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.
