INTRODUCTION
Congratulations—and thank you—for choosing Apeks. All Apeks
regulators have been designed and manufactured with pride in
the U.K. as part of the Aqualung group of companies, according to
standards which meet or surpass all requirements for the BS EN ISO
9001:2000 quality control system.
Your Apeks regulator is covered by Apeks’ Limited Lifetime Warranty
against defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty is only
extended to the original purchaser, and is not transferable. For more
information, be sure to read the warranty section of this manual, and
remember to save your sales receipts. Copies of these receipts must
be presented whenever obtaining warranty service.
Perhaps more than any other piece of diving equipment you will own,
your regulator’s function and performance relies greatly on the care
and maintenance it will receive, in addition to regularly scheduled
dealer service. Before you dive with your new Apeks regulator, it
is therefore important to read this manual in its entirety to become
familiar with its features, as well as the correct procedures for setup,
pre-dive inspection, and post-dive maintenance.
Please read on to learn how you can obtain the maximum enjoyment
from your regulator, and maintain its like-new performance for many
years to come.
WARNING: Improper use or misuse of SCUBA equipment may result
in serious injury or death. Read and understand this owner’s manual
completely before diving with your Apeks regulator.
