FACESEAL
DESCRIPTION:
The Face Seal is fabricated from open cell polyfoam with
a Neoprene skin and is glued into the Helmet with wet
suit cement. The Face Seal provides comfortable sup-
port for the diver's face. Clear communications with the
surface personnel results from the diverts ears being sepa-
rated from the noise generated by the Freeflow demand
and exhaust systems, in front of the Face Seal.
REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT:
1. Remove Face Seal being careful not to damage Hel-
met coating.
2. Remove as much of old glue and foam pieces as pos-
sible. Use blunt screwdriver and wire brush.
3. Position Speaker Wires allowing two to lead to rear of
Helmet and one to front.
4. Apply glue to Face Seal. Apply glue in Helmet ap-
proximately 3” wide in Face Seal area and let dry sev-
eral hours.
5. Reapply glue to Face Seal and Helmet area. Let dry
until tacky (approximately 10 minutes).
6. Beginning with forehead, attach Face Seal to Helmet
by slowly pressing down one side at a time, moving to-
ward chin, slightly stretching as you go. (It can be help-
ful to place a piece of paper under opposite side while
working to prevent premature contact).
WARNING: Wet suit glue does release
dangerous fumes which could be hazardous to
the diver. The Helmet should not be used for at
least six (6) hours after gluing.

HEAD HARNESS
DESCRIPTION:
The Head Harness combines the function of a neck strap
and head pad in one adjustable unit. Moving the two
adjustment buttons in the Harness Body will fit a large
or small head. Three adjustment holes for Screw are lo-
cated in the crown of Harness Body. Moving the Screw
and Mount Washer will change the ride (angle) of the
Helmet on the diver's head.
MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
1. To remove head harness remove, Screw and Mount
Washer from crown of Helmet.
2. Remove Neck Bands by unbuttoning from Band But-
ton .
3. Install new Head Harness by attaching crown to Hel-
met with Mount Washer and Screw.
4. Button Neck Bands to Band Button.
CAUTION/WARNING: Pulling the neck
dam over the diver’s head can be difficult. The
neck dam should be powdered if dry. If wet, the
diver should devise a system to get the seal
over his head without excessive force. Stretch-
ing (expanding) the seal and placing part way
over the head can help reduce the force needed
to install the seal. Proper training is necessary
to install the neck seal over the diver’s head and
onto his neck. Although the possibility is very
remote, injury might result if this procedure is
not done properly. If a diver does not know how
to don the neck seal he should seek proper
instruction before proceeding.
WARNING: Never dive with a neck dam
that is too tight. A neck dam that is too tight
could cause the diver to pass out due to pres-
sure on the carotid artery in the neck.

NECK RING
DESCRIPTION:
The Miller Neck Ring consists of two Mating Rings,
fifteen Screws, a chin strap and the Neoprene Neck Seal
Boot. The Neck Seal is conical shaped and is designed
to seal on the diver's neck independent of any type of
diving suit, thus the Helmet may be worn with a wet
suit, coveralls or a bathing suit. The Neck Seal may be
removed and the Neck Ring mated directly to a dry suit
for a very effective combination in cold or contaminated
water.
