The diaphragm is simple to check. Open the cover and pull the assembly out. It should be fairly flat, and not damaged.
You may need to look quite closely for small tears or holes. Some mes holding it up to the light and gently pulling the
rubber will help.
HAVING SAID THAT THE DIAPHRAGM IS EASY TO CHECK, IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT IF YOU ARE NOT HAVING A
PROBLEM WITH THE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY, DO NOT DISSEMBLE IT. WITH PROPER USE, THE DIAPHRAGM WILL LAST
FOR YEARS IF NOT DISTURBED.
*NOTE: A damaged ADV assembly will either deliver too much diluent gas, or none at all.
*NOTE: It is important that the proper installa on procedures are followed for the ADV as‐
sembly and diaphragm; the direc ons are on the following page. The exhaust valve is a key
component of the KISS diving system; care should be taken that it is not damaged and
properly maintained.
ADV IS DIFFICULT TO TRIGGER
The posi on of the diver will effect the ADV. If the diver is horizontal or face down, the ADV will trigger easily. If the
diver is ver cal, then it will be a bit harder. (A well fi ng harness is important; this will greatly reduce the difficul es of
being ver cal in the water). Also, rolling to your right side, while horizontal, will assist in triggering the ADV.
If preferred, diluent can be added via the mouthpiece. Turn the knob about a 1/4 inch and diluent gas should flow into
the loop. Depending on where your IP is set, and which second stage you are using, you may need to lightly hit the
purge bu on.
Lastly, check the IP on the diluent first stage. Ensure that it is in the correct range. Remember, the ADV is not meant
to be easy to trigger. It was designed this way so that the diver would know when they were triggering it. If it was too
easy, then diluent gas could be fed into the breathing loop without the diver being aware of what was happening.
