II. WARRANTY INFORMATIONThe manufacturer warrants every new helmet to be free from defects in workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days from date of purchase.
Parts covered under the warranty:
• This warranty covers all metal parts.
Parts NoT covered under the warranty:
• This warranty does not cover any rubber parts, communications components, headliners, or chrome plating. Due to the electrolytic nature of underwater cutting and welding, chrome plating cannot be warranted when the diver engages in these activities.
The warranty becomes null and void if:
The product has been modified without consent of Aqua Lung America, Inc.•
The product has been misused, damaged, put into a situation or service for which the •product is not intended or if the product has not been correctly maintained according to the G2000SS Diving Helmet Technical Manual.
WARNING:
Supply pressure below 140 PSI OBP may lead to CO2 buildup inside • the helmet.Supply pressure above 200 PSI OBP will cause the regulator to free flow.•
WARNING: The G2000SS diving helmet is not cleaned or lubricated for oxygen service.
CAUTION: The helmet should not be used for contaminated water diving (CWD) when only a single exhaust is fitted. A double exhaust adapter kit is available for CWD. When used for CWD with double exhaust fitted, the free flow valve must be open and properly adjusted at all times throughout the dive, as posi-tive pressure inside helmet must be maintained.
I. SAFETY INFORMATIONTHE G2000SS DIVING HELMET SHOULD BE USED BY CERTIFIED AND PROPERLY TRAINED DIVERS ONLY.
NoTe: Recommended air supply pressure 140 - 170 PSI Over Bottom Pressure (OBP).

III. HELMET SET-UP AND OPERATIONSET-UP PROCEDURES
Testing the Check Valves : The helmet is equipped with two check valves, one for main air and the other for emergency air. Each check valve should be checked prior to connecting a hose. To check each check valve, the free flow valve must be open and air must be pulled from the check valve to verify that it is closed. The hoses can be attached only after verifying that the check valves are properly functioning.Testing the Emergency Gas Supply (EGS) : After the diver has verified a proper seal of the helmet on his head and the main air is bled from the hose, the diver must turn his emergency (bailout) cylinder valve on and use the bailout regulator to breathe inside the helmet. The emergency cylinder valve must then be shut, leaving the hose pressurized. The EGS must ALWAYS be turned “off” at the cylinder valve while diving.
Depth OBP0 – 60 fsw (0 - 18.3 msw) 90 psig (6.2 bar)
61 – 100 fsw (18.6 – 30.5 msw) 115 psig (7.9 bar)101 – 132 fsw (30.8 – 40.2 msw) 135 psig (9.3 bar)133 – 165 fsw (40.6 – 50.3 msw) 165 psig (11.4 bar)166 – 220 fsw (50.5 – 67.1 msw) 200 psig (13.8 bar)
NoTe: If the above OBP cannot be supplied, the diver must reduce his workload to •avoid exhaustion. The second stage regulator and manifold have a maximum design pressure of •225 psig (15.5 bar) over-bottom.
Required over-bottom pressures for depth:

IV. HELMET MAINTENANCE & PARTS LISTS
IMPORTANT NOTES
This manual provides factory prescribed procedures for the correct service and repair of the G2000SS diving helmet. It is strongly recommended that all repairs are completed in accordance with this manual.
The procedures outlined within this manual are to be performed only by personnel who have received factory authorized training through an Aqua Lung Service and Repair Seminar.
If you do not completely understand all of the procedures outlined in this manual, contact Aqua Lung to speak directly with a Technical Advisor before proceeding any further.
SCHEDULED SERVICE
1. The G2000SS diving helmet is subject to annual service regardless of usage.
2. The Annual Inspection and Maintenance Checklist must be followed for annual service. See Checklist 6 for details of annual service.
3. The Annual Service Kit (P/N 400108) contains all parts that are replaced annually. See Appendix T for details of this kit.
LUBRICATION
Helmets used for air diving or diving with gas containing oxygen percentages less than 40% may be lubricated with Christo-Lube® MCG 111, Dow Corning® 111 or equivalent.
All o-rings must be lubricated prior to assembly.
CAUTION: DO NOT lubricate diaphragms or one-way valves. Lubricating attracts dirt and debris, this may cause the item to malfunction.
COMPONENT INTERCHANGEABILITY
The G2000SS diving helmet is designed specifically so that all new or modified assemblies are interchangeable with, and may be retrofitted to, all existing helmets. This enhances product support. Certain step-by-step procedures in this manual show older assemblies – this demonstrates component interchangeability and makes no difference to helmet performance or functionality.

HELMET MAINTENANCE & PARTS LISTS (continued)
GENERAL GUIDELINES
In order to correctly perform the procedures outlined in this manual, it is important to follow 1. each step exactly in the order given. Read over the entire manual to become familiar with all procedures before attempting to service or repair the G2000SS diving helmet.
Keep the manual open beside you for reference while performing each procedure. Do not rely 2. on memory.
All service and repair should be carried out in a work area specifically set up and equipped for 3. the task. Adequate lighting, cleanliness, and easy access to all required tools are essential for an efficient repair facility.
As each unit is disassembled, reusable components should be segregated and not allowed to 4. intermix with non-reusable parts. Delicate parts, including inlet fittings and crowns which contain critical sealing surfaces, must be protected and isolated form other parts to prevent damage during the cleaning procedure.
Use only genuine Aqua Lung parts provided in the service kits. DO NOT attempt to5. substitute any part with another manufacturer's, regardless of any similarity in shape or size. Substitution with other manufacturer's parts constitutes an after-market modification of the product and renders all warranties null and void.
Do not attempt to reuse mandatory replacement parts under any circumstance, regardless of the 6. amount of use the product has received since it was manufactured or last serviced.

CAUTION: Silicone rubber requires no lubrication or preservative treatment. DO NOT apply grease or spray to silicone rubber parts. Doing so may cause a chemical breakdown and premature deterioration of the material.
CAUTION: Do not use muriatic acid for the cleaning of any parts. Even if strongly diluted, muriatic acid can harm chrome plating and may leave a residue that is harm-ful to o-ring seals and other parts.
APPENDIX RRECOMMENDED CLEANERS AND LUBRICANTS
54 Gorski G2000SS Diving Helmet Technical Manual
APPENDIX S CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
Cleaning Brass and Stainless Steel Parts
1. If required, pre-clean in warm, soapy water* using a nylon bristle tooth brush.
2. Thoroughly clean parts in an ultrasonic cleaner filled with a solution of household white distilled vinegar (acetic acid) mixed with fresh water (max 50% vinegar). Clean ultrasonically for 5 minutes (max 10 minutes). DO NOT place plastic, rubber, silicone or anodized aluminium parts in vinegar.
3. Remove parts from the ultrasonic cleaner and rinse with fresh water. If tap water is extremely “hard,” place the parts in a bath of distilled water to prevent any mineral residue. Agitate lightly, and allow to soak for 5-10 minutes. Remove and blow dry with low pressure 25 PSI (1.7 BAR) filtered air. Inspect closely to ensure proper cleaning and like-new condition.
Cleaning Plastic & Rubber PartsParts made of plastic or rubber may be soaked and cleaned in a solution of warm water mixed with mild dish soap. Use only a soft nylon toothbrush to scrub away any deposits. Rinse in fresh water and thoroughly blow dry, using low pressure filtered air.
Lubrication and Dressing
All o-rings should be lubricated with Christo-Lube® MCG 111 or Dow Corning® 111. Dress the o-rings with a very light film of grease, and remove any visible excess by running the o-ring between thumb and forefinger. Avoid applying excessive amounts of Christo-Lube grease, as this will attract particulate matter that may cause damage to the o-ring.
*Soapy water is defined as “household” grade liquid dishwashing detergent diluted in warm water.
CAUTION: Do not place plastic and rubber parts in acid solutions. Doing so may alter the physical properties of the component, causing it to prematurely degrade and/or break.
