Thediver,YOU,hasthefinalresponsibilityforhisorherownsafetyandaconswhileusing
this rebreather.  All components of the KISS OS must be in good working order and be

BOV‐BAILOUTVALVE

TheBOV,orrebreathermouthpiece,isakeycomponentontheKISSOSdivingsystem.Shoulddiverschoosetosource
theirownBOV,itisextremelyimportantthattheychooseaproductfromareputablecompanyandthatitcomesfied
withabailout2ndstageregulator.Theintegrated2ndstageregulatorisakeysafetycomponentforthediver.

Shouldthedealerordiverchoosenottouseabailouttyperebreathermouthpiece,thewarrantyonthatdivingsystem
willberevoked.Wecan’tstressenoughtheimportanceofthisfeature.

RequiredParts:

TheKISSOSBASICwillshipwiththeloophoses,aswellasthepartstoaachthesehosestothescrubberhead’s.The
customerwillneedtopurchaseaBOV&partswithwhichtosecurethemouthpiecetothesehoses.

ItisimportantthatwhenchoosingamethodtosecuretheloophosestotheBOV,thattheBOVcanberemovedeasily.
ThisisimportantastheBOVmushroomvalves(valvedisks)mustbeinspectedpriortoeverydive.

LOOPHOSEBALLASTRINGS

Theballastringsmayseemlikeaninsignificantpartoftherebreatherbutinrealitytheyareanimportantpartofthe
divingsystem.Havingeithertoomuchortoolileweightontheloophoseswillcausemuchdiscomfortandstressto
divers.

WhentheballastissuppliedbyKISSRebreathers,8rings,4perside,areused.Thetotalweightofourballastringsare
1.04lb;or.13lbeach.ThisisimportantinformaonasotherSSringsonthemarket,whilelookingverysimilar,areac‐
tuallyalighterweight.Ifyouchoosetousetheserings,ensurethatyouknowwhatthetotalweightwillbeandthat
youpurchaseenoughofthem.

Therearealsootherballastsystemsonthemarket.Again,becertainthatyouknowwhatthetotalweightofthose
systemswillbe.

Goodfeaturestowatchforinaballastsystemistheabilitytomovetheweightupordownthehoses,whileunderwa‐
ter.ThisiswhySSringsworksowell;theyareeasilymovedduringthedive.Itisimportanttobeabletomovethem
duringthediveasthisistheonlymethediverwilltrulyknowiftheweightisproperlyposioned.Movingtherings
upordownslightlycanmakeadifferenceinthecomfortofthediver.

OXYGENFIRSTSTAGEREGULATOR

Theoxygenfirststageregulatorislocatedontheboomoftherebreatherandissecuredtotheonboardcylinder.

Dealersanddiversthatchoosetousetheirownfirststagesmustchooseafirststagefromtheapprovedlistbelow.

Priortofinalassemblyoftherebreathertheoxygenfirststagemustbemodified.Thetopringofthefirststagemust
beremoved,theenvironmentalplugandsealremovedandtheKISSdelrinplugwithO‐ringinserted.Todothis:

 Loosenthetopringofthefirststage.
 Tipthefirststageoverandtheenvironmentalplugwillfallout.
 Thetopringhasasealinsertedintoit;useyourfingerstopushitoutandremoveit.
 LubricatetheO‐ringwithoxygencompablegrease,andensureitissecuredtothedelrinplug.

10 MSL 72.161 Jetsam/Orca Spirit manual R.5
 Pushthedelrinplugfirmlyintoposion.
 Securethetopringtothefirststagebody.Whileturningthetopringin,youwillneedtopushthecentreofthe
delrinplugtoholditfirmlyinposion.Ifyoudon’tdothis,thedelrinplugwillwanttopushupandoutmakingit
difficulttosecurethering.
 Ensurethattheringisproperlysecured.

Oncethedelrinplughasbeeninstalled,anOPVwillneedtobeinsertedintooneofthelowpressureports.TheOPVis
animportantpartofthefirststageregulatoranddiversshouldnotdivetheKISSOSwithoutonepresent.

ItisimportantthatboththedelrinplugandtheOPVbeproperlyinstalledontheoxygenfirststage.Ifthedelrinplugis

Theballastringswillneedtobeadjustedagain,onceinthewater.Posioningwillbedifferentforeverydiver.While
inthepool,yourinstructorwilldemonstrateneutralmouthpiecebuoyancy.Ideallythemouthpiecewillfloatneutrally
infrontofthediversface,iftheringsareplacedproperlyandtheloophosesarenottwisted.Ifwhendoingthisskill,
themouthpieceisnotfloanginthedesiredarea,ensurethatyourhosesarenottwistedandadjustyourballastrings.
Toadjustthehosesunderwater,simplyholdthemouthpiecewithonehand,andgentlyturnthehosewiththeother.
Again,oncetheringsareproperlyplaced,theydonotneedadjusngagain.

Thesestepsareimportant.Ifthisisn’tdone,thenthemouthpiecewillbeuncomfortable.

Ifyoufeelthatthemouthpieceisexcessivelybuoyantevenwithproperlyplacedballastweightontheloophoses,you
maysecurealoopofbungeetoyourshoulderstrapsandslidetheloophosethroughthiswhensecuringtoyourtow‐
ers.Thebungeeloopwillassistinholdingtheloophosesinplace.AstheBOVhasanexcellentworkofbreathing,it
alsohasalargeairspacewhichmakesthemouthpiecemorebuoyantthenothermodels.

*NOTE:Forthemouthpiecetobecomfortable,theaboveinstruconsmustbefollowed.If
youfeelthemouthpieceeitherpullingupordownwhilediving,adjustitbyholdingonto
themouthpieceandgentlyturningthehosebyholdingtheendwithyourotherhand.

DETERMININGTHECORRECTCOUNTERLUNGSIZE:

Todetermineifthecounterlung'sareasuitablesize,youmustfirstputtheunitonandsecurethelungs.Theamount
ofgasthatthelungsholdcanbeadjustedbysimplyghteningorlooseningthelungwaiststrap.Ifwhendoingthetest
below,thelungsaretoosmall,loosenthestrapandtryagain.Iftheyaretoolarge,thenyoucanghtendownthe
straptoadjust.

First,putthemouthpieceintoyourmouth,opentheloopandinhalethegasintoyourlungsandthenoutofyournose
unltheloopiscompletelyempty.Whentheloopisempty,closetheBOVwithoutallowinganyairtoenter.Then,
takealargebreath,asmuchasyoucanhold,puttheBOVintoyourmouth,opentheloopandexhaleallyouraircom‐
pletelyintotheloopandthenclosetheBOV.

Ideally,thelungsizeshouldbeasevenlymatchedtoyourownlungsaspossible.Ifyoufindthatwhendoingthistest
youcangetmorethanonefullbreathintotheloopbeforeitisfull,thencinchdownthestraps.Neverusecounter‐
lung'swherethevolumeissmallerthanyourown!Verysmallpeoplemayrequirea2&4litertoensureproperplace‐
ment,whilemostpeoplewilluse4&4literlungs.Thosewithverylargelungvolumesmayrequire4&6literlungs.

Inmatchingyourdalvolumetothecounterlungvolume,youwillfindthatyourbuoyancyinshallowwatercanbeex‐
ceponal.OnlyKISSdiverscanholdtheirposioninwaterthatisonly3to4feetdeep.Ifyouarefindingbuoyancy
difficultinwaterthisshallow,thisisduetoeitherbeingnewontherebreatherorthecounterlung’saretoolarge.

Whiledoingthistestatthesurface,rememberthatunderwateryourrequiredvolumewon’tchange.Ifyoufindthat
yoursurfacetestwentwell,butitfeelslikethelungsaretoosmallunderwater,youprobablyhavetoomuchgasinthe
loop.Tocorrectthis,exhalesomeofthegasoutofyournose.Or,youfailedensurethatthelungsweren’ttwisted
whenthreadedthroughthewing,thenthiswillcauseeitheradecreaseinlungvolume&/orwillincreasetheworkof
breathing.Seetheworkofbreathingpagesformoreinformaon.

*NOTE:Thecloseryoucanmatchthecounterlungvolumewithyourown,thebeeryour
buoyancywillbe.DivingtheKISSOSwithcounterlungwiththestrapsFULLYopenwillre‐
sultingreaterbuoyancychanges.Thiscancausetheusertolosecontroloftheirbuoyancy
whichcanleadtoinjuryordeath!!

AUTOMATICDILUENTVALVE(ADV):

TheADVislocatedonthetopofthegasaddionscrubberhead.TheADVwilladddiluentgasto
yourbreathingloopaertheloopvolumehasbeenreducedbyeitherdescendingor“breathing


TheADVhasbeensetup“ght”enoughthatitdoesn’tadddiluentwithoutthediverbeingaware.Butitaddsenough
gassothatareasonabledescentratecanbemaintained.Asyoucansee,thereisanadjustmentknobontheADVreg‐

CONTROLLEDASCENT,WHICHMAYLEADTOINJURYORDEATH!

AnymetheADVtriggersyouneedtocheckyourPPO2.youhaveeitherdescendedandcompressedthegasinthe
looporyouhaveconsumedenoughoxygentoreducethePPO2significantly.Thismayalsohavecausedyoutolose
buoyancyanddescend.

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ismoredifficulttotrigger.(Awellfingharnessisimportant;thiswillgreatlyreducethediffi‐


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

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


Thecylindersidewhipshouldbesecuredtothediver’sfirststageonthediluent/bailoutcylinder.

Thosediversthatwishtocarrymorethenonediluent/bailoutcylindermaypurchaseasecondcylindersidewhip.This
wouldallowbothdiluentcylinder’stobeopenthroughoutthedive.Whenthediverswapsthemainoff‐boardwhip
