Kirby Morgan EXO Full-Face Mask Operation & Maintenance Manual page 9

Regulator full face mask

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.

The EXO comes from the factory lubricated for oxygen service. If the exo

is to be used for enriched air or oxygen use it must be carefully maintained

and cleaned in accordance with this manual. components requiring Lubrica-

tion must be only be lubricated with an oxygen compatible lubricant such

as Christo Lube or Krytox. Any breathing mixture containing an oxygen

content greater than 23% oxygen is considered enriched gas.

All Kirby Morgan helmets, masks, and low pressure demand regulators must not be used with oxygen mixtures in excess

of 50% oxygen by volume without first ensuring all low pressure (less than 225 psig, 15.5 bar) gas transporting compo-

nents have been cleaned for oxygen service. Only oxygen compatible lubricants such as Krytox™ and ChristoLube™

should be used on components requiring lubrication and lubricants should be used sparingly. Never mix different types

of oxygen compatible lubricants. Helmets or masks used primarily for air diving and occasionally for enriched gas use

should be cleaned at more frequent intervals than helmets used for mixed gas diving only.

KMDSI regards the use of any breathing gas mixture greater than 50% oxygen

to be treated as oxygen. This belief is in keeping with the recommendations

set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Compressed

Gas Association (CGA), and the American Society for Testing and Materials

(ASTM).

Kirby Morgan "High Pressure Components" (greater than 225 p.s.i.g., 15.5 bar)

must not to be used with pure oxygen, Nitrox, or any breathing gas mixtures

with oxygen content greater than 23.5 % by volume. Using oxygen mixtures

in excess of 23.5 % by volume may lead to a fire or explosion, which could

result in serious injury or death.

Any diving helmet, full face mask, regulator, control console or breathing life

support item manufactured or sold by KMDSI must not be used with breath-

ing gas mixtures in excess of 50% oxygen without first ensuring that all gas

transporting components have been cleaned for oxygen service, have oxygen

compatible soft goods lubricated with an approved oxygen compatible lubri-

cant such as Krytox or Christo Lube grease.

The Kirby Morgan SuperFlow 1st stage scuba regulator, as well as all Kirby Morgan dive control consoles and high-

pressure gas components (greater than 225 p.s.i.g., 15.5 bar) should not be used with pure oxygen, Nitrox, or any breathing

gas containing more than 23.5 % oxygen by volume. The first stage is not intended for use with enriched gas mixtures.
