In this condition, referred to as free-flow, can usually be stopped by turning the Second Stage so the

mouthpiece is pointing down and the purge button is pointing up.

⚠NOTE

Recommended is to carry an Octopus with the mouthpiece facing down when not in use, or to use a

mouthpiece plug or cover to prevent free-flow in the event that it is bumped.

⚠NOTE

During normal use underwater, a small amount of water collects inside the body of a standard regulator

in a natural reservoir near the bottom.

This is normal for most second stages, and the water is held away from your mouth naturally and will go

unnoticed unless you become inverted or do subaquatic somersaults at which time you may experience

temporary 'wet breathing'.

Water can be purged from the small internal air space of most second stages by exhaling a small puff of

breathing air into the mouthpiece, or by blocking the mouthpiece with your tongue and pressing the

front mounted purge button to initiate a flow of breathing air.

VENTURI SWITCH (DEFLATOR EFFECT ADJUSTING KNOB)

The second stages are fitted with a Venturi Switch. This Switch modifies the inhaled air flow by means of

an internal vane. This allows the breathing performance of your regulator to be adjusted to match your

needs.

MAX or DIVE:

1. When the adjusting knob is set on "MAX" or "DIVE", the ease of breathing will be at its

maximum.

2. We recommend that you set the knob in this position when you are breathing through the regulator.

MIN or PRE-DIVE:

1. When the adjusting knob is set on "MIN" or "PRE-DIVE", the breathing resistance will be

increased.

2. We highly recommend that you set the knob in this position when you DO NOT have the regulator in

your mouth.

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTING KNOB

This adjusting knob allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the regulator. When you are in a head-down

position you may want to reduce sensitivity by screwing the knob in. On the other hand, when you are in

a head-up position you may want to increase the sensitivity by unscrewing the knob, to give increased

breathing comfort.

CLEAN OR CHANGE THE COVER RING OR THE PURGE COVER

If you want to clean or change the different color (or style) of the ring or purge cover, please use the

following process.

⚠WARNING The regulator should NOT be connected to the SCUBA Cylinder while changing.

1. Unscrew the cover ring from the housing.(No tools required)

2. Remove the purge cover and washer.

3. Select your purge cover or cover ring.

4. Assemble them and install the diaphragm washer into the cover assembly on top of the diaphragm.

5. Screw the cover ring assembly into the housing and hand tighten the ring.
