Kirby Morgan Dive Systems Bulletin

Pull Pin Sleeve Kit P/N 525-112

Kirby Morgan introduces a pull pin sleeve kit P/N 525-112, to help prevent the knob of the sealed pull pin, P/N 505-110, from catching or snagging on objects or protrusions.

Kirby Morgan strongly recommends that the tender, stand by diver, or a least a second person, ALWAYS pre-dive check the sealed pull pins to ensure that both of the sealed pull pins are fully latched and in the closed position prior to each and every dive.
