AFTER THE DIVE
NOTE: Rinse your regulator completely in fresh water before
depressurising it, and thoroughly dry the first stage and cylinder
valve. This will help to prevent any contaminants from entering the
regulator when it is removed from the cylinder.
Removing the Regulator from the Cylinder Valve
(Yoke Connector)
1. Shut off the cylinder air supply by turning the cylinder valve hand-
wheel clockwise until it stops.
2. While observing the submersible pressure gauge, depress the
purge button of the second stage. When the gauge reads zero and
airflow cannot be heard from the second stage, release the purge
button.
3. Turn the yoke screw anti-clockwise to loosen and remove the first
stage from the cylinder valve.
4. Dry the dust cap with a clean towel, or with low pressure air.
5. Place the dust cap over the first stage inlet fitting and seal it
securely in place by tightening down the yoke screw.
Removing the Regulator from the Cylinder Valve
(DIN Connector)
