(3)Immerse the regulator until the water is 1/4" to 1/8" from the lip of the mouthpiece.
(4)Hold the regulator in this position for one minute and then slowly raise it out of the water.
(5)Tip the regulator mouthpiece downward and watch the inside of the mouthpiece tube. If any water escapes from the mouthpiece tube, check for source of leakage.
EXTERNAL AIR LEAKS:
(1)Attach the regulator first stage to a tank short enough to totally submerge the first and second stage in your filling station cooling water.
(2)With the tank valve still turned off, flood the second stage completely with water, and then position it mouthpiece up.
(3)Turn the tank air valve on slowly and then watch for any leaks in the first or second stage (except for the normal flow of air from the
(4)Repair any leaks.
