Oceanic AIR XS II manual 10

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your AIR XS II is a reliable piece of equipment that will continue to work like new for many years to come, if cared for properly.

Follow the procedures below, and have the entire AIR XS II inspected and serviced annually by your local Authorized Oceanic Dealer.

DISCONNECTING THE INFLATOR HOSE

•Close the Cylinder Valve and purge (vent) the Regulator Assembly 'completely' of all pressure by depressing a second stage Purge Button.

•Grasp the Quick Disconnect Coupling on the AIR XS II Inflator Hose (second stage end) between the palm of your hand and fingers, pull back the Coupling Release with your thumb and forefinger, and pull it off the quick release fitting of the AIR XS II.

•Place the Protective Cap on the fitting (see illustration on page ??) to prevent contaminants from entering the AIR XS II's Valve Housing.

POST DIVE CARE

Any exposure to aquatic elements can produce contamination that could effect the proper function of your dive equipment. Post dive care is the most important thing you can do to keep your AIR XS II in top condition.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to remove (or install) the AIR XS II from (on) a BC. Improper installation may cause misoperation or BC failure underwater, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. It will also void the warranty.
