PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THIS EQUIPMENT

WARNING

1. Sherwood Scuba equipment is intended for use only by persons trained and certied by
a nationally recognized scuba training agency. Diving without the specic training including
safe diving practices and within the limits dened by the training agency exposes the user to

extremely hazardous situations that could result in serious personal injury or death. This manual
is not a substitute for the instruction needed to dive in a safe manner.

2. Sherwood regulators must not be serviced by anyone untrained. To perform the correct
service or repair procedures, return your equipment to an Authorized Sherwood Dealer. Any
time the equipment appears to be performing incorrectly or when recommended service is
needed, return your equipment to an Authorized Sherwood Dealer.

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the equipment. Equipment that is not properly
serviced could lead to a malfunction during use with possible personal injury or death.

3. Nitrox use (Enriched Air Nitrox) – Requires specialized training to avoid hazards that could
lead to serious injury or death. Be certain to read the information in this manual concerning
Nitrox use.

4. Cold water use – Diving in water temperatures less than 50°F (10°C) can impose operational

limits aecting the reliable operation of the equipment. Be certain to read the information

concerning cold water diving before attempting to use the equipment under such conditions.

WARNING

ENRICHED AIR NITROX (EAN)

Sherwood regulators have been designed and manufactured for use with clean air or Nitrox
mixtures containing no more than 40% oxygen.

Preparation for use with oxygen enriched gas mixtures requires the proper selection of
compatible materials and clean manufacturing practices that minimize the presence of
combustible materials inside the regulator. Your Sherwood regulator has been manufactured
observing these requirements

Use of Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN) exposes the user to additional risks that
are not present when diving with standard air. Breathing EAN under pressure

requires a full understanding of these risks and requires specic instruction

beyond that taught in basic scuba training.

Additionally, equipment exposed to EAN must be congured and maintained
properly to avoid the risk of re associated with use of oxygen enriched gases.

Failure to understand and avoid these risks may lead to serious personal
injury or death.
