2.1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides the manufacturer's advice
on how to use the Kirby Morgan 18A/B and 28
Band Masks. The use of these diving Band Masks
will vary with the type of work and environmen-
tal conditions.
DANGER: The basic procedures of
donning and removing the Kirby Morgan
18A/B or 28 will be similar for every job. A
proper training program in a calm, clear
body of water must be undertaken. If the
diver has not used the Kirby Morgan 18A/
B or KMB 28 before, he must not go on a
job without proper training. Death could
result due to a lack of familiarity with the
mask.
Divers that are familiar and trained in the use of
previous mask designs of Kirby and Morgan
(Models 8, 9, 10, the Navy MK. 1, the SuperLite-
17A/B, or the SuperLite-27) will find the Kirby
Morgan 18A/B and 28 to have the breathing
system controls located in the same position and
the operation of the Band Mask will be similar.
The numbers appearing in parentheses are "loca-
tion" numbers on the parts list, which appear on
the "blowapart" illustration at the end of this
manual. You should fold out the blowapart illus-
tration to view while you read this section.
2.1.1 First Use of Kirby Morgan 18A/B & 28
When you first receive your Kirby Morgan KMB
18A/B or KMB 28, carefully unpack it and exam-
ine it for any damage that may have occurred
during shipment. Use the inspection sheet pro-
vided to ensure that no damage has occurred
during shipment. The purchaser must contact the
freight carrier and/or the KMDSI dealer if the
Band Mask has been damaged in shipment.
