7.9.2.1 Quad-Valve™ Exhaust Valve
Replacement
1) Remove the Quad-Valve™ Assembly from the
regulator.
2) Carefully remove the two whisker clamps that hold
the deflector whiskers to the main exhaust body .
To allow access to the two exhaust valves in the
Deflector Whiskers™, you must first remove the two
whisker clamps that hold the whiskers on the exhaust
main body.
NOTE: The exhaust valve and whisker exhaust valve
inserts must be placed into the Quad-Valve exhaust
main body correctly to provide gas flow in the proper
direction. The flow must be from the inside of the
Quad-Valve exhaust main body out to starboard
whisker and port whisker.
The exhaust valve inserts are recessed
on one side to accept the exhaust
valves so they sit flush in the inserts.
The exhaust valves must be installed
properly in the inserts or they will not
seal or perform properly.
The exhaust valve inserts must be in-
stalled in the correct orientation in
exhaust main body. If the inserts are in-
stalled backwards, the diver will be unable
to exhale. This could lead to suffocation
and death.
WARNING
3) Remove the two exhaust valve inserts and valves.
Carefully note which side the valves are installed into
and which way they face when mounted in the body.
They MUST be reinstalled facing the same way. See
the illustrations below.
4) Install a new exhaust valve into each whisker ex-
haust valve insert on the correct side by feeding valve
tail through hole in center of valve insert and pulling
on it until valve is seated.
5) Install an exhaust valve/whisker exhaust valve
insert assembly into both seating areas on each side
of the exhaust main body.
