OPENING THE VALVE
PART A COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
Practice opening and closing the top (part A) of the SAV to ensure proper operation of
the product. Part A should be closed and opened by operating only on the part itself
and not the valve body (B). Opening the valve is achieved turning part A counter-
clockwise, closing = clockwise. Part A should not be overtightened nor cranked open
to avoid getting stuck.

BREATHING AMBIENT AIR
WITH YOUR SCUBA SETUP CONNECTED AND OPEN (FULL) CYLINDER VALVE
donn the mask as instructed in Neptune III Series Products manual, with part
A SAV screw open. Once the mask is donned properly test breathing from the
SAV. You will notice you are breathing ambient air and not gas from cylinder.
Close the SAV screw (part A). Proper sealing of the mask on the face and
proper closing of the SAV will result in you now breathing gas from cylinder.
NOTE! Before each dive make sure part B (SAV Body) is tightened properly
on the OCTOPUS/SAV mask port, if not fully tightened working on part A
(Top) can cause the body (B) to open resulting in water leaking that could
cause serious injury and may even lead to fatal accident.
