This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your Mares Ultra ADJ 82X Scuba Diving Regulator Set. This set includes a high-performance first stage and a versatile second stage, designed for optimal breathing comfort and reliability in various underwater conditions.

The Mares Ultra ADJ 82X regulator set is engineered for divers seeking top-tier performance and comfort. It features a durable chrome-plated brass first stage with a 'pearl' finish, incorporating advanced technologies like Auto-Sealing Technology (AST) for anti-flooding protection and Dynamic Flow Control (DFC) for consistent high airflow. The Ultra ADJ second stage, crafted from ultralight technopolymer, offers a Vortex Assisted Design (VAD) for natural breathing and a Twin Power System for customizable airflow control. This regulator is suitable for both cold and warm water diving environments.

Proper setup of your regulator is crucial for safety and performance. Always ensure all components are clean and free from debris before assembly.

1. Lehen Stage (82X) Connection

The 82X first stage is designed for INT (International) tank valves. Ensure the tank valve O-ring is in good condition. Align the first stage connector with the tank valve and hand-tighten the yoke screw securely. Do not overtighten. The Auto-Sealing Technology (AST) in the first stage provides effective anti-flooding protection.

2. Hose Connections

Lotu bigarren stage hose, pressure gauge hose, and BCD inflator hose to the appropriate ports on the first stage. The 82X first stage features a swivel turret and tilted HP ports (Optimized Port Design - OPD) for optimal hose routing. Ensure all connections are finger-tight and then secured with a wrench if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines. The Dynamic Flow Control (DFC) on all LP ports ensures high and consistent airflow.

3. Bigarren Stage (Ultra ADJ)

Ensure the second stage mouthpiece is clean and properly attached. The Ultra ADJ second stage is made from ultralight technopolymer and features a Superflex hose for maximum comfort and flexibility.

Once your regulator is properly assembled and connected to a charged air tank, you can begin operation.

• Slowly open the tank valve and check the pressure gauge.
• Listen for any air leaks.
• Test the second stage by inhaling gently to ensure air flows freely.
• Press the purge button to confirm it functions correctly and clears water.

2. Adjustable Breathing Comfort

The Ultra ADJ second stage features an adjustable breathing comfort knob. This allows you to fine-tune the inhalation effort to your preference. Turn the knob clockwise to increase breathing effort (suitable for surface swimming or when conserving air) and counter-clockwise to decrease breathing effort for easier inhalation (ideal for deeper diving or when more air is needed).

3. Twin Power System

The Twin Power System on the Ultra ADJ second stage allows for further customization of airflow. This system enables divers to switch between two airflow settings: a natural breathing mode (VAD - Vortex Assisted Design) and a power breathing mode (IVAD - Integrated Vortex Assisted Design) for increased air delivery when needed. Adjust the lever to select your desired mode.

4. Purge Button

Bigarren stage features a wide pivoting purge button. Press this button to clear water from the mouthpiece or to deliver a continuous flow of air. This is useful for clearing the regulator underwater or for pre-breathing before a dive.

• While rinsing the second stage, gently press the purge button to allow water to flush through the internal components.
• Allow the regulator to air dry completely in a cool, shaded area, away from direct sunlight.
