Kirby Morgan 77
3.9 Removing the Helmet
To remove the Kirby Morgan helmet, start by pulling out (forward) on each sealed pull pin and turning so each remains in the open position. Tilt your head, and the helmet, forward and swing the locking collar assembly back behind your shoulders.
Tilt your head upright again and push the swinging tongue catch forward with one hand and hold it in this position. Grasp the pull strap and pull down on it, to- wards your back. This will break the seal between the neck dam/neck ring and the helmet neck ring on the base of the helmet. Once the seal is broken the neck ring assembly will come loose from the helmet.
With the locking collar open, you can use the pull strap to break the seal between the neck dam ring and the helmet ring.
Pull the nose block device knob away from your face, loosen the chin strap, and lift the helmet off of your head. A good tender will be prepared to help the diver with the removal of the helmet as required.
Grab the neck ring at the front and use your fingers to gather the neck dam away from your neck in the front. Lift the neck dam over your head.
