DIN WHEEL STYLE CONNECTOR
Before attaching the Regulator to the tank:
 Slowly open then close the tank's valve for a second to allow a momentary flow of
breathing gas to blow any moisture or contaminants from the gas opening in the tank
valve.
 Examine the threads in the valve to ensure they are clean and free of burrs or defects
that could damage the threads of your regulator DIN fitting.
To attach the Regulator to the tank:
 Remove the protector cap from the threads of the regulator DIN connector wheel, and
examine the threads and sealing o-ring. Replace the o-ring if it is damaged.
 Using care not to cross the threads, thread the DIN connector wheel clockwise into the
cavity of the tank valve until it is secure.
 Slowly open the tank valve (with the pressure instrument facing away from you) and
listen to ensure that no breathing gas is leaking from the regulator/tank connection.
 If any leakage is observed, repeat the attachment procedure and inspect the sealing
o-ring. If breathing gas still leaks, DO NOT USE! Take the regulator and tank to an
Authorized Oceanic Dealer for inspection and service.
If you wish to use your regulator on a standard tank, have your Authorized Oceanic
Dealer convert the first stage with an Oceanic USA Yoke Conversion Kit following the pro-
cedures given for the specific regulator first stage in the current Oceanic Product Service
Guide; or install an Oceanic DIN to USA Converter Yoke.
