DEALER INSPECTION AND SERVICE
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to perform any disassembly or service of your BC. Service
requiring disassembly must only be performed by a factory-trained Apeks technician. To
obtain service or repair, such as power inflator service or replacement of the bladder, see
an Authorized Apeks Dealer or Distributor.
1. It cannot be assumed that the BC is in good working order on the basis that it has received little use since
it was last serviced. Remember that prolonged or improper storage can still result in internal corrosion
and/or deterioration of o-ring seals and valve springs, as well as bladder seam degradation.
2. It is imperative that you obtain prescribed dealer service for your BC at least once a year from an
authorized dealer, including a general air leak inspection and complete overhaul of the power inflator
and OPR valve. Your BC may require this service more frequently, depending on the amount of use it
receives and the environmental conditions it is used in.
3. If the BC is used for rental or training purposes in salt, chlorinated, or silted fresh water, it will require
prescribed dealer service every three to six months. Use in chlorinated water will greatly accelerate
the deterioration of most components, and require more frequent service.
4. DO NOT attempt to perform any disassembly or overhaul service of your BC. Doing so may cause
the BC to dangerously malfunction, and will render the warranty null and void. All service must be
performed by an Authorized Apeks Dealer or Distributor.
NOTE: It is important to obtain prescribed dealer service for your BC at least once annually,
from an Authorized Apeks Dealer or Distributor. Your personal safety and the mechanical
integrity of your BC depends on it.
