No maintenance is required on either of the fresh-air vents. A damaged vent is
replaceable provided the fuselage skin is undamaged. The friction is adjusted using the
attachment screw and nut. Tightening the nut will increase the friction and loosening
will decrease it. Periodic adjustment may be required to provide enough friction that it
stays in the selected position in flight, but is easy to move by hand.
