GENERAL PROCEDURES

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES

Regulators are subjected to a variety of environmental el-

ements that over time can affect the performance of the

product. As an Authorized Sea Quest/Apeks Dealer you

are advised to inform your staff and customer that Sea

Quest/Apeks regulator require complete servicing at least

once a year. Under certain circumstances a complete ser-

vicing is required every 3-6 months. Some of these cir-

cumstances are:

● Frequent or improper use

● Inadequate routine freshwater rinsing

● Regulator use in dirty or polluted waters

● Rental use

● Regular use in chlorinated (pool) water

Recommended maintenance schedules are based on aver-

age use under normal conditions and assume that recom-

mended preventative maintenance and storage procedures

have been followed as outlined in the Sea Quest/Apeks

owner’s manuals.

Advise the customer that any adjustments or servicing on

Sea Quest/Apeks regulators must be performed by Sea

Quest, or by an Authorized Sea Quest/Apeks Dealer that

has attended a Sea Quest authorized service seminar.

INITIAL INSPECTION AND PRE-TEST

Prior to beginning the servicing of the regulator, a pre-

liminary inspection and pre-test of the entire breathing sys-

tem is recommended. This will help the repair technician

identify any problems that may affect the first stage.

Preliminary inspection should include:

● First stage inlet filter - If the first stage inlet filter is

discolored, the entire regulator should be completely ser-

viced. Deposits of rust (red powder) or aluminum oxide

(gray powder) on the filter may indicate that water has

entered the SCUBA cylinder and caused internal cylinder

corrosion. The customer should be notified that their

SCUBA cylinder(s) may be in need of visual inspection,

cleaning and testing. Advise your customers to regularly

inspect the inlet filter for any discoloration or corrosion.

● High pressure (HP) and low pressure (LP) hoses -

Inspect the hoses carefully for any evidence of cracking,

tearing, or excessive abrasion of the outer rubber cover-

ing. Remove all of the hose protectors and examine the

area around the metal fittings for any damage to the hose.

Inspect the fittings for signs of excessive corrosion.

Indicates a procedure or situation that may result in

serious injury or death for either the technician or

the user if instructions are not followed correctly.

Indicates any situation or technique that may result

in potential damage to the product, or render the

product unsafe if instructions are not followed cor-

rectly.

Is used to emphasize important points and

tips.
