Question
Leakage occur during dive. What to do?

Troubleshooting
- Make sure that you have joined the rings (Quick Glove Ring and Docking Ring*) together correct and all around.
  If the rings are misaligned; disassemble and don again.
- Check for dirt and debris on all internal surfaces.
- Check the condition of the O-ring and that the O-ring is correctly mounted.
- Check for scratches in the O-ring groove.
- Check if the inner glove (liner) is stuck between the Quick Glove Ring and the Docking Ring*.
- Lubricate with hard wax (SI TECH item no. 61357). Don´t use soft lubricant! Don´t lubricate the O-ring,
  lubricate the surface that the O-ring will seal against.
- Make sure that you join the rings (Quick Glove Ring and Docking Ring*) little by little evenly around the system.
  Make sure the rings stay parallel when squeezing. (Don´t press one side first and then the other side - you may
  squeeze the O-ring out of its groove.)
- Check the system before dive. After donning the system; turn the Release Ring a quarter turn and back again.
  Check if you can see the O-ring. If you can´t see the O-ring; press the rings together and dive. If you can see
  the O-ring; doff the system, place the O-ring in its groove again and don.
