Introducon
Deep6 has introduced a regulator set that is built with precision manufactured components designed to
the highest standards in the industry. In our rst stage, computer controlled CNC milling machinery
enables precise component producon. Our specicaons are exacng, yielding consistent performance.
In our Signature Series, addional manufacturing requirements include Teon-impregnated o-rings for
crical components, a durable PVD coang and second stage bodies made with high-impact material.
Our regulators have proven themselves on the most demanding, deep technical dives. But our business
model empowers you to take command of your own service, should you desire. This can signicantly
lower the cost of ownership, placing this extraordinary equipment within the reach of the weekend
recreaonal diver.
Our rst stage oers ve low pressure ports on a swivel that will accommodate virtually any desired hose
roung. Two opposed high pressure ports make both sidemount and backmounted double tank diving
easy to congure. The regulator’s environmentally sealed and precisely balanced diaphragm construcon
yields a low Intermediate Pressure change from full to empty tank. Of special benet to both the vacaon
diver and technical diver, it requires only a quick external rinse for post-dive maintenance.
Our balanced second stage design includes both an adjustable orice and adjustable poppet spring
tension, allowing easy tuning and on-the-y accommodaon of diering breathing requirements between
primary and auxiliary second stages. A precision adjustment of Venturi ow augmentaon provides
smooth breathing at depth, while allowing a quick and easy way to prevent freeow on giant stride from a
boat, even while wearing heavy gloves.
Unique in the industry, our specially-designed “Turbine Piston” ensures laminar ow of breathing gas
down the second stage barrel on its way to the mouthpiece, greatly improving air delivery. The poppet’s
design does not require special alignment during assembly, increasing safety by ensuring complete lever
engagement in any poppet orientaon.
By oering in-person scuba regulator service training courses as well as factory service, Deep6 allows you
to control an unknown that arises with every service interval. Servicing your own equipment can
substanally decrease the cost of ownership. This service manual is your link between your Deep6 service
training and your regulator, helping to ensure that you can maintain your regulators at the same level of
performance as on the day you bought them. Addionally, this document can assist you in diagnosing
problems and making on-site adjustments should problems arise in a remote locaon.

NOTE: This manual is designed for use ONLY by those divers trained in regulator service by Deep6, or by
professional technicians already trained, experienced and acve in the service of sealed, balanced
diaphragm rst stages and adjustable, balanced, barrel-design second stages.
This manual is organized into broad chapters devoted to:
• General Consideraons, covering safety and tool-handling as covered in your Deep6 training course
• First Stage Service, further divided into Inspecon, Disassembly, Cleaning, Reassembly and Tuning
• Hose and SPG service
• Second Stage Service, further divided as above
• Troubleshoong
• Quick Reference Appendices and Schemacs
Cleaning for oxygen service is discussed in each component secon (1st, 2nd, Hose/SPG) for those who
desire to maintain the regulator’s suitability for oxygen use above 40%.
The Quick Reference chapter contains all crical steps from both 1st and 2nd stage service chapters
without addional discussion, providing the experienced technician with an easily used guide to the proper
order of crical service steps, required tools, o-ring sizes and torque values.
