Care and maintenance

 

  • Prior to diving

    - Check battery energy level, recharge as necessary
    - Inspect the cable carefully, check for cracks or other damages
    - Check connecting cable o-rings. Apply silicone grease if necessary.
    - Use connecting cable to connect the tank to the head, check connecting cable plugs for correct fitting.
    - Switch the torch on and check if it works correctly. Leave torches with HID filament working for at least 30 seconds.
    - If the torch does not work, switch it off and on again after 10 to 15 seconds
    - Switch the torch off – it is ready to use underwater.

  • After diving

    - Rinse the torch in fresh water.
    - Before unscrewing the plugs, wipe the torch with a dry cloth.
    - Disconnect the battery cable.
    - Make sure water has not penetrated the tank.
    - Inspect o-rings every 10 diving sessions.
    - Check the cable for damage that may occur during diving.
    - Avoid soiling with sand as it may damage the switch.
    - Having charged the battery store the parts in a carry-case to protect from damage.

  • O-rings

    - Avoid soiling o-rings with sand.
    - Inspect o-rings after 10 diving sessions and when disassembling the tank or the head, inspect o-rings prior to reassembling.
    - When unscrewing the plug, inspect the connecting cable plug o-rings.
    - Use silicone grease for greasing o-rings.
    - Always carry a spare set of o-rings – you never know when you may need them!
