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 book
let will help ensure reliable service.
Limited Lifetime Warranty To The Original Owner
1. Your Octo-Z is guaranteed against defects in materials and
workmanship. This guarantee does not cover normal wear, or dam
age from accident, abuse, neglect, alterations, improper usage, or
failure to follow reasonable care and maintenance as outlined in
this manual.

Limited Lifetime Warranty (contd.)
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 registration
card by mail, or register your Octo-Z at www.zeagle.com within 30 days
of purchase. This Limited Lifetime Warranty excludes hoses, O-rings,
diaphragms and mouthpieces, which are warranted for two years from the
regulator’s date of purchase. Filling out the mail-in card requires printing
the serial numbers CLEARLY.
The Octo-Z serial number
is stamped on the front
edge of the body (fig. 1).
Each serial number
consists of a pre-fix letter
followed by six numbers.
A bright light held at an angle
can make the numbers easier to
read on the light yellow colored
housings.
All of the these digits
must be ACCURATELY
printed during your product
registration for your warranty
to be activated.
2. IMPORTANT: For proof of original ownership, you must save the original purchase receipt. It is your record of when and where the regulator
was purchased. If you bring your Octo-Z to a different Zeagle Dealer, they
will ask to see your receipt to begin warranty service. The receipt also lets
you know when your annual service should be performed.

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 war
ranty. This servicing must be performed by an authorized Zeagle dealer.
Save
the receipts from this servicing for your records. The receipt will be needed if you
move to a different dealer.
4. The required work at the Dealer will alternate between test and inspection one
year, followed by a disassembly and complete service the next year. Bring this
booklet to your dealer so they can look at the “Records” on Page 15 to determine
if it is time for a simple inspection or a complete overhaul. The simple inspection
should take less time than the complete overhaul.
5. This limited warranty applies only to the original purchaser, and then only to
certified divers.
6. Sometimes products from other manufacturers are attached to Zeagle
Equipment. This warranty does not cover those other products or make any
claims as to the performance or suitability of those other products.
-
7. This limited warranty applies only to regulators sold in the USA through autho
rized Zeagle Systems dealers.
8. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights
that may vary from state to state.
9. Warranty coverage in countries other than the US varies. Outside the US your
dealer will be able to get further Warranty information from their Authorized Zeagle
Regional Distributor.
Disclaimer And Limitation On Remedy
(Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or
do not allow exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the following
limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.)
Zeagle expressly limits any and all warranties, expressed or implied, to the terms
of the limited warranty as set forth above. Your remedies are limited to those
contained herein and are in lieu of all other remedies, whether based on breach
of warranty or contract, negligence, strict product liability or other tort. Zeagle
specifically disclaims liability for any consequential, special or indirect damages
arising out of the use of Zeagle Equipment.
