9 MSL 72.140 Jetsam/Explorer R.1
COUNTERLUNG
CASE
&
KISS
WING
The
new
Explorer
counterlung
case
ships
with
the
front
plate
attached,
and
the
wing
NOT
attached.
You
will
notice
that
without
the
wing
attached,
the
plate
is
secured
in
the
four
outer
corners
with
screw
sets.
Also,
the
top
centre
screw
has
a
spacer
in
between
the
spine
and
the
back
of
the
front
plate.
This
spacer
and
the
4
screw
sets
are
NOT
required
when
diving
with
the
KISS
wing.
As
the
KISS
wing
sits
between
the
front
plate
and
back
box,
the
plate
will
sit
snugly
and
their
will
be
no
gapping
in
between
the
parts.
The
corner
screw
sets
are
used
to
take
up
the
gapping
if
the
case
is
dived
without
the
wing.
Those
diving
without
the
wing,
may
choose
not
to
use
the
corner
screw
sets,
but
add
a
third
spine
screw
at
the
bottom.
Or
as
your
wing
attaches
with
a
screw
in
this
area
anyway,
it
would
also
be
sufficient.
The
choice
is
really
the
divers;
the
screw
sets
are
included
for
those
who
wish
to
use
them.
Please
see
the
next
page
for
more
information
on
the
corner
screw
sets.
The
spacer
(black
plastic
washer)
which
is
located
in
between
the
spine
and
the
plate,
at
the
top
is
also
optional.
It
is
there
to
remind
you
to
NOT
over
tighten
that
top
(or
bottom
screw,
if
used)
all
the
way
down,
if
the
KISS
wing
is
not
used.
If
you
choose
to
not
use
this
washer,
or
if
you
lose
it,
just
don’t
tighten
the
screw
down
all
the
way.
Leave
a
small
gap.
If
the
screw
is
tightened
down
all
the
way,
it
will
put
stress
on
the
case.
The
KISS
Explorer
counterlung
case
attaches
to
the
scrubber
head
in
the
same
manner
of
the
Classic
KISS;
with
two,
2-inch
flat
head
screws.
For
those
upgrading
older
Classic
KISS
units,
the
existing
screws
can
be
used.
If
for
some
reason,
new
screws
are
required
to
complete
the
upgrade,
they
should
be
or-
dered
with
the
case.
When
swapping
cases,
do
not
forget
to
insert
the
spacer
between
the
head
and
the
case.
New
units
ship
with
everything
in
place.
After
attaching
the
back
part
of
the
counterlung
case
to
the
scrubber
head,
the
various
fittings
can
be
reattached
to
the
head.
Again,
those
buying
a
new
Explorer
will
find
everything
attached.
At
this
point,
the
counterlungs
can
be
attached
to
the
unit.
Please
see
the
Classic
KISS
manual
for
proper
CL
insertion
instructions.
The
next
step
would
be
to
attach
the
custom
KISS
wing
and
front
plate.
The
wing
is
situated
between
the
back
part
of
the
counter-
lung
case
and
the
front
plate,
This
positioning
keeps
the
Explorer
very
tight
to
the
divers
back
and
provides
a
low
profile.
As
this
wing
was
designed
for
the
KISS
Explorer,
it
best
provides
lift
where
re-
quired
and
has
excellent
trim.
It
has
a
360
degree
donut
style
blad-
der
assembly
and
maximum
lift
is
approximately
40
lb.
Tightening
the
bungees
will
lower
the
profile
and
reduce
the
lift.
To
attach
the
KISS
wing,
you
will
need
the
4
barrel
nuts
which
are
part
of
the
package.
Position
the
wing
so
that
the
inflator
and
the
dump
valve
are
on
the
right
side.
The
top
of
the
wing
is
narrower
than
the
bottom.
The
top
also
has
a
tab
in
the
middle
of
the
top
portion.
See
photo
to
the
right.
This
side
is
also
the
side
which
should
be
facing
you
when
the
wing
is
attached.
