Always remember to install the pod gasket between the pod and the helmet.

7.14.3 Oral/Nasal Replacement
1) Install the oral/nasal valve body and valve in the
oral/nasal mask. This valve helps to reduce carbon
dioxide in the helmet and must be in place. Make sure
it is installed so the flow is in the proper direction.
See the drawing and photo on this page.
2) Snap the oral/nasal over the regulator mount nut.
There is a tight fit between the mask and the pod at
the top of the pod. Take extra care to make sure the
mask has snapped in position all the way around the
mount nut.
3) Reinstall the microphone.
4) Reinstall the nose block device. See Chapter 8 for
complete instructions on reinstalling the nose block
device.

Torque screwdriver with flat blade attachment

1) Install the gasket on the pod. Make sure that the
ridge on the gasket is properly seated in the groove
in the pod.
2) Install all of the Allen screws and washers through
the pod and gasket, with the exception of the bottom
two. The screws will help to align the pod and gasket
to the helmet. Note: Pass all of these screws through
the gasket slowly so as not to damage the hole in the
gasket with possible sharp edges of the thread.
Remember that the two long bolts are installed in
the top two holes of the pod, between the top of the
regulator cover and the port retainer.
