Using your Scubapro S600 Second Stage Regulator effectively involves understanding its adjustments and proper breathing techniques.

5.1. Breathing Underwater

• Natural Breathing: The S600 is designed to mimic natural breathing. Breathe slowly and deeply, avoiding rapid or shallow breaths.
• Mouthpiece Position: Ensure the mouthpiece is comfortably and securely in your mouth, with your lips sealed around it to prevent water entry.

5.2. Aanpassings

• Inhalation Effort Knob: This knob allows you to fine-tune the breathing resistance. Turn it clockwise to increase resistance (harder to breathe) or counter-clockwise to decrease resistance (easier to breathe). Adjust to a comfortable level before or during the dive.
• VIVA (Venturi-Initiated Vacuum Assist) Switch:
  • MIN (Pre-Dive/Surface): Set to MIN (or 'Dive/Pre-Dive' depending on model marking) when on the surface or before entering the water. This setting helps prevent free-flow.
  • MAX (Underwater): Set to MAX (or 'Dive') once underwater. This position utilizes the Venturi effect to assist exhalation and reduce breathing effort.

5.3. Post-Dive

• Drukverminder: After the dive, close the tank valve before purging the regulator to release residual pressure.
• Ontkoppel: Carefully disconnect the second stage hose from the first stage.

6. Onderhoud

Proper maintenance extends the life of your regulator and ensures its reliability. Always rinse your regulator thoroughly after each use.

1. Freshwater Rinse: Immediately after each dive, rinse the entire second stage thoroughly with fresh, clean water. Ensure the dust cap is securely on the first stage if it's still attached, or disconnect the second stage and rinse it separately. Do not press the purge button while rinsing unless the regulator is pressurized, as this can allow water into the internal components.
2. Soak (Optional): For a more thorough cleaning, you may soak the second stage in warm (not hot) fresh water for 15-30 minutes.
3. Droog: Allow the regulator to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
