Checking the WristDam for

a Proper Fit

You want to try on the gloves first

(when they are not attached to a

drysuit) to ensure you have a

proper fit. A proper fit means the

WristDam is snug enough to keep

water out yet allows air to flow

underneath it when the hand is

flexed.

1.With the gloves not attached to a

drysuit, put on a liner.

2. Bring your fingers together in a

pointed cone and put them through

the WristDam on the ZipGlove-

WD.

3. Position the glove on the hand.

Make sure the liner does not lie

under any portion of the WristDam.

The WristDam should be positioned

at the small of the wrist.

Checking the WristDam for

Proper Function

While putting the glove on, excess

air will become trapped in the

glove.You will notice this when you

close your hand making a fist, the

glove will balloon. If the WristDam

is properly trimmed, the glove will

vent the excess air when the hand is

closed into a fist and the wrist is

flexed.

If the WristDam is too loose, the

glove will not trap the air and could

allow water to leak into the drysuit

if the glove is punctured. No

ballooning is noted when the hand

is closed into a fist.

If a WristDam is too tight, the glove

will not properly vent air when the

hand is closed into a fist and the

wrist is flexed. A seal that is too

tight can restrict blood flow to the

hands. Additional trimming may be

required if the WristDam is too

tight.

Installing ZipGloves-WD

Installation of the ZipGloves-WD is

the same as installing ZipGloves.

REMEMBER: Before diving, ALWAYS

check that your ZipRings are locked in

place.

HINT: Do not let anything come

between the WristDam and the wrist.

Clothing can cause leaking and/or

flooding should the glove become

damaged.

Before using other makes of gloves as

a liner, check that they do not interfere

with the function of the WristDam.

Putting on a Drysuit with

ZipGloves-WD Installed

1. Put on the drysuit as outlined in

the DUI Drysuit Owner's Manual.

2. Put on liners before putting your

arms into the drysuit sleeve. It is

best to hold the thumb loop on the

divewear insulation between the

thumb and index finger and release

it as soon as your fingers touch the

WristDam.This keeps the divewear

insulation thumb loops from getting

under the WristDam and rendering

them ineffective.

3. Bring your fingers together in a

pointed cone and put them through

the WristDam on the ZipGlove.

4.To get the WristDam in the

correct position on the wrist, push

the wrist ZipRing down towards the

hand to insure that the WristDam is

at the small of the wrist.

5. Check the WristDam for proper

sealing and venting by closing the

hand into a fist.When you do this,

the glove should balloon. Check that

the air can be vented from the glove

by flexing the wrist (bring it toward

you) while the hand is still in a fist.

The air should vent into the drysuit

sleeve. If the glove does not balloon

when the hand is closed into a fist,

something is interfering with the

WristDam sealing.The glove should

be removed and put on again.

6. Secure the wrist straps. Do not

over tighten as this could restrict

blood flow.

7. Repeat the process with the

other arm/hand.

Diving with ZipGloves-WD

1. During the descent or during the

dive, gas can be added to the gloves

by simply raising your hand above

the high point in the suit - above

the exhaust valve.You may need to

close your hand and flex your wrist

to get them to inflate slightly.

2.To vent gas from the gloves simply

place the hands lower than the suit

exhaust valve.You may need to

close the hand and flex the wrist

inward.

3. If for some reason you are

experiencing difficulty getting gas to

move between the glove and the

drysuit, you can position the glove

low or high as needed and, with

your other hand, pinch the ZipGlove

and pull the ZipRing away from the

wrist.This will open a path between

the glove and drysuit allowing air

into or out of the ZipGlove-WD.

ZipGlove & ZipGlove-WD

Maintenance

1. After diving, rinse the exterior of

the glove with fresh water along

with the rest of the drysuit.

2. If any moisture got into the glove

(i.e. puncture or perspiration),

remove the gloves to ensure that

the inside of the gloves dry

completely.

ZipGlove & ZipGlove-WD

Repair

leak in your glove:

1. Remove the glove from your

drysuit.

2.Turn the glove inside out and fill

with water.

3.Water will drip from the hole.

4. Mark a 1" diameter circle around

the hole.

5. Allow to dry completely.

6. Apply AquaSeal to this 1" area.

Follow the instructions provided by

AquaSeal.

7. Allow to dry completely.
