certainly need to unscrew the cylinder tank from the valve. To do this, drag the

protection of the tank towards the valve and unscrew (counterclockwise)

simply the 2 elements. These 2 elements must be screwed down properly with

the original O-ring for reassembly.

INSTRUCTIONS TO RESPECT IMPERATIVELY

Open COMPLETELY the valve before use

NEVER block your breathing, breathe continuously

NEVER go up to the surface faster than air bubbles

Use at SHALLOW depth

Watch your MANOMETER VERY REGULARLY

USE PROHIBITED WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF USE HAZARDS

5. Precaution of general use

•Due to its vital fonction, always use it with care

•Never force on the valve

•When Seagow is not used, don't let the top compartment (regulators

and flexible) under pressure, purge the air thanks to the second stage

membrane

•Too much stress on the second stage membrane can engender a too

important air expulsion, to stop it, obstruct the mouthpiece

•Avoid any contact between sand or condiment and the Seagow

•Don't expose the material to the sun for a long time

•During the first use, connect the first stage regulator to the valve and make

a complete test of the tank into the air to evaluate your feeling

•Be careful when you unscrew the first stage regulator (especially if it’s not

completely purged) because it can expel the Oring between the valve

and 1st stage regulator, put it again in the groove provided for this

purpose if this is the case

•Only screw and unscrew the 1st stage by the plastic washer

WARNINGS

•In case of leak or suspicion of dysfunction, do not place your ears near the

equipment, close the valve and refer to these instructions, contact your

dealer if necessary

5.1 Before diving

•In addition to a good health, it is necessary for the user to consult an

health specialist

•Visually control the equipment before opening the valve

•Before connecting the first stage to the valve, tie the black scratch tape to

the valve.

•The MP and HP outputs of the first stage should not be easily slacked by

hands when the pressure regulator is not under pressure, idem for hose /

2nd stage regulator connexion

•As a precaution, during the opening of the valve, do not direct the

manometer towards you

•To open the tank, slowly turn the handle of the valve in the

counterclockwise direction, valve must be completely open, then make

a quarter turn backwards (do not let the valve reach the stop)

•Tie the black scratch tape to your neck and tie the white one to the tank

and to your waist.

•Make 2 or 3 inspiration/expiration cycles test before setting to water

to check the proper functioning

•Never do a rotation (except the ones provided by this purpose) of the

element after the pressurization

•Adapt your dive to the pressure on the manometer

WARNINGS

•If the valve is not completely opened, the user will not be able to use all

the compressed air of the tank. That’s why it is essential to entirely open

the valve and then to do a quarter turn backwards

5.2 When diving

•Always adopt flexible and continuous breathing to optimize your

autonomy under water

•Use the equipment in a water above +10°C (50°F)

•Seagow should only be used by one person at a time

•The maximum depth authorized is 3 m (10 ft)

•Regularly control the remaining pressure of the tank with the

manometer

•The user should stay at the surface when the remaining pressure is

equal or inferior to 50 bar (725 PSI) (red zone of the manometer)

•Stop the dive in case of leak coming from the Seagow, slowly go back up

to the surface

•Plan to stop using the equipment before the total lack of compressed air

WARNINGS

•Never go back up to the surface faster than the air bubbles

•Stop the dive in case of discomfort towards the ears or sinuses, do

not dive with a cold

•NEVER stop your breathing during your descent or your ascent

•Do not immerge the Seagow 200 or 300 when it is not pressurized

5.3 After diving

After using the Seagow please follow the following instructions :

-Remove the remaining water in the second stage

-Untie the white scratch tape from your waist

-Carry the tank and untie the black scratch tape from your neck (be

careful not to drop the tank)

-Close the valve

-Purge the remaining air by pressing the second stage regulator

membrane

-Rince the equipment with pure water

-Unscrew the first stage regulator from the valve

-Let the equipment dry

•Do not use aerosols or other solvents for the cleaning

WARNINGS

•The cleaning of the second stage has to be done gently. A too strong

water jet through the mouthpiece can damage the internal membrane

6. Refill of compressed air

•The person who refills the tank is responsible for the quality of the

compressed air

•If there is a difference between the pressure of the compressor and the

manometer of the tank which has to be refilled, take into consideration

the higher value.

WARNINGS

•The seacow 200 should not be refilled with a pressure superior to

200 bar (3000 psi). It is to the person responsible of the refilling to

make sure of this.

•The seacow 300 should not be refilled with a pressure superior to

300 bar (4500 psi). It is to the person responsible of the refilling to

make sure of this.

6.1 Filling with the Seagow compressor

For this part, please refer to the Seagow Compressor user manual, supplied

with the latter

6.2 Filling with a classic dive compressor

•The handling of a classic dive compressor must be performed by a

qualified person

•When the first stage is separated from the valve, protect it thanks to the

supplied protection

•During the reassembling of the first stage regulator, make sure that the

outputs are well-oriented

WARNINGS

•This handling of a classic dive compressor has to be done by a

qualified person

•The outlet air flow rate of the compressor has to be slowed down

compared to the filling of a scuba tank called « usual » of several

litters

•The filling must be done very slowly, from 0 to 200 bar (3000 PSI) in 2

mins 30 secs minimum

•The filling must be done very slowly, from 0 to 300 bar (4500 PSI) in 3

mins minimum

•Make a break during the filling in case of a too important heating and

let the tank cool

7. Dangers

•The non-respect of these elementary rules of scuba diving may engender

risks of drowning or physical damages which can cause death

•In case of shock, the equipment can be damaged without visual harms, in

case of doubt, make your equipment inspected by a specialist

•It is totally forbidden to change the layout or to modify the different parts of

the Seagow

•Never integrate elements from the Seagow on an other (diving) equipment

or vice versa

•Never introduce water in the equipment

8. Storage

•After the drying, store the products in a box or a clean and closed bag

•Store the products in a dry place, protected from the light, between +5°C

and 35°C (41°F to 35 °F)

•Let the valve closed during storage, the top compartment should not be

under pressure

•Do not store the products near gasolines, oils or other chemical products

•Do not store the products in a dusty place or where there is sand

•The flexible should be free from all constraints, tank should be in a vertical

position, valve to the top

•During storage, remove the first stage regulator from valve and

protect the output with the cap included

9. Maintenance and upkeep

•The proper functioning and the proper preservation of your equipment do

not necessarily depend on its use frequency. Even when it is not used, a

bad storage can significantly damage the device

pressure regulator but it is advisable (inquire by country)

•Prefer the replacement of a defective piece by an original one

•If there is a leak in the 1st stage, tighten the MP output with your hand and

the DIN connection with an Allen key

•Do not try to fix your equipment by yourself else-way than by the

instructions given in this manual

•Do not forget that your security and the proper functioning of your

equipment depend on its maintenance
