Detach the old visor from the rubber frame.
Insert the new visor first in the upper and then the lower half of the
rubber frame.
The central markings on the visor must line up with the seam on

Pull the rubber frame to the right and left over the rim of the visor.
Moisten the outside of the rubber frame and the inside of the
clamping frame with soapy water.
Press on the clamping frame, top half first.

three plastic washers to screw together the mask / helmet
adapters and the visor frame and tighten up until the distance (x)
between the clamping pins is between 3 and 0.5 mm.

Turn the socket wrench around and

diaphragm.
Twist the speech diaphragm loose and remove it.
Use sealing ring extractor R 21 519 to remove the O-ring out of
