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 authorized 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. 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 authorized dealer.
