The exhaust valves must be co rrectly

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.

WARNING

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 par ting 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 overt ighten.

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 a rea of the body under the

valve could be slightly bent out resu lting in the valve

not sealing.

If the exhaust valve is high and not sealing, lightly

press i n 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 Exha ust Valve seating area

should be free of dirt an d corrosion to insure the

valve can l ay ﬂ at and seal properly. NEVER lubricate

the valve.

1. Remove the regulator clamp screw and clamp.

3. Remove t he 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 need le nose pliers) from t he 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 openi ng 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.
