COMPATIBILITY AND INSTALLATION
The AIR XS II low pressure inflator hose is compatible with all Oceanic first stage regulators. It may not be
compatible with other manufacturers' first stages (thread size = 3/8-24 UNF).
Have your AIR XS II installed on your BC, and the low pressure inflator hose attached to your regulator first
stage, by an Authorized Oceanic Dealer.
Connect the quick disconnect (QD) end of the inflator hose to the AIR XS II using the QD coupling. To at-
tach it, grasp the coupling on the end of the inflator hose between the palm of your hand and fingers, and
pull back the coupling release with your thumb and forefinger.
While holding back the coupling release, press it onto the quick release fitting on the AIR XS II, and
let go of the coupling release while continuing to hold the hose onto the quick release fitting.
Ensure they are firmly attached prior to pressurizing the regulator/inflator system.
NOTE: Refer to the illustration on page 2 for identification of components.
