Reinstalling The Regulator On The Helmet - Kirby Morgan 77 Operation And Maintenance Manual

7.14 Reinstalling the Regulator on the
Helmet
Tools Required:
Regulator removal tool
Flat blade torque screwdriver
13/16 open end wrenches
1) Install the washer and regulator assembly into the
helmet pod, and thread the regulator mount nut, as
you feed the regulator assembly into the pod, but just
hand tight.
2) Work around the edge of the whisker where it meets
the helmet shell to align the rubber grooves at the back
of the whisker, to the grooves on the pod. Once the
regulator is correctly positioned, finish tightening the
mount nut to 80 inch pounds.
3) Install the bent tube into the inlet nipple, 3 or 4
turns. If needed, turn the regulator assembly on the
helmet to allow alignment of the bent tube to the side
block.
4) Lightly lubricate the male threads on the side block
and swing the bent tube up into place and torque the
bent tube to the side block.
Make sure the whisker spacers are in position
before tightening the screws that secure the
whiskers.
