found on the mask-flange near the 2nd
stage mount portion.
In the worst case, there is a possibility that the 2nd stage is disengaged during
use.
STEP2 Attach to breathing device
1) Attach low pressure hose to LP port of 1st stage or LP
port with Hooker equipment. ※Clamping torque 4.9Nm
2) If 1st stage is in use, attach 1st stage to high pressure
tank.
※For details, refer to 1st
stage instruction booklet.

with 2nd stage.
Basic Technique Take out fog (Optional)
It is possible to take out fog from inside of lens.
1) Turn adjustment knob with defroster device to open
and let air come out.
CAUTION Turn knob gently. If not, air suddenly

Operation of the breathing port valve (Optional)
It is possible to breathe outside air by using snorkel when
waiting to dive and moving on the surface of water. 1) When waiting and moving on the surface of water,
turn knob for snorkel to open (counter-clockwise)
2) When diving
Turn knob for snorkel to close (clockwise).
WARNING Be sure knob for snorkel is in closed
position before diving.
Operation of Temple Breathing Valve(Temple breathing valve mounted models
only)
During dive preparation or stand-by on board a ship or land, breathing the
outside air is possible by releasing the temple breathing valve. Breathing the
outside air via the temple valve is effective to defog the mask lenses.
1) During Dive Preparation or Stand-by on Board or Land
Turn the temple breathing valve counter-clockwise to open the breathing
port.
The air flow rate is relatively low due to the valve structural limitation. Do not
attempt to turn the valve beyond the full open end position. It may damage
the valve structure.
2) When Diving
Turn the temple breathing valve clockwise to close the
breathing port.
Do not too tighten the valve. It will make the valve hard
to open.
WARNING Make sure to close the valve before
dive. WARNING Do not open the valve underwater.

Ear care
Nose can be picked over mask, ear can be cared by same procedure for
ordinary mask.
1) Supply air to inner ear by picking nose over mask
and breathing during diving.
WARNING If not to do so, eardrum may be broken.
It is important to repeat before ear hurt
during diving.
WARNING Stop diving in case of not relieving pain
due to health condition.
Mask replacement in water
Since full face mask is different from ordinary mask and is connected with
regulator, replace it on site to avoid serious accident in case of breakage of
regulator. Always carry extra mask & regulator as replacement. Do enough
practice in advance as needed speedy replacement in water.
1) Remove buckle and grasp underneath of mask by both hand. Then pull to
upper front and take out from face.
2) Hang removed mask with arm so as not to be disturbed.
3) Change to ordinary regulator after clearing and fix breathing.
4) Take mask for replacement and wear after clearing.
DANGER It is impossible to dive safely by just reading this manual.
Do enough practice with instructor before diving.

●Rinse in running water to remove any remaining salt and sands around the
buckle & valve
●After removing all excess water, place in a well ventilated, shady area to dry.
CAUTION Never clean it with gasoline, thinner, alcohol of other organic
solutions or a neutral detergent. As doing so,it could cause the
luster to fade, result in cracks.
HOW TO STORAGE & HANDLE
●When storing and handling the mask, take care to protect the lenses from
breakage and scratches.
●Parts of the mask may deteriorate under the sunlight and the fluorescent lamp
for a long time.
●Do not storage in the place under high temperature & humid. Storage in a well
ventilated place.
●Storage without any pressure toward to specific portion of the mask.
●During storing, the powder colored white may cause on the surface of the
mask. As it is caused by the oil inside the mask, it may be used since it will
