Maintenance Tips

• Rinse thoroughly with fresh water (don’t depress purge while rinsing) to flush salt, sand & debris.

• Shake or gently blow out excess water from the second stage before storage.

• Dry completely away from sunlight, heat or humidity.

• Inspect hoses, mouthpiece & fittings for cracks, corrosion or wear.

Handling & Use

• Avoid excessive purge-button use underwater to reduce water ingress.

• Keep unit accessible on your rig and avoid rough impact or dropping. Standard scuba care applies.

Routine Care

• Annual professional service by an authorized Zeagle dealer keeps performance optimal and maintains warranty.

• Replace worn O‑rings, hoses, mouthpieces as needed; these wear faster than the regulator body.

Storage

• Store in a clean, dry bag or box with dust cap on inlet; don’t coil hoses tightly or pressurize during storage.
