3. Remove the clamping ring, slip ring and support plate.
4. Pull the mask connector out of the mask body.
5. Fit the new mask connector with speech diaphragm and inhalation
and exhalation valves and insert the connector such that the
centre markings of the mask connector and mask body coincide.
6. Fit the slip ring and new clamping ring. Attach the hook to ensure
the tightest possible fit of the clamping ring.
7. Push the support plate between the clamping ring and the slip ring;
fit it into the lower visor frame and align it.
8. Compress the nose of the clamping ring with pliers until the mask
connector is securely located in the mask body.

pull it towards the visor until the undercut of the stud is visible. The
valve disc must make even contact with the inside surface.

Leak tests

Perform the leak test with a suitable test unit (e.g. from the Testor or
Quaestor series).
(1) Checking leak tightness
1. Moisten the face seal and exhalation valve with water.
2. Mount the full face mask to the test head.
3. Make sure that the face seal fits tightly onto all parts of the test
head. Inflate the test head, if necessary.
4. Seal the connector with the adapter and produce a negative
pressure of 10 mbar.
The facepiece is considered leak-tight if the pressure drop is less than
1 mbar/min. If the full face mask leaks, continue with (2).
