Aqua Lung Regulator - Manual (Page 12)

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Before attempting to remove the second stage from the hose, confirm the
regulator is not pressurized and the first stage is removed from the cylinder.
Do not leave the first stage connected to a cylinder valve if the second stage is
removed from its hose.
It’s recommended to use the hose clip (pn 216047). The clip will allow the end
of the hose to be attached onto
the hose itself or onto the D-ring
of the BC.
Attaching the hose onto itself:

2.5.2 Disassembly
To disconnect the hose, pull the lock away from the nut
while at the same time loosening the nut. The double
action of the quick-connect fitting will prevent the hose
from accidentally disconnecting.
REMINDER: This operation must only be performed with
the regulator depressurized and in a clean environment.
If you attempt to loosen the hose while the regulator is
still under pressure, a large air leak will happen approxi-
mately 2 turns before the nut is completely unthreaded.
If this occurs, stop loosening the nut and close the cylin-
der valve. Wait until the leak stops before continuing.
Disconnect the first stage from the cylinder valve.
Final removal of the hose.
To avoid contamination, don’t leave the hose disconnec-
ted from the second stage.
