The biggest cause of premature failures in BC Inflators
and Regulator/Inflator combination units (like the Octo-Z),
is dirt and salt water entering the delicate valve mecha
-
nism through a DISCONNECTED QD Fitting . The Zeagle
Octo-Z offers a unique solution to this common problem.
Although the Octo-Z has the typical QD Fitting for the infla
-
tor hose, the user should try to keep this fitting connected
at all times. Your Octo-Z has a large Threaded Coupling
that attaches the large Corrugated Hose to the Octo-Z Body.
Prior to setting up your gear for a dive, your Octo-Z will be
in your regulator bag with your primary regulator, not drag

ging in the dirt at the end of your Corrugated BC hose like
other Reg/Inflator Combination units. (See Fig. 2 on next
page)
Using your Octo-Z
Use of gas mixtures containing oxygen in
excess of 40% with this regulator, can lead to
fires and explosions, causing severe personal
injury and death
