4. Set the cage (36) with the
fingers facing out over the push
button (35). Place the airway
body (30) face down on a clean
surface against the cage. Secure
the cage to the airway body
assembly using an arbor press
or gently striking with a rubber
mallet. Check to ensure all of the
fingers on the cage are engaged
in the internal groove of the air-
way body assembly.
CAUTION: Do not use excessive force while installing the
cage, doing so could cause damage to the airway body.
5. Using needle nose pliers, place the rubber valve (27) flat end up
over the small diameter threads of the stem (31). Install the washer
(26) on top of the rubber valve. Place the locknut (25) into a 5.5mm
nut driver and screw the locknut onto the stem.
6. Insert the pin spanner into the holes on the button (35). Using
the 5.5mm nut driver, screw the locknut (25) onto the stem (31) until
the threads are exposed 1/4 inch opposite the locknut.
7. Install mouthpiece (29) onto
the airway body (30) with the
curved end facing out. Ensure
the mouthpiece fits into the
groove on the airway body.
8. Dip the dump valve poppet (18) into soapy water and press
securely onto the barbed tip of the poppet stem (19). Slide the
spring (20) onto the stem.
9. Insert the poppet stem (19)
through the flat end of the poppet
guide (21).
10. The braided spectra cord (23) may be assembled to the poppet
stem (19) in one of two ways depending on the equipment available
at the time of service.
NOTE: Braided spectra cord needs to be 56 inches in
length and 3/64 inches in diameter.
a. Place the poppet guide (21) on a flat (clean) surface with the forked
end up. The hole in the poppet stem (19) should line up with the
small notches on the poppet guide. Press down on the poppet guide
enough to pass the braided spectra cord (23) through the hole in the
poppet stem two times. Using a ruler, ensure the braided spectra cord
measures 30.5 cm (12 inches) end to end.
