Vlii "Air Refresher" FI Lter Replacement - Tusa RS-340 Manual Del Propietário

water is an especially bad environment for regulators as the chlorine chemically
deteriorates the neoprene rubber components.
3. Regularly inspect the sintered filter in the inlet port of the first-stage. If it is
discolored or corroded, replacement by trained personnel is required. Also, at this
point, the entire regulator may need a general overhaul with replacement of all soft
seals and non-reusable components. Rust or aluminium oxide (grey powder)
deposits on the sintered filter are usually an indication that salt water has entered
the air cylinder and caused internal corrosion. At this time you air cylinder(s) should
be internally inspected by a qualified and competent service control and then
cleaned, or hydrostatically tested as required.
4. Do not disassemble your regulator. There are no adjustments which can or need
to be carried out by the user. Take the regulator to a qualified TUSA dealer or
service facility for service. Ensure that only original parts are used to service your
regulator.
"AIR REFRESHER" FILTER REPLACEMENT
1. The timing for replacing the filter is the same as for the equipment overhaul. TUSA
strongly recommends that you have your filter replaced every 100 dives, or a year
after purchase or the last overhaul (or filter replacement) regardless of the condi-
tions of use. The TUSA repair facility will replace the filter during the overhaul, so be
sure to have your equipment overhauled at the specified interval. If you have
already had your equipment overhauled and only wish to replace the filter, you must
also have this work carried out at a specialist outlet or TUSA facility.
2. Never try to overhaul the equipment or replace the "Air Refresher" filter yourself, as
it could cause a serious accident.
FINAL NOTE
Service your Regulator often- your personal safety and the mechanical integrity
of your regulator depend on it.
