19 MSL 72.161 Jetsam/Orca Spirit manual R.5
*SERVICE: THE O‐RINGS ON THE HOSE STUBS AND THE CORRESPONDING SURFACES ON THE
BOV ADAPTERS AND HOSE ATTACHMENTS SHOULD BE LUBRICATED ON A REGULAR BASIS.
PRIOR TO DIVING, ENSURE THAT HOSES HAVE BEEN PROPERLY ATTACHED TO THE TOWERS
AND TO THE BOV!!! FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH!!!
Manual Add Valve ‐ MAV:
The MAV is the component that will add oxygen to your unit con nuously and will also allow you to push a bu on to
add gas as required.
Further on in this manual you will find a MAV trouble shoo ng & service sec on. For the purpose of gear assembly, the
valve is ready to go. Once the unit is assembled and the wing/harness system in place, bring the MAV over the right
shoulder of the harness and thread it through the D‐ring. Alterna vely, you may use a small bungee loop which is ed
to the D‐ring and slide the MAV through that. Securing the MAV in this manner will keep the valve in the proper posi‐
on allowing the diver to find it easily.
An alternated method of placing your MAV is to have it come around the right side of your waist, and then secure the
MAV to a ring on your waist strap using bungee and a clip. The diver must be certain that the MAV is properly secured
and is easily accessible during any part of the dive. This method is for those who do not wish the hoses to come over
the shoulder.
For those that wish to run the MAV around the waist, simply swap the posi on of the 2 oxygen hoses. To do this, first
remove the shortest LP hose from the MAV and filter. Leave the filter secured to the MAV. It is very important that
one wrench is placed on the nut closest to the plas c housing to hold it in place; it must not move! Then put another
wrench on the end of the LP hose you wish to remove. Turn this wrench while holding the first wrench secure. The nut
you are holding secure must not spin. If it does the threads on the plas c housing will be stripped. Once this is done,
the short hose will s ll be secured to the scrubber head, but the MAV will no longer be a ached to it. Remove this LP
hose from the head.
Remove the longer LP hose from the MAV, following the above instruc ons. Then remove it from the first stage.
Swap the posi on of the LP hoses; the longer one should now be secured to the scrubber head (turn the elbow so it is
facing down), and the shorter LP hose should be secured to the first stage.
The shorter LP hose from the first stage should now be a ached to the filter on the MAV. Be certain to secure it to this
port, as it is important that the incoming gas is filtered. The Longer LP hose from the scrubber head should now be
a ached to the other port on the MAV, (no filter port). Follow the same instruc ons as above to properly ghten the
hoses. A wrench must be placed on the nut closest to the plas c housing to hold it secure while you ghten the hose
fi ng. Please see the MAV trouble shoo ng and service sec on for photos and more instruc ons. If in doubt, please
call KISS for advice.
Diluent Cylinder and the Off‐Board Gas Accessory:
The diluent cylinder on the KISS OS is side mounted and doubles as the diver’s bailout gas. In this configuration the
diluent cylinder is referred to as off board diluent gas as the cylinder is not secured to the main rebreather. The ad‐
vantages of this are that diver’s may customize the system to suit their diving needs. It also keeps the main rebreather
small, light, flexible, and easy to travel with.
KISS recommends that a minimum of 40 cuft should be used as the diluent/bailout cylinder when diving recreationally.
Diver’s must be certain that the cylinder they choose has the proper amount of gas for diluent, wing & drysuit inflation,
