Content: If you have a DIN valve, the procedure is similar, with the exception that the 1st stage is screwed into the cylinder valve. Opening the Cylinder
Hold the submersible pressure gauge so that the face points towards the ground. An air leak inside the gauge could cause the gauge's cover to pop off, and holding the gauge face-down minimizes the risk of injury in the event this occurs. Slowly turn the valve knob counter-clockwise to open the valve. Continue to open the valve until it's completely open. Hold the face of the submersible pressure gauge against the cylinder or ground while opening the cylinder valve. Testing the Scuba Unit
Make sure the valve knob is opened. Listen carefully for air leaks near the valve or 1st stage. A hissing sound usually indicates a worn or cracked valve o-ring, which should be replaced before diving. Check the submersible pressure gauge to ensure the cylinder is full.
