Oceanic Regulator
Connecting Your Console with a DataLink:
Ensure that the regulator system is purged of all breathing gas.
Push the hose portion of the disconnect firmly into the first stage portion.
While holding the two portions together with one hand, turn the locking
ring of the first stage portion clockwise (as viewed from the first stage) until
it stops (hand tight). DO NOT overtighten or use tools.
Disconnecting Your Console with a DataLink:
Ensure that the regulator system is purged of all breathing gas.
While holding the hose portion of the disconnect with one hand, turn the
locking ring of the first stage portion counter clockwise (as viewed from the
first stage).
Using care not to bend the DataLink parts, pull the two portions of the quick
disconnect straight apart to remove the HP hose and instrument console.
NOTE: Once the DataLink has been disconnected, the regulator
system can again be pressurized.
REGULATOR ATTACHMENT TO A TANK
WARNING: Maximum working pressure for an Oceanic Yoke style

4500 PSI / 300 BAR
YOKE STYLE CONNECTOR
Before attaching the Regulator to the tank:
Slowly open then close the tank valve for a second to allow a momentary
flow of breathing gas to blow any moisture or contaminants from the
breathing gas opening in the tank valve.
Examine the sealing o-ring located on the tank valve to ensure that it is not
cut, frayed, or deteriorated. Replace the o-ring if it is damaged.
To attach the Regulator to the tank:
Remove the dust protector from the yoke by turning the easy-grip knob in a
counter clockwise direction.
Place the yoke connector over the tank valve, positioned with the seating
surface against the valve o-ring.
Turn the easy-grip yoke knob clockwise until secure.
Slowly open the tank valve (with the pressure gauge facing away from
you).
Momentarily purge the second stage, then listen to ensure that no breathing
gas is leaking from the regulator/tank connection.
If any leakage is observed, repeat the attachment procedure and inspect
the sealing o-ring. If gas still leaks, DO NOT USE! Take the regulator and
tank to an Authorized Oceanic Dealer for inspection and service.
