Tighten all the screws to 10 inch pounds (1.12
Newton Meters) of torque.
Trim the excess neoprene using a sharp razor.
plained.
13) Install the pull strap assembly as per Section 8.7.2.
14) Tighten all the screws to 10 inch lbs (1.12 New-
ton Meters).
15) Allow the neck ring assembly to sit for 24 hours.
This will give the neoprene time to compress and
take a set.
16) Re-torque all screws after 24 hours to 10 inch lbs
(1.12 Newton Meters).
17) Trim the excess neoprene that sticks out beyond
the stepped ring. Use a sharp razor to start the cut.
Once the cut is started, pull on the neoprene and
maintain tension on it as you continue cutting. The
cutting edge of the blade should follow the outside
rim of the split rings. The point of the blade should
be directed inside against the corner where the top
of the stepped ring meets the step. You must have a
clean cut with no loose strips of neoprene hanging
from the neck dam that could interfere with the seal
of the O-ring.
18) Check the torque adjustment on the neck ring
assembly on a regular basis to help prevent failure
of the neck seal.
19) New neoprene neck dams may need to be stretched
to fit the diver's neck properly. The best method is
to stretch the neck dam over a SCUBA cylinder and
allow it to sit overnight.
