Adjust the neck dam so that it is turned up and out.
The neck dam is always turned up against the
diver's neck. This is very important! With the neck
dam turned down, the helmet will vent air from the
neck dam causing the regulator to free flow. This will
make the helmet very uncomfortable.
With the diver holding the helmet, the tender should
now connect the quick disconnect fittings for the
bailout supply. Open the regulator adjustment knob
and the defogger control knob for a steady flow from
both just prior to the diver dressing into the helmet.
The diver should place the helmet face port down
and locate the tab on the end of the chin strap of the
head cushion. Loosen the tab completely. Grab the
base of the helmet with both hands while you hold
the head cushion open. Lift the helmet over your head
and carefully lower it.
Reach up inside the front of the helmet and tighten
the chin strap until it is just snug. The chin strap tight-
ens on the outside of the chin cushion. It does not sit
against the diver's chin directly.
Push your head into the rear of the helmet. Then,
pull the helmet down and from side to side until it
is comfortable on your head. Position the chin strap
under your chin.

Locate the ends of the chin strap before you put the
helmet on your head.
Spread the head cushion so that it is easier to don
the helmet.
Pull the strap down and back towards the divers right
until it is snug, but comfortable. Reach up inside the
helmet and fasten the strap under the divers chin by
attaching it to the Velcro tab on the right side of the
head cushion.
Take care to prevent the end of the strap from becom-
ing fastened between the helmet shell and the neck
dam. Tucking the end into the helmet will ensure this.
In particular, the tender should watch for this. Make
sure the chin strap bolts directly to the helmet. If not,
CAUTION
Be sure to fasten the chin strap. If the
chin strap is not fastened properly, the
helmet will float up on the diver's head.
This can make the helmet very uncom-
fortable.
