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, register your regulator at www.zeagle.com/registration 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. The first stage serial number is
stamped on the first stage on the side 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
pre-fix letter followed by six numbers. All of the digits
of both the first and second stages must be entered

records.
