mounting the regulator on the tank valve. Slide the hose protectors back to inspect the areas of the hose normally covered. Be sure all hose connections are tight.
2.Before turning on the tank air valve, check to make sure that the yoke nut or DIN connection is tight and the regulator body is aligned properly, with no kinks in the hoses.
3.Turn the tank valve on slowly and listen for leaks. If any leaks are found, replace or repair parts as recommended.
4.Never lift the tank/BCD assembly by the regulator or hoses.

B.Post-Dive Care
1.After the dive, blow all water out of the dust cap with clean dry air and place the cap securely on the regulator inlet. On multiple tank dives, use great care to keep salt water out of the regulator inlet when tanks are changed. Neglecting these simple procedures is the greatest cause of corrosion and wear in scuba regulators. When used properly, Sherwood’s exclusive Dry Air Bleed System keeps all other
NOTE: A tiny stream of air bubbles escaping from a small black valve on the first stage indicates that the Dry Air Bleed System is working. The amount of air used is negligible (13 - 27 cc/min.). Check the system periodically (see Section 4.3B in this manual), particularly after servicing, to ensure that there is some air escaping from the black
2.With the dust cap securely in place, rinse the first and second stages in clean fresh water. DO NOT depress the purge button before or during rinsing since this may introduce water into the second stage and the low pressure hose. Shake or blow all excess water from the second stage and allow the entire regulator to
3.Store the regulator in a clean bag or storage box, away from sunlight, excessive heat and humidity.
