4. Never lift the tank/BCD assembly by the regulator or hoses.

5. Surface-test the regulator by breathing lightly through the mouthpiece. Depressing the purge

button above the water's surface is

not a thorough method for fully testing the function of the

regulator.

7.4.2 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, 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 water-borne contamination out of the first stage body.

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 air-dry before storing.

3. Store the regulator in a clean bag or storage box, away from sunlight, excessive heat and humidity.

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 (13-25 cc/min.). The system should be

checked 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, have

the regulator inspected.
