KMB 18 & 28 MANUAL
This Kirby Morgan Band Mask (KMB 18 A/B & 28) diving mask is intended for use only by trained
divers who have successfully completed a recognized training course in surface supplied diving.
WARNING: Follow all the instructions in this manual carefully and heed all safety
precautions. Improper use of this diving mask could result in serious injury or death.
DANGER: Kirby Morgan Dive Systems, Inc. (KMDSI) warns all divers who use the
Kirby Morgan Band Mask (KMB 18A/B & 28) to be sure to use only KMDSI original spare
parts from a KMDSI authorized dealer. Although other parts, O-rings and fittings may
appear to fit on the Kirby Morgan Band Mask (KMB 18A/B & 28), they may not to be
manufactured to the same standards maintained by KMDSI. The use of any parts other
than KMDSI original parts may lead to equipment failure and accidents.
DANGER: Diving in an environment that is chemically, biologically, or radiologi-
cally contaminated is extremely hazardous. Although the Kirby Morgan Band Mask
(KMB 18A/B & 28) may be adapted for use in some contaminated environments, special
training, equipment, and procedures are necessary. Do not dive in a contaminated
environment unless you have been thoroughly trained and equipped for this type of
diving.
Read this manual before using or maintaining the mask, even if you have experience with other
diving masks. If you have purchased the mask new from a dealer, be sure to send in the warranty
registration card so we may keep you informed regarding any safety notices that affect this
product. If you resell or loan this mask to another diver, be sure this manual accompanies the mask
and that the person reads and understands the manual.
DANGER: Diving is a life threatening occupation. Even if you do everything right
there is still the potential for serious injury or death. Diving a Kirby Morgan band mask
or helmet cannot prevent accidents, injuries, or death.
WARNING: This mask was completely checked and should be ready to dive as it
was shipped from the factory. However, it is always the diver's responsibility to check
all the components of the mask prior to diving.
