2.2 IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
1. To prevent personal injury and damage, install the low pressure hose only into the
low pressure outlet of the first stage regulator.
2. Do not attach the low pressure hose to the high pressure outlet for the
submersible tank pressure gauge.
3. The high pressure outlet is normally marked “HP” (on current Sherwood Scuba
regulators, the high pressure outlets are distinctly larger than the low pressure
outlets and are clearly marked “HP”). If the regulator outlet is not marked, install a
submersible pressure gauge in the outlet and test the pressure with a full tank of air.
The low pressure outlet should not show more than 200 psig (14 Bar).
4. The O-ring hose fittings will seal with hand-tight pressure. However, they should be
snugged up gently with a small wrench to a maximum of 40 in. lbs. (4.5 joules).
Excessive tightening will not help the seal and may damage the parts (see DEMA
Guidelines No. 101, Low Pressure Hose Installation Caution Statement: ANSI
American National Standard for Underwater Safety, paragraph 9.3.1).
3.0 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE & HANDLING TIPS
How you take care of your Octopus regulator before, after and between dives will
greatly affect the regulator’s functioning and durability. Following are a few tips that will
help you get the best performance and wear from your new regulator.
3.1 PRE-DIVE CHECKS
WARNING
It is safe diving practice to inspect your regulator before each use. Check for
signs of damage, loose parts, or possible malfunction. If you detect a problem,
have the regulator properly serviced by an authorized Sherwood Scuba dealer
before you use it again. Using a regulator that shows signs of damage or
substandard performance puts the diver at risk of serious personal injury or
death.
1. Before mounting your Sherwood Scuba Octopus regulator on your tank valve, check
the hoses and hose connections for looseness, cuts, abrasions or other signs of
damage. Slide the hose protectors back to inspect the areas of the hose normally
covered.
2. Just before turning on the tank air valve, check to make sure that the yoke nut or
DIN connection is tight and that the regulator body is aligned properly, with no kinks
in the hoses.
3. Turn the tank valve on slowly and listen for leaks.
