If you have any questions regarding the use, maintenance, or operation of this helmet, contact KMDSI at (805) 928-

Kirby Morgan masks and helmets are cleaned and lubricated for oxygen ser-
vice when they come from the factory. However, if the helmet is used with an
oil lubricated air compressor, contamination with hydrocarbons may result.
If the breathing system in the helmet is exposed to hydrocarbons, it must be
cleaned for oxygen service and lubricated with oxygen safe lubricants before
using it again with breathing mixtures containing a high percentage of oxy-
gen. If this is not done, fires and explosions may result, exposing the user to
serious personal injury or death.
Components requiring lubrication, should only be lubricated with oxygen compatible lubricants such as Christo
Lube®, Flourolube®, or Krytox
®
. Lubricants must be used sparingly and should not be mixed with other lubricants.
KMDSI helmets and masks are intended for underwater use only and should only be
used by qualified divers that have received proper training in the use of this type of
equipment. KMDSI helmets and masks should not be used or worn without the appro-
priate life support systems, such as air or gas supplies and support personnel as de-
scribed in this manual.
KMDSI helmets and masks should never be used for motor sport racing, aviation /
space craft use, or for chemical warfare use. The helmet must never be used by persons
in poor physical condition, by persons with previous head, neck, or back injuries which
could be aggravated by its use. The helmet should not be used by persons under the in-
fluence of drugs or alcohol. Furthermore, infants, children, or persons under the age of
18 should never wear KMDSI helmets and masks. Failure to pay heed to the above could
result in serious injury or death.
Never use the helmet without first completing all pre-dive maintenance and set up pro-
cedures.
Do not use KMDSI masks or helmets in currents exceeding 3.0 knots Use in currents
greater than 3 knots may allow water to enter the exhaust valve, possibly causing regu-
lator flooding.
Surface-supplied diving can be a strenuous activity. The Kirby Morgan 47 weighs ap-
proximately 30 lbs. KMDSI recommends that persons with a previous neck or back
injury seek professional medical approval prior to engaging in surface supplied diving
operations using the Kirby Morgan 47. Use of the Kirby Morgan 47 with a pre-existing
physical/medical condition may result in death or serious injury.

countries have specific laws and rules regarding commercial diving. It is important for the user to understand the rules,
