2) Use of the equipment is limited to the uses described in this manual or for applications approved in writing by SCUBAPRO.
3) Cylinders must only be j lled with atmospheric compressed air, according to the EN 12021 norm. Should moisture be
present in the cylinder, besides causing corrosion of the cylinder, it may cause freezing and subsequent malfunction of the
regulator during dives carried out in low temperature conditions (lower than 10°C (50°F)). Cylinders must be transported
according to local rules provided for the transport of dangerous goods. Cylinder use is subjected to the laws regulating the
use of gases and compressed air.
4) Equipment must be serviced by qualij ed personnel at the prescribed intervals. Repairs and maintenance must be carried
out by an Authorized SCUBAPRO Dealer service facility and with the exclusive use of original SCUBAPRO spare parts.
5) Should the equipment be serviced or repaired without complying with procedures approved by SCUBAPRO or by
untrained personnel or not certij ed by SCUBAPRO, or should it be used in ways and for purposes other than specij cally
