3. Slide the rubber sealing gasket over the locking nut.
4. Thread the ABV® body onto the mask. Tighten firmly to ensure that the ABV® does not leak when submerged.
5. Align mounting holes, then using a screw driver, thread the locking screw intothe mounting holes to lock the ABV in place.

Operations Instructions

To operate the ABV®, turn the cap counter-clockwise to open valve. With the cap open, the mask is open to the ambient air. This allows the diver to breathe ambient air, preserving air supply. When ready to dive, simply turn the ABV® cap clockwise to close the cap and breathe from air supply. Ensure that the cap is sealed tightly before diving.

NOTE : Do not overtighten the ABV®! Overtightening the ABV® can cause the cap to become difficult to open.

Maintenance Instructions

Perform the following maintenance steps annually:

1. Remove the ABV® cap by unscrewing stop screw. Rotate the ABV® cap counter-clockwise until the cap is completely removed from the body.
2. Replace the check valve with a new one by pulling the small tab through the valve seat using a pair of needle-nose pliers.
3. Remove check valve from the inner frame and replace with a new valve by pulling the small tab through the valve seat with a pair of needle nose pliers.
4. Ensure that the ABV® is free from dirt and debris. Reassemble the ABV® and test for leaks. The ABV® is now maintained and ready to dive.
