BWARNING

Diving with compressed breathing gas is a hazardous

activity. Even if you do everything in the proper manner

there is always the potential for serious injury or death.

No one piece of diving equipment can prevent the possi-

bility that you may be injured or killed any time you enter

the water. The information in this manual is intended for

users of Kirby Morgan helmets and persons that maintain

or service Kirby Morgan helmets.

REMARKS: Operating or descriptive information which

will help you make the best use of your regulator.

This user guide contains important safety information and should

always be available to those personnel using this equipment.

Read, understand, and retain all instructions before using this

equipment to prevent injury or equipment damage.

If you sell or loan this equipment to another person, be sure that

this manual accompanies the gear when you transfer possession

to them.

Product Changes

Following publication of this booklet, certain changes in standard

equipment, options, prices and the like may have occurred which

would not be included in these pages. Your Authorized KMDSI

dealer is your best source for up-to-date information on any of

these products. Kirby Morgan Dive Systems Inc. reserves the

right to change product specications at any time without incur-

ring obligations.

Product Changes

In order to use this regulator assembly, it is essential to complete

a training course and receive certication, issued by a recognized

national SCUBA training organization, conrming your ability

to dive.

BCAUTION

By using this equipment the diver acknowledges

that he has read and completely understands the

instruction manual provided with it, and hereby

agrees to hold harmless Kirby Morgan Dive Sys-

tems, inc. from any accident, malfunction, or other

event arising from the misuse of the equipment, or

from any lack of, or incomplete understanding of its

operation and function.

BCAUTION

This regulator assembly should be used only with

breathing air meeting requirements of the EN12021

BCAUTION

When the regulator is used in a European Union

member country, it should be used only with equip-

ment and accessories that are CE approved, ac-

cording to EN250.

BWARNING

•

The rst stage SCUBA regulator has not been

designed or tested for use with breathing gas

mixtures containing greater than 23% oxygen.

Do not use the rst stage or the regulator as-

sembly with second stage with breathing gases

containing more than 23% oxygen. Use with gas

mixtures containing in excess of 23% oxygen

could lead to res or explosions.

Product Changes

BWARNING

•

The second stage SCUBA regulator has not

been designed or tested for use with breathing

gas mixtures containing greater than 50% oxy-

gen.

Do not use the second stage with breathing

gases containing more than 50% oxygen. Use

with gas mixtures containing in excess of 50%

oxygen could lead to res or explosions.

BWARNING

In accordance with the EN250 Standard, the maximum

approved depth for the use of this equipment is 50 meters

(164 FSW) @ 62.5 RMV (heavy work load). Do not exceed

this limit. The use of open circuit SCUBA at depths below

164 FSW poses extreme risks including out-of-air emer-

gencies and decompression sickness, which can lead to

serious personal injury or death.

BWARNING

Never use solvents or aerosol sprays on our

around the regulator assembly. Certain solvents

and propulsion agents attack and damage rub-

ber and certain plastics. This could lead to regu-

lator failure. Drowning could result.

This user guide gives basic daily operational information for the

Kirby Morgan Balanced SCUBA Regulator assembly.

Before each use the regulator assembly should be carefully

checked and submitted to the operational tests. Never dive with

a regulator showing any signs of deterioration or a below normal

performance.

The hoses tted to the regulator assembly, and supplied by

KMDSI meet the requirements of the EN250 standard concerning

the connection of components. Only original Kirby Morgan hoses

should be used as replacements.

Cold Water Diving

- HP thread 7/16" - 20 UNF

- LP thread ⅜" - 24 UNF

BCAUTION

Always allow pressure to build up slowly in the

regulator by turning on the cylinder valve slowly.

Use only Christo-Lube®on the rubber components. Never grease

the parts of your regulator with a lubricant containing hydrocar-

bons, household oil, or motor oil.

Cold Water Diving

Before diving in cold water (water temperature below 10 °C/50 °F),

the diver should be trained and have mastered the techniques of

cold water diving, learning techniques and all precautions neces-

sary to avoid freezing of the regulator. All of this is included in the

training programs of organizations offering courses in diving in

cold water or under ice. You should also use equipment intended

for this purpose. This regulator is CE approved for waters colder

than 10°C /50 degrees F.

In order to reduce the risks of regulator freezing when diving in

cold water (below 10°C), consider doing the following:

1. Protect your regulators from any water entering the rst or

second stages.

2. Protect your equipment from cold before the dive. Keep your

regulator and all its accessories in a warm dry place.

3. Carry out all pre-dive checks of your equipment in a warm dry

place if necessary, before even going to the dive site.

4. Avoid breathing through the regulator or pressing the purge

button in very cold air before entering the water.

5. Check that the air used to ll your cylinder is dry. The water

vapor contained in this air should have a condensation point

below -54°C. Excess water vapor can freeze, causing a free

ow, or blocking the air ow completely.
