Follow these instrucons to nish your dive safely, perform necessary maintenance, and perform the proper
disassembly of Nomad:
10.1 Exing the Water
10.2 Systems Check
1. Exit the water. While exing the water, do not let the Air Hose as to not let it drag on the ground and
protect it from entanglement, abrasion or puncture. Always be prepared to fall back into the water, which could
result in an out-of-air situaon.
2. Press the Purge Buon to conrm no water entered the Smart Reg while exing the water. If water is
in the air passage, refer to Secon 13.4 on Page 45 for instrucons on clearing Nomad of water.
3. If the air coming from the Smart Reg is free of water, turn the knob to the OFF posion to prevent
unintended running of the pump prior to powering down Nomad.
4. Reect upon the dive and correct any problem with your equipment prior to further use.
10 Shutdown Instrucons
Unexpectedly falling into the water while wearing a weight belt may result in drowning hazards. Remove the
weight-belt before or as soon as praccable aer exing water. Be ready to quick release the weight belt at all
mes during the dive and when near the water.
Allowing water- especially sea water- to remain inside the Nomad pump, Air Hose and Smart Reg for extended
periods may cause corrosion to internal components and growth of biological hazards such as mold and algae.
This may result in contaminang the breathing air. Always avoid contaminants entering the air intake.
Disconnue use and take correcve acons as soon as possible if contaminaon occurs.
