ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONSThe Quick Connect collar features 2 grooves, one inside and one outside the suit. If the collaris to be used with a neck seal only, then the neck seal should be fitted to the groove on theoutside of the collar.If the Quick Connect collar is to be used with a neck seal and a hood, then the neck sealshould be fitted to the inside groove, and the hood fitted into the outside groove.ASSEMBLY OF LATEX NECK SEAL ONLYOpen the zip to expose the inside of the suit. Lay the suit so that the QC collar is flat to thetable, as pressure will need to be applied. The seal will be fitted so that the shiny surface willappear to the outside of the suit and the sizing rings are to the inside of the seal. Lay theneck seal on the ring and start to push the locking ring into the seal and down into thegroove, starting at the cut-out in the ring. Use the rounded end of the tool to push thelocking ring and seal into the groove. Try to keep the amount of seal that you are insertinginto the groove as even as possible. Ensure that the locking ring is pushed fully into thegroove.Once the neck seal is fully in place, turn the suit the right way round and attempt to pull thelatex seal to ensure that it is fully locked into place. If the seal moves, then repeat the fittingprocedure until you are sure that the seal and ring are locked into place.Trelleborg Protective Products ABJohan Kocksgatan 10, SE-231 81 Trelleborg, SwedenTel: +46 (0)410-510 00, Fax: +46 (0)410-518 50, E-mail: protective@trelleborg.comwww.trelleborg.com/protective | www.trelleborg.com/trellchem | www.trelleborg.com/vikingdivingEdition 100803
