Instructions

Inspect Regs

Inspect the main and second regs. Check the condition of the mouthpiece. Suck gently on the reg and verify that the reg unit is airtight. If the reg is not airtight remove the front cover and verify the condition of the Diaphramand Exhaust Valve. See R190 Parts Listto list R190 parts. For other issues work through R190 troubleshooting. Read R190 Service Manualand Mk2 Repair Guidefor interest.

Inspect Hoses

Inspect the Octopus Hose, Main Reg hose, BC Inflate hose, High pressure hoseand if fitted the Drysuit Hose. Replace any hoses that have kinks or bulges.

UBUC drysuit policy

It is club policy that any member wanting to dive on a drysuit on our regs should fit a CEJN nippleto their drysuit. This saves club regs from the wear and tear associated with changing hoses. A drysuit hose if fitted should be of this type.

Pressure Check

Connect the reg to a cylinder, using a bucketof Soapy Waterimmerse the reg and hoses and check for leaks around the hoses and any Low Pressure Blank or High Pressure Blank. Leaks are fixed by changing the appropriate o-ring and removing salt and encrustation with a Ultrasonic Bathwith Cleaning Solution. Leaks at the Submersable pressure Guage (SPG) need SPG Swivel O-ring. Low pressure hoses at the first stage require LP port O-ring. High pressure hoses need HP port O-ringand leaks at the reg connection need Reg Swivel O-ring. Verify that the SPGreads accurately at pressure and at atmosphere.

Interstage Pressure

Using the Interstage p guageCheck and log the interstage pressure of the reg

Check dustcap

Check the Dust CapReplace if worn or hanging off

Inspect Console

Verify that the Reg Consoleis in good order and that the items within it are operational. The electronc Bottom Timersare battery powered and are not required for pool training. The batteries cannot be replaced and so to extend the life of these units they should be removed from pool regs and stored in a dry place.

Check Cable Wrap

UBUC has a policy of advertising which regulators are available for sea use by wrapping Cable Wrap around one of the hoses. This provides an immediately obvious verification of the state of the regulator. If the regulator is suitable for sea use then it should have Cable Wrap on it. If it isn't then the Cable Wrap should be removed.

Record

Verify that a UBUC Label is attached and log completion of the inspection, the items operational status and any conditional comments.
