Owner's Guide
If you wish to use your regulator on a DIN tank, have your Authorized Oceanic
Dealer convert the first stage with an Oceanic DIN Conversion Kit following the
procedures given for the specific regulator first stage in the current Oceanic
Product Service Guide.
To remove the Regulator from the tank:
 Close the tank valve and purge all breathing gas from the regulator system
by depressing the purge button of the second stage regulator. Ensure that
all pressure has been purged.
 Turn the easy-grip yoke knob counter clockwise to loosen and lift the first
stage off the tank valve.
 Prevent water from entering the first stage. DO NOT blow breathing
gas near a first stage that does not have the dust protector in
place.
 Dry the dust protector, position it within the yoke, and secure it by tighten-
ing the yoke knob.
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 clock-
wise 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 regula-
tor/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 ser-
vice.
If you wish to use your regulator on a standard tank, have your Authorized Oce-
anic Dealer convert the first stage with an Oceanic USA Yoke Conversion Kit fol-
lowing the procedures given for the specific regulator first stage in the current
Oceanic Product Service Guide; or install an Oceanic DIN to USA Converter
Yoke.
