Putting gear together

[mrgonz]

Hello All,
I just got back from Leisure Pro. I bought a dive system and a few other things. Now, the problem is that since they were closing I forgot to have them assemble my gear (first stage to computer hoses, LP hose). I have all the tools needed to assemble the gear and of course the instructions from the owners manuals. Is it safe for me to put together the things myself? Going back to the store would definitely be a hassle.

Thanks,
Gonz

Yes. I just changed all my hoses out yesterday. Like changing a light bulb. Just twist it into the first stage by hand until the hose stops turning, then snug it a bit with a wrench. Make SURE you don't cross-thread or overtighten the hoses. That could result in you having to replace your first stage.

[asking this veeeery carefully] You mean the people at LP didn't just offer (or just do it) to put it together? I wouldn't shop there again.

You don't yet know the meaning of hassle.

Wait 'til you screw the pooch trying to put it all together, THEN take it back to the store and try to get them to un-screw the situation or return your money.

THATS hassle.

You'r new to diving and when your 80' underwater you want to be sure everything is correct. Go back to the store. They will be glad to help.

I remember the day I was divemastering at the pool, we are handing out gear for the students, and one guy has a bag full of boxes. He had ordered from Leisure Pro, then thought we would assemble everything for him and his wife, right there on the spot, so he could use it. He was a little disappointed when they had to use our shop equipment that day. Had he even mentioned it before the classroom portion began, I may (or may not) have gotten it put together for them. When we were ready to get into the pool was the wrong time for him to start thinking about it.
