REGULATOR MANUAL
General cautions and warnings
Before the usage of your regulator it is highly required that you have been
educated in diving and proven your skills through confirmation of international
diving schools or organisations.
The incorrect usage of your regulator through untrained or unqalified personel
is dangerous and can end in injuries or death.
This regulator must not be used for air supply above water levels.
Open the valve of the high pressure bottle slowly so the regulator can adjust
to the pressure.
NEVER use lubricants with your regulator and the bottle valve. Due to safety
reasons only trained SCUBA FORCE technicians have the permission to use
lubricants.
NEVER use solvents when cleaning your regulator. You must not use silicon
sprays or else to lubricate your regulator because its contents can damage
the rubber or Plastic E.g. the second stage casing.
The service recommended by the producer of your regulator should be carried
out at least once a year. The execution of said service has to be fulfilled by a
trained service-technician that is part of an employment relationship with an
authorized SCUBA FORCE dealer. Repairs, maintenance, dismanteling or
optimization work on the regulators can only be made by SCUBA FORCE-
trained and autorized personel
NEVER leave the pressured bottles connected with regulators alone. It can
fall onto the first stage and leave permanent damage at both the bottle valve
or the regulator itself.
Your regulator is by no means a “transportation or lifting device” for your
bottles. Use the designed handle at your bottle when carrying them.
Before diving in cold water (Water temperature below 10º C or below 50º F)
you require a special training as well as a certificate licensed by a competent
diving organisation. Furthermore you will need special equipment for cold
water. Equipment marked with the „bigger as 10° Celsius“ symbol (> 10°C) is
only usable for water temperatures above 10°C or 50°F
If you want to configurate your regulator with an additional emergency-
breathing system (Alternative air supply, Octopus)is the right choice of your
equipment required. Every device marked with EN250A is elligible for an
Octopus system.
SCUBA FORCE first stages have to be combined with a EN250:2014 certified
Pressure display.

Usage of Nitrox (EAN) in european Countries
The regulator you use was made for usage of clean, compressed atmospheric air.
(21% Oxygen and 79% nitrogen). The air has to meet the requirements of the
european standard EN 132, attachment A. Do not use your equipment with other
gasses or oxygenated gas mixtures with a higher proportion of Oxygen than 21%.
Ignoring this can lead to fatal accidents and death through fire or explosions.

Setting possibilities outside on your Second stage
Setting possibilities outside on your second stage
Modifications on the outside of your second stage gives you more advantages
because you can change the sensitivity of the regulator depending on your own
personal preferences whilst changing diving conditions apply.
Venturi-Setting
The SCUBA FORCE second stages are equipped with a Venturi- Support. The
Venturi lever is located on the left side, opposite the hose connection and helps with
a bigger airflow after you started breathing in.
You open the Venturi support by turning the lever towards the mouthpiece. There is
a marking on top of the lever which shows what position the lever is currently in.

REGULATOR MANUAL
Knob for the inhalation resistance
The second stage of our Black Devil is also equipped with a inhalation-resistance
knob.
The knob is right next to the Venturi lever and it regulates the breathing effort which
you have to make to start the airflow. If you turn the knob clock-wise the resistance
increases.this means, that the second stage will be less sensible towards sudden
changes of environmental pressure. Turning the knob counter clock-wise will lower
the resistance again and you will be able to breath easier. These setting possibilites
are especially helpful in greater diving depth or under changing circumstances which
affect the second stage. Such as diving in heavy currents or using a underwater
scooter. You may use the knob to adjust the performance of your regulator as your
diving session continues, or you can leave it on a middle setting, which treats it the
same way like a non-adjustable one.
Through this knob on the second stage you can change the breathing resistance.
The bigger the dots the higher the breathing comfort.

REGULATOR MANUAL
The Black Devil 2nd Stage disposes a heat exchanger for a better performance in
cold water. Its position is right behind the hose connection.
