Storage
 the demand regulator should be stored in dry, airy place, away from all
sources of heat and not in direct exposure to sunlight and chemical agents,
 the demand regulator should be protected against gasoline, oils, alcohol and
other chemicals vapours,
 the demand regulator should not be kept screwed down to the cylinder,
 the demand regulator's components should lie freely, in particular, the medium
pressure hose should be loosely laid without any bends and twists,
 both during storage and use, the regulator should be protected against
mechanical damages, and, in particular, against impacts,
 avoid crushes that deform the mouthpiece and other flexible components of
the demand regulator,
 the demand regulator's parts that are subject to ageing should be replaced
every year, irrespective of the frequency of use,
 when storing a diving regulator equipped with a breathing resistance
adjustment knob, the knob should be set in an open position.
Maintenance
 after diving, the demand regulator should be washed out in clean fresh water,
 silicone elements may be washed in water using mild detergent (e.g. soap),
 rinsing the silicone elements with alcohol and maintenance of the above
elements with silicone agents (silicone oils and greases) is not permitted,
 for maintenance of rubber elements use silicone grease,
 the o-ring seal should be greased/polished with silicone grease,
 the diaphragm and the outlet valve should not be greased with silicone
grease, as it may damage the parts,
 only original spare parts must be used during repairs and checks,
 demand regulators must have technical inspections carried out every year by
an Authorized Scubatech / Tecline Service Technician,
 inspection and maintenance of the demand regulator's assemblies together
with the check of basic operating parameters are required in time intervals not
longer than 12 months,
IMPORTANT
Periodic inspections, repairs and any works that affect the work of a
demand regulator must be carried out by a service technician authorized by
the manufacturer. Components and elements of a demand regulator must
not be disassembled or assembled by unauthorized persons.
