    And when you take a piece of equipment into water, especially salt water, that could happen sooner rather than later. Due to this, we have built the KISS rebreathers to have the least amount of components possible and to make the components that we use durable and easily repairable if required.
  • Page 7 With the KISS rebreathers, you know that you should have both a good positive and negative test. If you don’t, there is a leak. If you aren’t sure if the test is good, then you probably have a small leak. Testing is easy to do, as both the lungs and loop hoses are accessible and are the key components which need to be watched while testing.
  • Page 8 Please see the back of the manual for more information on absorbent and run times. Absorbent can easily be obtained at most dive resorts and is easy to pack for travel, should the need arise. The Sport KISS has a bi-axial flow design.
  • Page 9 The Sport KISS is very small and light weight and will also take divers past regular recreational limits.

  • Page 10: Specifications

    • The Sport KISS is a closed circuit rebreather designed for recreational sport diving. It is not recommended for diving deeper than 165 feet (50 meters), cave diving or wreck penetrations. For those diving to the 50 meter limit, proper training, outside the basic KISS rebreather course is required.

  • Page 16 When attached correctly, the stainless steel T-connector swivel should be on the BCD side of the counterlung case, facing the divers back. Next, attach the other hose attachment in the same manner.   *WARNING: When attaching the hose attachments, ensure  that they are inserted straight and that the base of the at- tachment is flush with the mating piece on the scrubber can- ister.  The photo on the right shows the incorrect way!!    *NOTE: Any damage to the exhaust valve, or any debris  caught in this valve may cause a malfunction &/or leak.  Care  should be taken when servicing the valve.     *NOTE: Care should be taken so the bottom screens of the display & exhaust pods are not  damaged.  If the screens come off, the absorbent will be loose and can travel up the loop hose  to the mouthpiece!    MSL 72.124 Jetsam/Sport KISS Manual R.6...

    There is one tether on each side of the case. (This is the most current tether system for the Sport KISS rebreather). The benefit of this current tether system is that the parts are readily available worldwide. Should you lose a component, replace- ment should be fairly easy.
  • Page 18 Finally to attach the breathing hoses to the DSV, push the hose stubs onto the DSV adapters, push down and turn right. Repeat to attach the other hose ends to the hose attachment pods.   MSL 72.124 Jetsam/Sport KISS Manual R.6...

    Another way to add gas to the loop via the mouthpiece is to close the loop only a 1/4 inch, for a second. You may need to lightly push the purge button on the front of the 2nd stage. A small amount of gas will blow directly into the breathing loop. MSL 72.124 Jetsam/Sport KISS Manual R.6...

  • Page 21 To attach the BCD lay the unit down, front side up. The BCD should be positioned so that it sits as low as possible. The higher the Sport KISS sits on the divers back, the better the work of breathing will be.

  • Page 22: Changing The Scrubber

    Changing the scrubber on the Sport KISS is quick and easy and takes just minutes. To start, unclip the two quick link tethers and remove the rubber LP hose which is connected to the inside of the T-connector swivel. The quick link/split ring tethers keep the pods from spinning and also hold the scrubber canister in place.
  • Page 23 Attach the scrubber canister caps onto the top of the scrubber. Lift the scrubber canister out of the counterlung case and remove the counterlungs. The lungs are removed by rotating them 1/4 turn counter-clockwise. MSL 72.124 Jetsam/Sport KISS Manual R.6...

  • Page 24: Counterlungs

    Remember to push them on straight and ensure that the o-ring is not pinched. COUNTERLUNGS:  The Sport KISS uses two back mounted counterlungs that are available in two sizes; small and medium. A combi- nation of these will normally provide a good match between the counterlung volume and the divers tidal volume.
  • Page 25 BCD. Once the canister has been replaced in the counterlung case and is secure, it is ready to be filled. Start by pouring scrubber into both sides of the canister. MSL 72.124 Jetsam/Sport KISS Manual R.6...
  • Page 26 When the canister has been properly filled, the scrubber material should be level with the bot- tom of the black retainers. *WARNING: It is important that the can- ister is filled to the correct level, follow- ing the above procedures.  Over filling  the canister will increase the work of  breathing and can actually cause CO2  symptoms by restricting the off gassing  of CO2 within the divers lungs.   Care  should also be taken to ensure that the  canister does not incur any damage.   Damage to a sealing area could cause  water to enter, rendering the absorbent  useless.   MSL 72.124 Jetsam/Sport KISS Manual R.6...
  • Page 27 This will ensure a good seal and will make re-attachment easier. Lightly lubricate the o-ring on the hose attachments and the inside surface of the scrubber canister. MSL 72.124 Jetsam/Sport KISS Manual R.6...
  • Page 28 Once the hose attachments are back in place, re-attach the quick link safety tethers and the rubber LP hose.   *WARNING: CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE DISPLAY AND EXHAUST PODS ARE IN GOOD  WORKING ORDER AND NOT DAMAGED.  DAMAGED COMPONENTS MAY CAUSE THE SPORT KISS TO NOT FUNC- TION PROPERLY WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH!!!    *WARNING: IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ALL COMPONTENTS OF THE SPORT KISS SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH  CARE.  ABUSE OR DAMAGE TO ANY COMPONETS COULD CAUSE THEM TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS COULD  LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH!!!    MSL 72.124 Jetsam/Sport KISS Manual R.6...

  • Page 29: Positive/Negative Testing

    If you have any uncertain feeling, then you may have a small leak. The exhaust valve should be fully closed while doing these tests. *WARNING - It is important to not leave the vacuum in the loop for more than a minute as this will cause the  ADV diaphragm to stretch and get baggy.  If this happens, the ADV will not work properly.  It will either stop  working altogether or will continuously feed you diluent.      *NOTE: When doing your test, it is VERY important to not suck so hard that you are damaging the dia- phragms.  When you do the negative  test, suck until you get a good seal, and then immediately close off the  BOV. if you suck so hard that you feel the pressure building in the back of your throat/neck area, your ears  pop, or you feel your face turning red for exertion, this is way too hard.  There is no need for this and it will  damage the valves and diaphragms.  Suck just until you feel that pressure, then close the valve.      Our new BOV has a larger bore and much better work of breathing, then the older DSV.  In order to get that  good work of breathing, the valves are more flexible. This means that with this new product, we need to en- sure that we have good testing habits.  Those divers who learned the testing procedures years ago, have to  understand that the equipment has now changed, and that our habits must also change.      Also ensure that the area where the valve seals is clean.  build up in this area will cause the diaphragm to  leak.   MSL 72.124 Jetsam/Sport KISS Manual R.6...

  • Page 30: Counterlung Adjustment Plate Positioning

    To correct this, exhale some of the gas out of your nose. *NOTE: The closer you can match the counterlung volume with your own, the better the work  of breathing will be.  If you have the sizing flap set to far out and the lungs are too large, the  work of breathing will be very difficult.  This could cause injury or death!        MSL 72.124 Jetsam/Sport KISS Manual R.6...
