Kirby 37 appendix Whiskers must be aligned properly on the exhaust main body

Kirby Morgan 37 & 57

WARNING

The exhaust valves must be correctly installed in the exhaust valve inserts or they will not seal correctly. This could lead to a backflow of water into the hel- met, which could expose the diver to any contaminants that are in the surrounding water. Depending on the contaminants, this could lead to serious personal injury or death.

6)Slide the starboard whisker onto the starboard side of the main body, making sure that you do not dis- lodge the exhaust valve/whisker exhaust valve insert assembly from its seating area. The parting line on the bottom of the exhaust whiskers should be 5/16” behind the parting line on the main body.

7)Repeat this procedure for the port side.

8)Place whisker clamps around the grooves on each of the two whiskers. Before doing the final tightening of the clamps, make sure that parting line on bot- tom of wings is 5/16” behind the parting line on the main body, and the clamps are positioned properly on the body.

The correct orientation of the whiskers relative to the exhaust main body are as shown in the photo here. Tighten the screws that hold the clamps until the screws are snug. The threaded ends of the screws should be at least flush with the outer edge of the nut that holds them. Do not overtighten.

The whiskers must be aligned properly on the exhaust main body.

Regulator Exhaust Valve

Replacement

Before removing the regulator exhaust valve, care- fully inspect the area around the edges to assure the rubber exhaust valve is in contact with the regulator body. The metal cross area of the body under the valve could be slightly bent out resulting in the valve not sealing.

If the exhaust valve is high and not sealing, lightly press in on the metal cross, bending the metal in slightly until the rubber valve seats. Remove the existing regulator exhaust valve by pulling it out of its mount hole. If the valve tears, make sure that it is removed without any valve material left inside the regulator.

NOTE: Before installing the new Valve, ensure that the spokes that hold the exhaust Valve are smooth, even and not bent. The Exhaust Valve seating area should be free of dirt and corrosion to insure the valve can lay flat and seal properly. NEVER lubricate the valve.

1.Remove the regulator clamp screw and clamp.

3.Remove the regulator cover and the diaphragm.

4.Install the new regulator exhaust valve by plac- ing the stem of the valve in through the hole in the hub of the spokes from the outside of the regulator. Gently, (using needle nose pliers) from the inside of the regulator, pull the stem of the valve through the hole in the hub of the spokes until it pops into its seating area.

5.Reinstall the diaphragm, regulator cover, clamp and clamp screw.

7.9.3 Quad-Valve™ Assembly Installation

1.The Quad-Valve™ Main Body opening mates to the regulator exhaust flange. This opening needs to be worked onto the flange. Make sure that the Quad- Valve exhaust system is facing the correct direction and is not upside down.

2.Place the tie wrap around the tie wrap groove and tighten, making sure that the tie wrap end is positioned properly. Cut off the excess tie wrap tail.

3)Reinstall the regulator/exhaust assembly on the helmet.
