knob.

NOTE: Adapter sleeves remain away from the shrouds until the bent tube is properly installed per helmet
manual guidelines. The adapter sleeves can be moved away from either end while securing each end of the
bent tube, however, they must remain on the bent tube.
15) Once the bent tube is secured and torqued to the correct values, insert the adapter sleeves into the pro-
spective locations, long adapter sleeve into the side block end and the short adaptor sleeve into the regula-
tor inlet side.
16) Line up the detail features of water tubes A & B, with the mating details of both adapter sleeves.
Water ow arrow is found on the A tube and should be positioned farthest away from the helmet (on the
outside)

17) Use the three wider tie wraps P/N 520-039 (repre-
sented by the purple color in the photo) to secure the
two tubes together, one in the middle and one on each
of the leading edges of the tube. Little to no gap should
be evident between the two tubes.
18) Using two narrower tie wraps, P/N 520-049, (repre-
sented by the yellow color in the photo), secure both the
side block and regulator shrouds to the sleeves.
Regulator Shroud
19) Align the access cover, P/N 510-733, to the regulator shroud
P/N 510-723, as shown and install the pin, P/N 550-644, until it
is evenly located into the area of the regulator shroud where it
will remain.
20) Close the access cover and secure by pushing over the bishop pins. Make sure the regulator shroud and
access cover line up correctly and no part is pinched or tucked.
Generally between one–two gallons per minute of water ow is plenty to heat the incoming gas or to keep
the interior clean of debris without interfering with the regulator diaphragm.
