Operation of your AIR XS II Regulator is similar to most other Second Stages. It provides air on demand
with low inhalation resistance and it has a convenient Purge Button located on the top of the unit's housing
and a comfortable Mouthpiece.
As with most other Second Stages, purging the AIR XS II Regulator of water can be accomplished in two
ways. By pressing the Purge Button to initiate the flow of air and expulsion of water, or by exhaling a
small puff of air into the Mouthpiece to expel the water.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your AIR XS II is a reliable piece of equipment that will continue to work like new for many years to come,
if cared for properly.
Follow the procedures below, and have the entire AIR XS II inspected and serviced annually by your local
Authorized Oceanic Dealer.
DISCONNECTING THE INFLATOR HOSE
• Close the Cylinder Valve and purge (vent) the Regulator Assembly 'completely' of all pressure by
depressing a second stage Purge Button.
• Grasp the Quick Disconnect Coupling on the AIR XS II Inflator Hose (second stage end) between the
palm of your hand and fingers, pull back the Coupling Release with your thumb and forefinger, and
pull it off the quick release fitting of the AIR XS II.
• Place the Protective Cap on the fitting (see illustration on page 2) to prevent contaminants from enter-
ing the AIR XS II's Valve Housing.
POST DIVE CARE
Any exposure to aquatic elements can produce contamination that could effect the proper function of your
dive equipment. Post dive care is the most important thing you can do to keep your AIR XS II in top condi-
tion.
