3. Funcionament

The C370 second stage offers user-adjustable controls for optimal breathing performance.

• Inhalation Effort Control Knob: The C370 features an inhalation effort control knob. Turning this knob allows you to fine-tune the breathing resistance. Turn clockwise for increased resistance (useful for preventing free-flow on the surface or during entry) and counter-clockwise for reduced resistance (for easier breathing at depth).
• Dive/Pre-Dive Lever: A small coaxial dive/pre-dive lever is located on the C370. In the "Pre-Dive" position, the regulator is detuned to prevent free-flow before entering the water. In the "Dive" position, the regulator is fully operational for optimal breathing performance underwater. Always switch to "Dive" before descending.
• Botó de purga: The large purge button on the front of the C370 is designed for easy activation, even when wearing thick gloves. Pressing this button releases a burst of air to clear water from the second stage.

Els primers MK11tage provides constant and effortless airflow, unaffected by depth, tank pressure, or breathing rate, thanks to its balanced diaphragm design and environmentally sealed body.

4. Cura i Manteniment

Regular care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your SCUBAPRO regulator system.

• Esbandida: After each dive, thoroughly rinse the entire regulator system with fresh, clean water. Ensure the dust cap is securely in place on the first stage to prevent water from entering. Operate the purge button several times during rinsing to flush out any salt or debris from the second stage.
• Assecat: Deixeu que el regulador s'assequi completament a l'aire en una zona ombrejada i ben ventilada abans de guardar-lo. Eviteu la llum solar directa.

Refer to your local SCUBAPRO dealer for recommended service intervals, typically annually or every 100 dives, whichever comes first. The environmentally sealed design of the MK11 first stage helps protect internal components from water and pollutants, but regular inspection and service are still essential.
