CAUTION: Harsh acids, such as muriatic acid, may cause damage to
parts and must be strictly avoided. Undiluted white vinegar, although less
effective, is the only recommended substitute for LFW

.
STEP 4 – Neutralizing Bath:
▼ Thoroughly mix 8 cup sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) with one
quart fresh tap water in a clean container. Remove the parts from the
acid bath, and immerse in this solution for 2-3 minutes.
STEP 5 – Final Rinse:
▼ Use only distilled water, to prevent mineral stains on the plated finish of
newly cleaned parts.
▼ Agitate lightly, and then allow to soak for at least 15 minutes.
▼ Change the rinse often, to maintain a neutral PH.
▼ Dry the parts afterward with low pressure (50 psi) filtered air.
▼ Closely inspect all parts afterward to ensure they have been properly
cleaned and are in like-new condition.
CLEANING TIPS:
▼ The yoke screw threads may be dipped into the acid bath, holding the
plastic portion out of the cleaner.
▼ Be certain to isolate parts with critical sealing surfaces, including the
orifice, to avoid harmful contact with other metal parts.
▼ If salt and corrosion buildup is severe around the hose fittings, immerse
only the fitting of each hose in the acid bath cleaner, in order to pre-
vent the solution from entering the hose. Rinse thoroughly in fresh
water using the same method, and hang the hose to dry suspended in
the middle with both ends hanging down. Blow low pressure (50 psi)
filtered air through each hose prior to installing it onto the regulator.
NOTE: The parts are now clean for use with standard compressed air,
not to exceed 24% oxygen content. Proceed directly to Section 5 –
Reassembly Procedures, or proceed to the following page for additional
cleaning instructions if the regulator will be serviced or upgraded for use
with EAN/ Nitrox.
