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 attach 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.
