6. Keep YOUR regulator in YOUR mouth. In an emergency, offer or take
the spare regulator. When taking the spare regulator, do not hit the
purge
button to clear the water (if possible). Clear the regulator with as long a
first exhalation as is safely possible.
NITROX USE
Zeagle regulators are manufactured using materials suitable for use
with oxygen enriched gases (i.e., Nitrox, etc.) providing the oxygen
content does not exceed 40%.
FIRST STAGES
The first stage reduces the high pressure air contained in the cylinder to
a constant intermediate pressure of approximately 135 p.s.i. (9.2 BAR).
Zeagle first stages are designed to do this with outstanding reliability.
Extreme cold water diving such as diving under ice requires specialized
training and procedures. Do not attempt these activities unless you are
fully qualified and properly equipped to do so safely.
WARNING
DANGER
Using nitrox (i.e., gas mixtures containing oxygen in excess of 21%)
requires special training and proceedures. Improper use of nitrox can
lead to personal injury, convulsions, drowning, and death.
Use of gas mixtures containing oxygen in excess of 40% with this regu-
lator, can lead to fires and explosions, causing severe personal injury
and death.
