Safety Information
Read these instructions carefully before using your regulator, and
keep this manual for future reference.
Following the care and maintenance section at the end of this booklet will help ensure reliable service.
Model Differences
The primary difference between the Flathead-7 and Flathead-LT
models, involves the 1st stages. The Flathead-7 has a dry-sealed
first stage and a Heat-sink on the 2nd Stage to help prevent freezing
in cold water. The Flathead-LT has a wet spring chamber on the
1st stage and plastic spacer on the 2nd stage to make the LT lighter
while still maintaining the extremely high flow capacities.

Limited Lifetime Warranty To The Original Owner
1. Your Z / Flathead is guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship. This guarantee does not cover normal wear, or damage from
accident, abuse, neglect, alterations, improper usage, or failure to follow
reasonable care and maintenance as outlined in this manual. Under this
limited warranty, Zeagle will either repair or replace, at its sole option, any
original equipment or parts that fail to perform as intended. Shipping and
Labor charges are not included and must be paid by you. To validate your
warranty, you must fill out and return your warranty registration card within
30 days of purchase. This Limited Lifetime Warranty excludes filters,
hoses, O-rings, diaphragms and mouthpieces, which are warranted for two
years from the regulator’s date of purchase. Filling out the card requires
printing CLEARLY the serial numbers of both the first
and second stages. The first stage serial number is
stamped on the first stage on the top of the regulator
(fig. 1). The second stage serial number is stamped on
the mouthpiece tube (fig. 2). To read this serial number
you must fold back the flexible silicone mouthpiece to
expose the numbers. Each serial number consists of a
ID #
pre-fix letter followed by six numbers.
All of the digits of both the first and second stages must
be CLEARLY printed on your warranty registration card
for your warranty to be activated. You can also register
at www.zeagle.com.

3. To keep the original-owner Limited Lifetime Warranty in effect, you
must have your regulator inspected and serviced annually, within 30
days before or after the anniversary of the purchase date. Failure to do
so will invalidate your warranty. This servicing must be performed by an
authorized Zeagle dealer. Save the receipts from this servicing for your
records.

Equipment. This warranty does not cover those other products or make
any claims as to the performance or suitability of those other products.
6. This limited warranty applies only to regulators sold in the USA through
authorized Zeagle Systems dealers.
7. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other
rights that may vary from state to state.
8. This warranty applies only to regulators purchased from Authorized
Zeagle Dealers located within the United States. The regulator must be
picked up by the original owner at the dive store. Regulators shipped to
the customer in another location are not covered. Warranty coverage in
countries other than the US varies. Outside the US your dealer will be able
to get further Warranty information from the Authorized Zeagle Regional
Distributor.
