Note: This stage must be completed before
Mask Reassembly.
Make sure all parts of the mask system,
especially the valve membrane, are clean
and dry before reassembling. If the valve
membrane is damaged, distorted or torn,
replace it with a new valve membrane.
1 Insert the valve membrane into the
valve frame and gently push it into place 
(Fig. E-1). Make sure it is seated evenly
and flatly around the rim of the valve
frame, as the membrane may produce a
noise while you are breathing out, if it is
fitted incorrectly.
2 Push the valve frame over the tabs of
the valve elbow until they lock together 
(Fig. E-2). Make sure the valve frame and
valve elbow are securely connected to
each other.
3 Insert the swivel into the end of the
valve elbow and secure it with the swivel
clip (Fig. E-3).
4 Set the assembled valve (Fig. E-4) aside
for use in the following stage.

See section F on the illustrations sheet.
1 Check that the holes in the exhaust vent
are not obstructed. If they are
obstructed, replace the exhaust vent.
Push the exhaust vent onto the mask
frame so the small round bump on the
exhaust vent is on the outside of the
mask frame (Fig. F-1).
CAUTION
The exhaust vent must be correctly
inserted into the mask frame to
prevent leakage. Poor sealing may
reduce pressure and affect therapy.
2 Twist the luer lock port caps onto the
mask ports (Fig. F-2).
