There is a washer on each side of the pod; the
thinner
washer is used on the
outside
of the pod
and the
thicker
washer on the
inside
of the pod.
3. Thread all the allen screws and washers
through the pod and gasket,
with the exception
of the bottom two, do not insert the two bottom
screws.
The screws will help to align the pod and
gasket to the helmet.
4. Mate the pod to the helmet shell.
5. Install the remaining two bottom screws,
washers and nuts. Run all the nuts up until they
are finger tight.
Except the two bottom screws
all of the nuts are positioned on the inside of the
pod.
6. Using the hex key and/or wrench along with
the nut driver, tighten the nuts gradually in a
staggered pattern. The lock nuts should be
tightened to the point where the gasket can be
seen just barely starting to extrude out (squeeze
out) from between the pod and shell.
