INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting the Airsource. This unit is the combined product
of many years of research, engineering and eld experience. The very latest in
materials and technologies have been used in the design and manufacturing of
the Airsource. All materials and components are laboratory and eld tested for
reliability and long life.
What is the Airsource?
The Airsource combines the function of your ination device with an easy
breathing second stage regulator. The Airsource (Figure 1) thus replaces the
need for a backup second stage regulator (octopus). Combining the inator and
octopus into one integrated unit streamlines the diver and reduces bulk.
The Airsource is intended as a back up second stage for recreational scuba
diving only. Therefore, in order to protect you and your equipment, please
abide by the following guidelines and limitations.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Damage
Do not use an Airsource that shows visual signs of damage to the second stage
or its associated hose. If the second stage regulator presents an uncomfortable
resistance to breathing, or oods after clearing underwater, do not continue to
dive until the problem is resolved.

Lubrication
Do not use the Air Source if it has been lubricated with a hydrocarbon based
lubricant such as motor oil, light machine oil, or grease. Lubrication should be
performed only by qualied technicians and should only involve the use of lubri-
cants approved by Aqua Lung.
