General Guidelines

▼Refer to the schematic parts list, that highlights automatic replacement parts (ARP) which should be discarded and replaced with new during reassembly. ARP parts are provided in the Annual Service Kit.

▼Before performing any reassembly, it is important to individually inspect all parts, both new and those that are being reused, to ensure that each part and component is perfectly clean and free of any dust, decay, or blemishes.

▼Prior to dressing, inspect all O-rings with magnification to ensure they are supple, clean, and completely free of any scoring or decay that would impair proper sealing.

▼Genesis recommends Christo-Lube®MCG-11 (PN MS150) to be used exclusively for the lubrication and dressing of O-rings and other internal parts. Christo-Lube®provides superior lubrication to that of silicone grease, especially in high pressure (DIN) systems greater than 3,000 psi, and extreme temperature conditions. It is also non-reactive to oxygen, and is approved for use with EAN/Nitrox.

CAUTION: Silicone grease is not compatible with oxygen enriched air, and must be strictly avoided when servicing a regulator that will be used with EAN/ Nitrox. The entire regu- lator will otherwise become contaminated, and rendered unsafe for use with any mixture of oxygen enriched air.

▼Dress all O-rings with a visible film of Christo-Lube, but avoid applying excessive amounts, as this may attract particulate matter that can cause accelerated wear or damage to the O-ring.

CAUTION: The use of aerosol spray or petroleum based lubricants must be strictly avoided. The propellant gas or petroleum base may attack or weaken plastic or rubber parts.

▼If the regulator has been serviced or upgraded for use with EAN/Nitrox, it is important to don powderless latex gloves before handling any parts, including O-rings, in order to avoid contaminating the parts with skin oil.
