WARNING
KMDSI strongly recommends the utiliza-
tion of the safety pin, Part # 535-900. This
pin is inserted just below the cam-lock
bail.
If a safety pin is not used, there is a possi-
bility the clamp on the yoke latching sys-
tem could be inadvertently opened during
the course of the dive by unintentional
depression of the plunger lock. Helmet
flooding, drowning and death may result.
NOTE: KMDSI recommends that all old style "push
style" pin latch catch assemblies be replaced with
new Pull Pin Latch Catch part# 505-010. The old
push pin latch catch assemblies are no longer avail-
able nor are replacement parts.
Additionally the pull type latch catch should also
employ the use of the safety pin to avert accidental
opening of the latch catch during diving operations.
(Additional guidance is available by contacting Dive
Lab Inc. at (850) 235-2715 or E-Mail DiveLab@
aol.com.)
NOTE: If you are ready to dive, ensure the tender
installs the safety pin before you enter the water.
While maintaining pressure on both the helmet and
the clamp, swing the clamp handle to the diver's left
until it passes "over-center" and closes. Open the
latch catch assembly by pulling out on the pull pin.
Lift up on the yoke assembly until the latch catch en-
gages the bail on the neck clamp handle, and release
the pull pin. The spring loaded pull pin should bottom
in the latch catch assembly capturing the handle bail.
The helmet is now locked into place and the diver
can test the breathing system properly.
If used, the yoke strap is now placed over the top
of the helmet (but under the handle) and secured in
place. The yoke strap is standard on all 17B helmets
shipping after January 2004. It's use is strongly rec-
ommended.

The yoke strap is positioned underneath the handle
on the helmet.
The loop on the adjustable end of the strap slides over
the yoke on the diver's right side. Tighten the yoke
strap by pulling down on the free end to help ensure
the helmet stays on properly.
