Regulators
SECTION I
WARNING READ CAREFULLY
Unless otherwise specifi ed TUSA regulators should be used only with open circuit
compressed air breathing equipment. Its use with oxygen-enriched air is not autho-
rized and is dangerous. The compressed air must be in compliance with the stan-
dard EN 12021.
Before any attempt is made to use this regulator underwater, you MUST have re-
ceived training and CERTIFICATION in the technique of sport diving from a recog-
nized certifi cation agency. Use of this equipment by a person who is not certifi ed by
a recognized agency shall render all warranties, express or implied, null and void.
Use of regulators by uncertifi ed or untrained persons is dangerous and can result in
severe injury or death. This regulator is not intended for commercial use with surface
supplied air.
Before each use, the regulator must be given a thorough visual inspection and func-
tional test. NEVER dive with a regulator which shows signs of damage or provides
substandard performance.
Always use regulator as designated combination of fi rst stage and second stage. As
inappropriate combination of fi rst and second stages may result deterioration of per-
formance, do not connect other second stage to these (R-300, 500, 600) fi rst stages
or vice versa.
Repair, servicing, or addition of accessories (e.g. pressure gauge) to this regulator is
to be performed ONLY by a qualifi ed TUSA Service Facility. The HP and LP outlets
of the fi rst stage have intentionally been fi tted with different threads to prevent the
possibility of incorrect fi tting of accessories.
Always apply pressure to the regulator gradually by opening the cylinder valve
SLOWLY,
NEVER lubricate any part of the regulator (especially the rubber O-ring seal be-
tween
the cylinder valve and regulator) with a hydrocarbon-based lubricant.
