4) Remove the old hood & face seal from the mask frame. Remove the earphones from pockets in hood.

Inspection:

broken, or bent and are in good working condition.

2) Ensure that all mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris, oils, or greases.

Reassembly:

1) Reinstall the top & bottom bands into the new hood & face seal assembly (510-708). See figure 6.

4) Reinstall the earphones into the pockets of the new face seal. See figure 9.

NOTE: A small amount of pump silicone lubricant on the outside of the earphone assemblies will make them
easier to install.

side of the mask. See figure 10.

NOTE: Ensure that the hood & face seal are properly aligned and fitted onto the mask frame before tightening

Periodical Maintenance: Rinse the hood and face seal thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Air dry. Use
pump silicone conditioner on the face seal rubber to clean and help protect it.
