INTRODUCTION
The instructions set forth in this document are intended to guide the experienced scuba equipment repair
technician through the standard service procedure for the Dual Octo second stage regulator.
It is assumed that the technician possesses basic scuba equipment repair training and the skill necessary to
perform the service. If you have not received regulator service training as an Authorized Sherwood Scuba
Dealer do not attempt to perform the service described in this document. If you are uncertain as to whether
you are qualified to perform this service contact your regional Sherwood Scuba Distributor for advice.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Special Notations
When to service
Generally the Dual Octo should be inspected for service at least annually. If the regulator has been
subjected to less than 100 hours of use it may just require a routine inspection not necessarily requiring the
replacement of parts.
If the regulator has been subjected to more than 100 hours of use or it has not received the benefit of
careful post-dive cleaning and storage in a clean environment, the regulator should receive standard
service. Standard service includes cleaning, inspection for damaged parts, replacement of seals and the
valve seat, reassembly and adjustments.
Dual Octo regulators that are subjected to extreme conditions such as daily use or infrequent cleaning may
need service more frequently depending on inspection results.
Sherwood Scuba offers a standard service kit (P/N 6000-9) that contains the parts that should be replaced
at the standard service interval.
Use only authorized parts and lubricants. Substitution of parts other than those available from
Sherwood Scuba may cause the regulator not to perform as intended by the manufacturer and will void
the warranty.
