Figure 1-25 shows a cross section of the water diversion manifold. A quick inspection will
show that on one side (the “front”) you can insert a nger and feel an open vertical tube leading
down to the threaded counterlung connection post (see Figure 1-25). If you insert a nger
through the other side (the “back”), you will feel an interior convex cylindrical surface blocking
entry.In order for the water diversion manifolds to work properly, we recommend that you
position the water diversion manifold so they are both directed facing the mouthpiece. I.e. that
“the front” of the manifold on both the inhalation and exhalation lung are positioned towards
the mouthpiece.
Insert one of the water diversion manifolds (they are identical) into the top port of the right
counterlung (Figure 1-24). Inspect the o-ring and sealing surfaces and be sure both are clean
and lubricated. Carefully screw the manifold into the port, taking care not to cross-thread the
connection post and port threads. Carefully observe the radial o-ring as you make the connec-
tion to make sure the o-ring does not pop out of its groove. Screw the manifold until the o-ring
is fully engaged with the radial sealing surface of the counterlung port. Do not screw all way
down, Leave a gap of 3-5 mm. Verify that the “front” of the water diversion manifold is pointed
forward, so that the hose connecting the mouthpiece attaches to the “front” side of the diver-
sion manifold. If the manifold is not oriented correctly, unscrew the manifold (counterclockwise)
just until the front aligns in the proper direction. always be less than one full rotation. When you
have completed installation of the two water diversion manifolds in to the top port of both
counter lungs it should look as shown in Figure 1-26.
