1. Ifihan

This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your SCUBAPRO MK11/C370 Diving Regulator System. The MK11/C370 is designed for divers seeking a reliable and compact regulator for various diving conditions. Its marine-grade, chrome-plated brass body is engineered for reduced size and weight, making it suitable for travel. The air-balanced diaphragm first stage ensures consistent and effortless airflow, independent of depth, tank pressure, or breathing rate. Sealed internal components protect the mechanism from water intrusion and enhance cold-water performance. The system includes multiple high-pressure and low-pressure ports for flexible hose routing. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the equipment.

• C370 Second Stage: The component from which the diver breathes, further reducing intermediate pressure to ambient pressure.
• Low-Pressure (LP) Hose: Connects the first stage si keji stage.
• High-Pressure (HP) Port Plugs: For sealing unused high-pressure ports.
• Low-Pressure (LP) Port Plugs: For sealing unused low-pressure ports.

Follow these steps to correctly assemble your SCUBAPRO MK11/C370 regulator system:

1. Connect First Stage to Cylinder Valve:

   Ensure the cylinder valve O-ring is in good condition. Align the MK11 first stage's INT connector with the cylinder valve. Hand-tighten the yoke screw securely. Do not overtighten.

2. Attach Second Stage:

   Connect the C370 second stage to one of the low-pressure (LP) ports on the first stage. Ensure the hose is routed comfortably for diving. The MK11 features two high-pressure, two low-pressure, and two high-flow LP ports for optimal hose configuration.

3. Connect Pressure Gauge/Computer:

   Attach your submersible pressure gauge (SPG) or dive computer transmitter to one of the high-pressure (HP) ports on the first stage. Ensure it is securely fastened.

4. Connect BCD Inflator Hose:

   Connect your BCD inflator hose to an available low-pressure (LP) port.

5. Ṣayẹwo Ṣayẹwo:

   Slowly open the cylinder valve and listen for any leaks. Check all connections for bubbles if submerged in water. If leaks are detected, close the valve and re-check connections.

Proper operation of your regulator is crucial for a safe dive. Familiarize yourself with its features:

• Pre-Dive Breathing Check:

  Before entering the water, take a few breaths from the second stage to ensure it functions correctly and delivers air smoothly.

• Diver-Adjustable Inhalation Effort:

  The C370 second stage features a knob to adjust inhalation effort. Turn clockwise for higher resistance (less sensitive) or counter-clockwise for lower resistance (more sensitive). Adjust to your comfort level, typically setting it for minimal effort during the dive.

• Dive/Pre-Dive Lever:

  The coaxial dive/pre-dive lever helps prevent free-flow at the surface or when the regulator is not in use. Set to "Pre-Dive" before entering the water and switch to "Dive" once submerged and ready to breathe. This lever increases breathing resistance slightly to prevent accidental free-flow.

• Bọtini Pipa:

  The large purge button on the front of the second stage allows you to clear water from the regulator or to deliver a burst of air. Press firmly to activate. Its design makes it easy to operate even with thick gloves.

• Compact Hi-Flow Mouthpiece:

  The mouthpiece is designed for improved airflow and comfort, fitting various mouth sizes. Ensure it is securely in your mouth during the dive.

Proper maintenance extends the life of your regulator and ensures safe operation. Always rinse your regulator thoroughly after each dive and have it professionally serviced regularly.

• Rinsin: After each dive, with the first stage still attached to a pressurized cylinder (or with the dust cap securely in place), rinse the entire regulator system with fresh, clean water. Do not press the purge button while rinsing unless the first stage is pressurized, as this can force water into the first stage.
• Gbigbe: Allow the regulator to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight.
• Ibi ipamọ: Store your regulator in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and chemicals. Avoid kinking hoses.
• Iṣẹ Iṣẹ Ọjọgbọn: SCUBAPRO recommends annual inspection and servicing by an authorized SCUBAPRO dealer, or more frequently with heavy use. This includes replacing O-rings and other critical components.
• Ayewo wiwo: Regularly inspect hoses for cracks, cuts, or bulges. Check the mouthpiece for tears or damage.
