Scheduled Maintenance - Tusa RS-350 Manual Del Propietário

When using these regulators in cold water at temperatures of 10°C or below, be sure to
observe the following notices.
General Caution Items
* Before you use the regulator, be sure to receive specialized instruction on cold water
diving from a diving instruction authority so that you learn the necessary skills and
knowledge.
* Be sure to receive orientation for the diving environment.
* Be sure to obey the instructions of your instructors and guides.
Equipment Handling Caution Items
The conditions for freezing up of the regulator change in accordance with the breathing
conditions of its user (breathing volume, breathing speed, number of breaths) and the
environment conditions before and during use.
* Do not take shallow, fast breaths. It makes freezing occur more easily.
* To avoid free flow condition due to freezing NEVER push the purge button while the
regulator is outside of the water.
* Store the regulator at room temperature. When diving, store your regulator in its bag
to keep it warm until just before use.
* When waiting between dives, always keep your regulator warm. Do not leave it out in
a cold environment.
* Your regulator may freeze depending on the conditions. If your regulator freezes, it may
free flow. If it does, use breathing technique for free flow conditions.
* When diving in water temperatures of 10°C or below, always swim at a safe depth from
which you can perform an emergency swimming ascent.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

1. Do not assume that a regulator is in good working order because of storage or
infrequent use. Remember that either prolonged or improper storage can still result
in internal corrosion and/or deterioration of O-ring seals.
2. Have your regulator cleaned and adjusted frequently. The frequency will depend
upon the amount of use given the regulator and the conditions of use. However,
TUSA strongly recommends inspection, overhaul and scheduled parts replacement
at least once a year in order to ensure the optimum functioning of the regulator.
Certain parts require replacement at specific intervals. This work must be carried
out by a competent service facility. Use as rental equipment and/or in salt,
chlorinated (swimming pool), or polluted fresh water might require cleaning and
overhaul of the regulator every three to six months. Remember that chlorinated
