Note:
Unless the Octo-Z has failed, or problems were discovered during the bi-annual Visual
Inspection, the following Full Service Procedure is to be conducted only on the 2nd year and then
every other year after that.
The procedures covered in this manual section apply to the Octo-Z regulator/inflator. See the picture
on the front page of this manual to identify this model type. The serial number for this model always
starts with “Z”. The number can be seen on the front curved section of the body, below the oval

6.1.1 Disconnect the Octo-Z body assembly from the Corrugated Hose Coupling Assemble (9) and
the Fill Hose (1) and QD Fitting (2)
6.1.2 Remove the O-ring (31) from the corrugated Hose coupling (9) and replace it with one from
the Service Kit.
6.1.3 Remove the mouthpiece (11) by cutting the two mouthpiece ties (24) with side cutting pliers.

to the area on top just behind where the old ties tightened. This is a prime area for small holes to
develop. If the mouthpiece is in good condition, it can be reused.
