CONSUMERS
ACTION
Present their WTX
Inflator to an
Authorised Aqua
Lung / Apeks Service
centre for inspection.
DEFECTS: Aqua Lung have been
made aware of a case of a poorly
retained oral inflate button that
came off an Apeks WTX Inflator.
The button is supposed to be
adhered with a high strength
thread locker. Aqua Lung's
research into the matter indicates
that some units may have been
improperly adhered by their
supplier. Because an inspection of
the button is easy to do, Aqua
lung believes that it is prudent to
inspect all units in the field. Aqua
Lung believe that very few, if any,
of the WTX Inflators will exhibit
this problem.
