Back-up Breathing
The SS1 breathes like any conventional second stage. Clear the SS1 of water by first
exhaling or using the purge button (front cover), then breathe normally through the
mouthpiece. The SS1 is designed primarily for back up emergency breathing in the
event of a second stage malfunction or air sharing. Be aware that if the SS1 is installed
on your primary first stage regulator, it will not function in the event of first stage failure
or out of air condition.
WARNING!
In the event of air sharing with another diver, it is important that the SS1
is used by the donor and not given to the person out of air. The person out
of air is given the donors’ primary regulator. The corrugated BCD hose is
too short to allow proper use of the SS1 by another diver, and the donor
would be left without control of the inflator for control of his BCD. It is
strongly recommended that these skills be mastered and performed under
supervision of an instructor before attempting in open water.
CAUTION
Do’s and Don’ts
Do set up your equipment carefully before each dive and check your entire
system for signs of damage, loose hose fittings, or air leaks. Make sure the
yoke knob or DIN connection on your first stage is hand tight before turn-
ing your air supply on. Check your inflator for proper inflation and defla-
tion. Purge the regulator and take a test breath before entering the water.
Don’t use your SS1 if you notice any problems or malfunctions. Return it to
the factory or authorized dealer to have it checked or repaired.
Don’t pick up your tank by the hoses. You may damage them or work loose
a connection that could lead to loss of air.
Post Dive Care
A simple fresh water rinse after every dive to clean the SS1 of salt, sand or dirt is all that
is required. Rinse around the buttons through the mouthpiece. If the SS1 is soaked, it
should be pressurized, the inflation valve operated, and the regulator purged to blow out
any accumulated water before storage.
