5)Place the air train gasket on the base of the air train. The knob on the base of the air train gasket is designed to cover the recessed hole where the bolt that helps maintain the position of the air train is installed. Slip the air train over the stud. Align the air train with the upper edge of the view port opening in the helmet shell.

6)Place the washer on the stud and tighten the nut until the washer lays flush on the air train, 15 inch pounds. Do not overtighten!

7)Test the side block prior to diving to ensure that no silicone sealant is blocking the air flow to the helmet.

WARNING

Avoid skin contact with lacquer thinner. Wear rubber gloves. Lacquer thinner can damage the nervous system.
