CAUTION
If you hear any unusual leaks (i.e., leaks other than a tiny amount of air coming
from the dry air bleed valve), turn the tank valve off. Do not use the regulator until
the source of the leak has been found and corrected by an authorized Sherwood
Scuba service technician.
4. DO NOT at any time lift the tank/BC assembly by the regulator or hoses.
CAUTION
Lifting the tank by the regulator or hoses may loosen a previously tight
connection, which could cause unexpected air loss and put the diver at risk
during a subsequent dive.
5. Surface test the regulator by breathing lightly through the mouthpiece. Purging the
regulator above the water’s surface is NOT an appropriate method for testing the
function of the regulator.
3.2 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, keep salt water out of the
regulator inlet when changing the tanks. Neglect of these simple procedures is a
major cause of corrosion and wear in scuba regulators. Sherwood’s exclusive Dry
Air Bleed System keeps all other water-borne contamination out of the first stage
body.
NOTE: A tiny stream of 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
(13-25 cc/min.). Check the system periodically, particularly after servicing, to ensure
that there is some air escaping from the black one-way bleed valve. If no air is escaping
from the valve when air pressure is applied to the first stage, you should have the
regulator inspected by your authorized Sherwood Scuba dealer.
2. With the dust cap securely in place, rinse the first and second stage in clean fresh
water. DO NOT purge the regulator 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 air dry before storing.
3. Store the regulator in a clean bag or storage box, away from sunlight, excessive
heat and humidity.
