KIRBY MORGAN SUPERLITE DEEP SEA DIVING HELMET MODELS
17C, 17K, 27, KM-37/SS, 47, 57, 77, 97
SUPERVISORS EQUIPMENT CHECKS
PRIOR TO ENTRY INTO WATER
APPENDIX A2.4.2
01-25-17
NOTE:
This checklist is intended to be used with KMDSI SuperLite 17C, 17K, 27 and
KM-37/SS, 47, 57, 77, 97. The diving supervisor or person appointed by the
diving supervisor should use this checklist as a minimum prior to deploying
divers.
NOTE:
Helmet(s) being used in polluted waters, or extreme environments, will require
inspection that is more frequent.
CAUTION: KMDSI strongly recommends the use of a Tender to assist the diver when
“dressing-in”. The Tender should ensure the Helmet Liner is fastened to the
Helmet Shell and the Chinstrap is properly fastened under the divers chin, once
the Helmet is donned.
WARNING: These are recommended minimum checks when using Kirby Morgan Helmets or
Masks. Additional checks may be required as dictated by the conditions and tasks
being performed. Failure to perform in-water checks may result in serious injury
or death.
CAUTION: All surface supplied diving with Kirby Morgan Helmets must include a fully
functional, properly maintained Emergency Gas System (“EGS”). The EGS
should be maintained in accordance with the Modular Operations and
Maintenance Manual(s).
