Airsource Owner's Manual

Oral Deflation

The oral inflation/deflation valve is secondary means for venting air from the BC.

Most users vent air through the dump valves. However, you may find it easier

to expel the last portion of air remaining in a nearly empty BC by utilizing the

oral inflation valve.

1. Move into an upright position so that you can hold the Airsource above the

bc.

2. With the Airsource in the left hand, raise the assembly to a position nearest

the surface of the water.

3. Depress the oral inflation/deflation button allowing air to exhaust in small

increments until the desired buoyancy is achieved.

4. release the button allowing the valve to close.

NOTe: Do not hold the oral inflation/deflation button open after all

the air has been exhausted. Doing so may allow water to enter the

BC. Also, whenever inflating or deflating your BC, be sure to make

small but frequent adjustments. This will minimize the amount of

water entering the BC.

The Airsource is a high performance, pneumatically balanced second stage

regulator, and it operates the same as a standard second stage regulator. To

breathe, put the mouthpiece in your mouth. Purge the water by either press-

ing the purge button, or exhaling slowly and continuously. You should test the

breathing performance of the Airsource before each dive.

WARNING: The procedure to deal with an emergency Out-of-

Air situation should be reviewed before every dive. Make sure

your dive buddy is familiar with the operation of the Airsource

and what role it plays in an out-of-air situation.

In the event of an emergency air sharing situation, the assisting diver should of-

fer their primary second stage to the diver requesting to share air. The Airsource

then becomes the primary regulator for the assisting diver.

While using the Airsource as your second stage regulator, all inflation and

deflation procedures as outlined in this manual are still applicable.
