5.1. Pre use precautions:

• To ensure safe use of the equipment, it is important for the user to be in good health
and consult a health specialist if necessary.
• Before diving or filling the equipment, visually inspect it to ensure that the head
regulator is properly secured.
 • Perform 2-3 inhale/exhale cycles as a test before entering the water to verify proper
function.
• Do not rotate any elements after pressurizing, except as directed by the
instructions.
• Always monitor pressure gauge.

5.2. During use precautions:

• To ensure safe use of the equipment, always maintain a continuous breathing

pattern.
• Use the Lung in water above 50°F (10°C). The equipment should only be used by one
person at a time, and the maximum depth is 3m (10ft).
• Regularly check the remaining pressure in the tank using the pressure gauge. If the
remaining pressure is equal to or less than 50 bar (725 PSI) (red zone on the pressure
gauge), the user MUST return and stay at the surface.
• If there is a leak from the Lung, slowly return to the surface and stop using the
equipment.
• WARNING: Never ascend faster than the air bubbles, stop the dive if you experience
discomfort in your ears or sinuses, do not dive if you have a cold.
• Never hold your breath during descent or ascent.
• Do not submerge the Lung when it is not pressurized.

5.3. Post use precautions:

• Release the pressure from the head regulator by pressing the membrane.
• Rinse the equipment with clean water.
• Allow the equipment to dry completely.
• WARNING: Do not clean the equipment using aerosols or solvents. When cleaning
the head regulator, be gentle as a strong jet of water through the mouthpiece can
damage the internal membrane.

6. Refilling compressed air:

• The individual responsible for refilling the tank is accountable for the quality of the
compressed air.
• When refilling the tank, if there is a discrepancy between the pressure in the refilling
tank and the pressure gauge of the tank being refilled, use the higher value.
• WARNING: The Lung should not be refilled with a pressure exceeding 200 bar (3000
psi). It is the responsibility of the person refilling the tank to ensure that this limit is
not exceeded.
6.1 High pressure pump:

To refill the Lung with the Hand pump, please follow these instructions:
1. Connect the pump's female clip to the male clip of the head regulator by
ensuring a secure "click" connection.
2. Pump until reaching the desired pressure.
3. Open the pump valve to release the pressure, enabling you to remove the
clip from the Lung.

• It is advised not to use the pump for more than 5 minutes continuously, as a cooling
period is necessary.
• Between each pumping cycle, you can release pressure from the pump to allow it to
cool (keep the tank connected).
• The optimum pumping cycle is 2 minutes 30 seconds of pumping, followed by a short
pause, then pumping again.
• Only use high pressure manual pumps sold by Lung that are compatible with Lung.
• Do not leave the pump connected under pressure when not in use.
• Always ensure the pressure gauge of the hand pump matches that of the Lung
cylinder pressure gauge.
• Make sure that no dust, water traces or other foreign elements are present in the
clips when the protections are removed.
• Incorrect orientation of the male clip in the female clip can cause a micro-leak. In this
case, reposition the clip so that the weight of the tank does not put stress on the
clip.
• Change the filters inside the cartridge after 5 full fillings of the tank - foam filters
and carbon balls are already supplied with the pump.

6.2 Air compressor:

To connect the 12 V compressor to the Lung:

• Connect the wires from the battery or inverter to the compressor.

• Connect the high-pressure hose to the compressor by attaching the female clip of
the hose to the male clip of the compressor, ensuring a secure "click" connection.
• Attach the female clip of the cartridge to the male clip of the head regulator,
ensuring a secure "click" connection.
• Fully screw in the brass decompression valve.
• Turn on the fans by pressing the fan switch (verify that the fans are working).
• Turn on the compressor by pressing the power switch.
• Compare the pressure of the compressor with the one of the Lung regularly.
• Monitor the temperature display, the temperature should not exceed 85°C (185°F).
 • Allow the compressor to run until the desired pressure is reached (maximum 200
bar/3000 psi).
• Unscrew the brass decompression valve to release the pressure from the hose.
• Disconnect the tank from the cartridge by releasing the female clip.
• Replace the filters inside the cartridge with a new mix of molecular sieve and active
coal.
• WARNING: Take a break during filling if the temperature becomes too high.

Introduction

• Scuba diving is a risky activity if done without knowledge of safety rules. This
document provides the main tips to follow and avoid making your dives an enjoyable
leisure time. Other tips may be provided by qualified diving instructors.
Safety Rules & Basic Advice

• Prior to diving, it is highly advisable to consult with a doctor to assess your fitness to
dive. If you have a history of cardiovascular disease, asthma, diabetes, heart disease,
 or vascular issues, ENT diseases, epilepsy, or other neurological disorders, scuba
diving is strongly discouraged. The same applies to temporary conditions such as
colds, sinusitis, bronchitis, infections in the nose, throat, ears (otitis), or teeth
(caries). Other factors that should cause you to avoid scuba diving include peptic
ulcer disease, retinal detachment, glaucoma, enlarged spleen (splenomegaly), or
pregnancy.
• Do not fly or travel to high altitudes on the same day as diving.
• Throughout the dive, adopt a continuous breathing pattern and regularly check your
pressure gauge.
• Do not use earplugs as they prevent pressure equalization. Dive only if you feel good
and hydrate yourself before and after the dive to avoid drying out the mucous
membranes due to cool and dry air.
The Descent

• The descent (even shallow) leads to an increase in ambient pressure. To maintain

equal pressure between you and the environment, you must perform the Valsalva
maneuver. This involves blowing (slowly) while pinching your nose and keeping
your mouth closed. By performing this operation, you avoid the main risk during the
descent: barotrauma, which mainly affects the eardrums and sinuses. If you are
unable to perform this procedure correctly, do not go deeper and ascend slowly to
the surface.

The Ascent

• During the ascent, it's important to perform the Toynbee maneuver by pinching
your nose and swallowing (swallowing saliva).
• Pulmonary overpressure accidents are one of the most serious dive accidents, and
occur when a diver stops breathing during an ascent. To avoid this, it's crucial to
maintain a flexible and continuous breathing pattern. The diver's ascent speed
should not be faster than the small air bubbles.
• For experienced users and graduates of an accredited center, the ascent from a
significant depth may require decompression, depending on the dive time and depth
reached. The goal is to remove the nitrogen accumulated in the body. If you ascend
too quickly, the nitrogen will not be eliminated and gas bubbles can cause risks such
as paralysis or thrombosis.
• If you experience pain or discomfort during the ascent or descent, stop your
progress and ascend slowly and gradually while controlling the pressure of your tank
and breathing.
Physical Effort

• Avoid making unnecessary efforts before, during, and after the dive and avoid apnea
before and after the dive.
• Do not attempt to exceed your limits, as the Lung equipment is not designed for
performance.
• Manage your breathing and if you experience shortness of breath, ascend slowly
and gradually.
Adapting to the Dive Environment
 • When underwater, it is important to only touch elements that you are familiar with
and that are safe to touch.
• Adapt your dive to the environment and be aware that poor visibility can be a
stressful factor.
• Stress can often lead to accidents, so it's important to manage stress to ensure a safe
dive.
• Properly equip yourself for the dive environment by choosing a suitable mask,
flippers and consider carrying an emergency buoy.
• Cold water can also be a stress factor, so it's important to wear suitable wetsuits or
dry suits to reduce potential problems such as breathlessness.
• Avoid diving in rough or choppy waters and make sure to check the current and
weather forecast before diving.
