylinder valve to pressurise the regulator, and
thoroughly soak both the first and second stages. Pressurising the
regulator will effectively prevent the entrance of moisture and/or
contaminants into the regulator while it soaks.
