SAfETY INfORMATION
Inspection
Inspect the Airsource for signs of damage. Do not use an Airsource that shows
visual signs of damage to the second stage or its associated hose. If the second
stage regulator presents an uncomfortable resistance to breathing, or floods af-
ter clearing underwater, do not continue to dive until the problem is resolved.
Lubrication
Do not use the Air source if it has been lubricated with a hydrocarbon based
lubricant such as motor oil, light machine oil, or grease. Lubrication should
be performed only by qualified technicians and should only involve the use of
lubricants approved by Aqua Lung.
INTRODUCTION
congratulations on selecting the Airsource. This unit is the combined product
of many years of research, engineering and field experience. The very latest in
materials and technologies have been used in the design and manufacturing of
the Airsource. All materials and components are laboratory and field tested for
reliability and long life.
What is the Airsource?
The Airsource combines the function of your inflation device with an easy
breathing second stage regulator. The Airsource thus replaces the need for a
backup second stage regulator (octopus). Combining the inflator and octopus
into one integrated unit streamlines the diver and reduces bulk.
Temperature
TeMPerATure LIMITATIONs: This Airsource is designed to be used in tem-
peratures no lower than -22°F (-30°c) and no higher than 158°F (70°c).
The Airsource (tested with the Aqua Lung Legend LX regulator and Pro LT
buoyancy compensator) has successfully passed all cold water tests required
by EN1809 / EN 250:2000 standards and has received certification for this type.
The maximum operating depth limit required by the standard for certifying the
equipment is 164 feet (50 meters).
The Airsource is intended as a back up second stage for recreational scuba
diving only. Therefore, in order to protect you and your equipment, please
abide by the following guidelines and limitations.
