Product Features Go directly to Disassembly

Features Models Over-Balanced Diaphragm Design Dry Chamber (Environmentally Sealed) Air Turbo System Available In 300 Bar DIN Polyurethane Sheath

Features Easy Access To HP Seat Hose Configuration High Pressure Seat Conical Filter Nitrox Compatible

Features (Models) Five Models –Legend LX –Legend LX Supreme –Legend –Legend Supreme –Legend Glacia

Features (Diaphragm Mechanism) Proven high performance design Small components reduce friction compared to large piston Moving parts protected from environment Peak performance regardless of tank pressure or depth Easy to set the medium pressure externally

Features (Over-Balanced Design) Balanced First Stage –Medium pressure remains constant at 135 psi plus ambient Legend First Stage –Medium pressure increase at a rate faster than ambient –Increases by two atmospheres by 165 feet –Helps compensate for denser air at depth

Features (Dry Chamber) Protects main spring from freeze-up Keeps spring chamber free of contamination & corrosion No messy oil

Features (Air Turbo System) Shortcut between MP reservoir and diaphragm chamber Diaphragm reacts faster to pressure drop Reg becomes more responsive to air demand

Features (Yoke Or DIN) 3365 psi yoke (232 Bar) 4351 psi DIN (300 Bar)

Features (Polyurethane Sheath) Provides shock resistance Covers entire brass body Enhances cosmetics of first stage Replacement sheaths can dress up used regs

Features (Easy Access) End plug also balancing chamber Eliminates spring block and spring

Features (Hose Configuration) Can be mounted with diaphragm up or down Two HP ports for redundancy and versatility Four MP ports to accommodate drysuit hose

Features (High Pressure Seat) Best in industry! Operates up to 4500 psi Resilient to deep coining Forgiving of contaminants

Features (Conical Filter) More porous than previous filters Greater surface area –Better filtration –Better flow Same filter used in yoke or DIN configuration

Features (Nitrox Compatible) The Legend is nitrox (EAN) compatible to 40% out of the box Built with a high level of cleanliness EAN compatible components and lubricants Have passed required adiabatic compression testing to ensure their safety and compatibility

Features (Nitrox Compatible) Responsibility of the owner to maintain the cleanliness of the regulator If regulator will be used interchangeably with breathing air, the air should be oxygen-compatible or hyper- filtered whereas the condensed hydrocarbons do not exceed 0.1 mg/m3 Grade E air does not necessarily meet this criterion Hydrocarbons found in Grade E air can pose a risk in the presence of elevated oxygen content

Features (Nitrox Compatible) Hydrocarbons build up over time along the passageways of the equipment When hydrocarbons come in contact with high-pressure oxygen enriched air, they can pose a very real hazard that can lead to combustion If a regulator has had use with Grade E breathing air, it should receive a standard overhaul, including ultrasonic cleaning with a detergent solution, that removes hydrocarbons, prior to being put back into nitrox service

Features (Nitrox Compatible) Although second stage components are not exposed to high pressure EAN, Aqualung recommends that the same cleaning procedures be followed for the complete regulator This prevents the possibility of cross contamination and guarantees the cleanliness of the entire regulator

Adjusting & Final Assembly

Adjusting Medium Pressure (MP) Install MP gauge (p/n ) into 1 st stage MP port –If gauge lacks over-pressure relief valve, attach properly adjusted 2 nd stage as relief valve in case of HP leak

Adjusting Medium Pressure (MP) Attach Legend to fully charged cylinder 3000 psi (206 bar)

WARNING ! If the pressure gauge rapidly exceeds 145 psi (10 bar), there is a HP leak. Quickly close the cylinder valve and purge the regulator. Failure to do so may cause a rupture to the MP hose and/or MP gauge which, in turn, can lead to personal injury

Adjusting Medium Pressure (MP) With relief valve open on gauge, slowly open cyl. valve & pressurize the 1 st stage

Adjusting Medium Pressure (MP) Close the relief valve –If MP rapidly exceeds 145 psi (10 bar ), open relief valve & shut off cylinder valve –This means there is a HP leak

Adjusting Medium Pressure (MP) Using an 8mm hex key –Turn adjustment screw clockwise in 1/8 turn increments to increase the MP –Turn Adjustment screw counter- clockwise to decrease the MP

Adjusting Medium Pressure (MP) Using the relief valve on the gauge –Cycle the reg several times after each adjustment –Set the MP to: Legend Std psi (9-10 bar) –Legend Supreme psi (8-9 bar) Legend Std. MP Settings: psi 9-10 bar Legend Sup. MP Settings: psi 8-9 bar

Adjusting Medium Pressure (MP) Let the regulator stand for several minutes. Check that MP remains stable –If MP rises more than 5psi (0.3 bar), it indicates a leak –Close valve, purge line & pressurize again – Confirm MP is stable Legend Std. MP Settings: psi 9-10 bar Legend Sup. MP Settings: psi 8-9 bar

Install Spacer & Ribbed Washer Spacer flats face upward, align flats w/spring retainer flats

Install Piston (Load Transmitter) Dry chamber parts must be installed while under pressure

Install Diaphragm Cup side faces down –Diaphragm edge fits into outer groove –Work edges with finger

Torque Cap Mount 1 st stage in bench vise –In/lb torque wrench –8mm hex key adapter –Torque to 35 in/lbs (3.9 Nm) Torque: 35 in/lbs 3.9 Nm

Testing

Recheck MP MP should still be in proper range – psi for Std. (9-10 bar) – psi for Supreme (8-9 bar) –Readjust if necessary Legend Std. MP Settings: psi 9-10 bar Legend Sup. MP Settings: psi 8-9 bar

Immersion Test With Legend still pressurized –Submerge in bath of water –Look for streaming bubbles; dont mistake trapped air for leaks –Note leak source; refer to troubleshooting table in Technical Maintenance Manual
