1.1.1 General Regulator Information
While the regulator systems on all Kirby Mor-
gan helmets are simple and highly reliable, the
breathing resistance will increase if the demand
regulator on your helmet is not maintained or
adjusted properly. The demand regulator must
receive regular maintenance to assure the best
performance possible. However, in the event the
demand regulator is damaged, there is always a
backup supply of steady flow gas available from
the defogger valve.
For the gas inlet valve and adjustment system to
operate properly, the components in the demand
regulator MUST be in good condition and MUST
be periodically inspected and adjusted.
Five special tools, the inlet valve holder (P/N
525-616), the regulator adjustment wrench (P/N

525-611), the socket wrench (P/N 525-612), the
castle wrench (P/N 525-618), and the regulator
mount nut socket wrench (P/N 525-625) should
be used to work on the SuperFlow
whenever possible.
Disassembly, assembly, and adjustment can be
done without these tools, but the work is much
easier and the adjustment is better if these tools
are used. The above five tools are available to-
gether along with a tool case. The "Tool Kit with
Pouch" is Part #525-620. This kit is included with
each new Kirby Morgan helmet that is equipped
with the SuperFlow
