5. AFTER THE DIVE
5.1 Removal of the 1st Stage from the Cylinder Valve
NOTE: It is very important to use care when removing the regulator
rst stage from the cylinder valve to ensure that moisture does not
enter either the inlet opening of the regulator rst stage or the opening
of the DIN valve.
NOTE: If fresh water is available, rinse your regulator completely
before depressurizing it. This will help to prevent contaminants from
entering the sealing surfaces inside the regulator.
5.1.1 General Procedures
Shut off the cylinder air supply by turning the cylinder valve handwheel 1.
clockwise until it stops. DO NOT over tighten.
While observing the submersible pressure gauge (if equipped), depress 2.
the purge button of the second stage. When the gauge reads zero and
airow can no longer be heard from the second stage, release the
purge button.
5.1.2 Yoke Connector
Turn the yoke screw counter-clockwise to loosen and remove the rst 1.
stage from the cylinder valve.
Dry the dust cap with a towel or other lint free cloth. While you may 2.
use air from your cylinder valve to blow the water off the dust cap, you
run the risk of blowing water into the lter.
Place the dust cap over the rst stage inlet tting and seal it securely in 3.
place by tightening down the yoke screw.
With the cylinder valve facing away from you, open the valve slightly 4.
to release a short burst of air, and then immediately close the valve.
This will clear any moisture that may have entered the valve opening.
Immediately place the protector cap over the opening of the valve to
prevent the entrance moisture or debris.
5.1.3 DIN Connector
Turn the DIN handwheel counter-clockwise to loosen and remove1.
the rst stage from the cylinder valve.
Blow off any water inside the protective cap or wipe it out with a clean towel, 2.
and wipe the threads of the regulator rst stage connector clean and dry.
Install the cap over the threads of the regulator rst stage connector.
With the cylinder valve facing away from you, open the valve slightly 3.
to release a short burst of air, and then immediately close the valve.
This will clear any moisture that may have entered the valve opening.
Immediately seal the protector cap over the opening of the DIN valve
to prevent the entrance of moisture or debris.
