Place whisker clamps around the grooves in each
of the two whiskers. Before doing the final tight-
ening of the whisker clamps, make sure that the
parting line on the bottom of the wings is lined
up with the parting line on the main body. For
the SL 27 helmet ONLY, make sure that the
parting line on the bottom of the whisker wings
is
5/16
" behind the parting line on the main body.
Properly re-align the port and starboard wings to
the main body.
6) Install the diaphragm and regula-
tor cover. Tighten the screw see "Torque
Specs" on page APNDX-19 for correct torque using
a torque screwdriver.
1.1.4 Special Regulator Tools for
SuperFlow
®
350
Five special tools should be used for maintenance
and adjustment of the demand regulator assem-
bly; the inlet valve holder, regulator adjustment
wrench, socket wrench, castle wrench, and reg-
ulator mount nut socket wrench. These three
wrenches make regulator adjustment much
easier. The tools come in a convenient pouch
with instructions, (P/N 525-620). This tool kit
ships standard with every Kirby Morgan helmet
equipped with the SuperFlow
®
350 regulator.

350 Demand
Regulator
1.2.1 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
®
350 regulator
whenever possible.
Disassembly, assembly, and adjustment can be
done without these tools, but the work is much
easier if these tools are used. The above five tools
are available together 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
®
350 regula-
tor.

350 Demand Regulator
Test for Correct Adjustment, Fully
Assembled
To maintain optimum performance of the de-
mand regulator, it should be checked for proper
function and adjustment prior to commencement
of diving each diving day, in accordance with the
KMDSI Daily Set Up and Functional Checklist.
See the Dive Lab website (www.divelab.com) for
the latest procedures for set-up.
Check the regulator for adjustment and proper
function with the assembly complete, and sup-
plied with a breathing gas supply pressure of 135
to 150 p.s.i.g.
