Facility Requirements
s e c t i o n
The service facility is perhaps the most important asset of
any professional dive store. It should be clean and well
lighted, and stocked with a complete inventory of parts and
manufacturer's specialty tools for the products your store sells.
As a minimum requirement, your service facility should be
equipped with the following items:
❏
Ultrasonic Cleaner –
Select the right size model that can
keep up with the volume of regulators that your store services.
A built in timer and heater will help control the cleaning time
and temperature of the solution, since most solutions work best
when heated.
❏
Bench Mounted Vise –
A vise is sometimes needed to hold
the regulator secure – especially when removing the first stage
yoke retainer. Special care must be taken, however, to avoid
damage that can result from improper use of this tool. Be sure
to follow the instructions provided in this manual.
❏
Magnification Lamp –
Strong lighting and magnification are
essential requirements for performing a thorough parts inspec-
tion - especially when locating the cause of a small leak.
❏
Quality Wrenches & Sockets –
When working with chrome
plated brass parts, it is especially critical to use the correct size
wrench and to ensure that it fits properly over the part. The use
of an adjustable wrench is very likely to cause damage to your
customer's regulator, and should be strictly avoided at all times.
❏
Calibrated Inch-Pound Torque Wrench –
It is important to
follow the manufacturer's torque values whenever they are
specified, in order to avoid overtightening or under-tightening a
part. This is especially important for smaller parts and fittings,
when overtightening can easily damage the part.
❏
Calibrated Foot-Pound Torque Wrench –
Torque
wrenches that can be set for both inch-pound and foot-pound
measurements generally tend to be less accurate than wrenches
that are designed to measure torque within a specific range.
❏
Manufacturer's Specialty Tools –
Specialty tools are
critically important to performing each step of disassembly and
reassembly according to each manufacturer's procedures.
Genesis specialty tools that are required to perform service for
the Atlas and Yukon second stages are pictured on the following
