Important SuperMask M-48 Product Information
Thank you for purchasing your new Kirby Morgan SuperMask M-48.
A. This lightweight Full Face Mask was purchased either equipped
with a Diving Systems International (DSI) SuperFlow plastic adjust-
able second stage Scuba Regulator (Part # 305-166) or without a
regulator so that you, the end user can equip your mask with the
adjustable second stage regulator of your choice. Although the M-48
Scuba Pod (Part # 805-015) was designed to use DSIs SuperFlow
regulator, providing the user with an efficient, comfortable system,other adjustable second stage regulators may work well in the Scuba
Pod.
If you are attempting to use another manufacturers regulator in your
M-48 Mask, (other than our SuperFlow plastic adjustable second
stage Scuba Regulator) you MUST be aware of the following:
1. Re-read and understand the information in your Users
Guide, beginning on page #16, named Mounting the
SuperFlow Regulator. (There is a typo in the Users Guide on
page #5 that states that this information is on page 18.)
2. Be sure that the mouthpiece mounting tube size meets the
correct called out criteria, (as stated on page #16, named
Mounting the SuperFlow Regulator) before mounting a
second stage regulator (other than DSIs SuperFlow plastic
adjustable second stage Scuba Regulator) into your mask.
3. The SuperFlow second stage regulator has a wide range ofadjustment making it ideally suited for full-face mask use in
both scuba or surface supplied diving. Using another
-
8/8/2019 M-48 Manual & Parts
4/30
manufacturers 2nd stage regulator in the M-48Scuba pod
may change the normal performance characteristics of the
regulator when the mouthpiece is not in the mouth. When
using a full-face mask, some demand regulators may have
a tendency to free flow when the diver is in the horizontal or
face down position.
WARNINGIF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS AS TO WHETHER ANOTHER
MANUFACTURERS ADJUSTABLE REGULATOR WILL MATE
OR PERFORM CORRECTLY WITH YOUR M-48 MASK, DO NOTUSE IT UNTIL YOU HAVE SPOKEN WITH KMDSI OR YOUR
KMDSI DEALER FOR CONFORMITY OF COMPATIBILITY. CALL
YOUR DEALER FOR INFORMATION OR ASSISTANCE.
B. Part # 820-105 Pod Catch/Release requires routine inspection
before and after each dive to insure that the part is in its optimum
working condition. When attaching the Pod Assembly to your Super-
Mask, the Pod Catch/Release should make a snapping sound while
going over each ratchet tooth on the latch catch (P/N 820-045). If
there is no sound or physical contact while going over the first ratchet
tooth on the latch catch, this indicates fatigued material and that the
Pod Catch/Release (Part # 820-105) must be replaced by an autho-
rized KMDSI dealer. Periodic replacement of the Pod Catch/Release
should be done as part of your scheduled maintenance.
Currently we are developing several different pod configurations for
both open circuit and rebreather use. For further information, see theFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ) area on our website at:

Definitions of Signal Words
Used in this Guide
STOPClean this mask using only the procedures described in this Users Guide.
Never use cleaning solvents or petroleum-based chemicals on this mask.
WARNING: The M-48 mask is not equipped with a one-way valve (non-
return valve). For surface supplied diving, the diver must be properly trained and
equipped. A manifold block with a one-way valve that is securely fastened to a
harness and bailout system should always be used when surface supply diving. DO
NOT connect an umbilical directly to the M-48 pod regulator. This can create a
direct pull on the mask and pod. ALWAYS connect the umbilical to the one-way
valve mounted on the harness and always securely fasten the umbilical to the harness.
Kirby Morgan Dive Systems, Inc. shall not be held liable for accidents,
and/or injuries, personal or otherwise, including death, as a result of the use,
by any person or persons, of the M-48 and/or any related equipment and/or
accessories. User assumes all liability and is responsible for reading and
understanding this Users Guide; furthermore, user assumes all responsibilities
for understanding the functions of the equipment featured in this Users Guidebefore attempting to use said equipment. Obtain a certification to dive through
a recognized International training agency before attempting to use the M-48
and/or any related equipment.

CAUTION: Avoid spraying canned silicone spray or other aerosol sprays
on or near the mask or pod. Certain chemicals used in the aerosol propellants can
damage some of the plastic components of the mask and pod. Use a pump bottle
instead.
WARNING: The M-48 full face mask is not intended to be used in wa-
ters containing high concentrations of petroleum or chemical contaminants. Wa-
ters containing high concentrations of petroleum, biological or chemical contami-
nation could cause serious, permanent bodily harm to the user. While the M-48 can
reduce the risk of exposure to certain chemical and biological contamination, it
should not be relied on to keep the user safe. Diving in contaminated water is
extremely hazardous and requires specialized training and equipment.
Using the M-48 full-face mask is very easy, but as with all new equipment,
training and practice is the key to safe diving. The use of SCUBA or surface-
supplied diving equipment by uncertified or untrained divers is extremely hazardous,
and could result in serious injury and/or death. This mask should only be used by
divers who have been trained and certified to dive by credible training or certification
organizations. Newly certified divers and divers not experienced in full face mask
diving should seek training from a competent training organization. All users should
practice donning, doffing, Pod removal, and replacement procedures on the surface
in a dry environment before attempting the same procedures in the water. Once the
basic maneuvers have been practiced and the user is comfortable, the user can
move into a calm, shallow body of water (4-10 feet in depth). It is recommended
that persons with previous full-face mask experience make at least one 30 minute
indoctrination dive prior to open-water use.

If your M-48 came with a Kirby Morgan SuperFlow Second Stage Demand
Regulator, and Users Guide (part number 100-133) for the demand regulator,
please read and understand the Users Guide prior to diving, and retain it for future
reference. The regulator Users Guide explains the features and functions, as well
as general care and maintenance. It also includes a parts breakdown sketch and list.
If your SuperMask came without a second stage regulator, a properly functioning
and certified second stage regulator must be mounted on the pod prior to diving.
WARNING: Though designed to primarily be used with the Kirby
Morgan SuperFlow demand regulator, the M-48 SCUBA pod (part # 805-015) is
also compatible with many other brands of demand regulators. Only use regulators
matching the specifications called out in this guide on page 18. Other demand
regulators may not fit properly, or their performance may be compromised by
attachment to the M-48 Pod.

CLEANING THE LENS
Remove any debris (which can interfere with the divers vision) from the
interior of the mask and face port .
Under certain conditions, depending upon water temperature, you may find
it necessary to prep the mask lens to keep it from fogging while diving. There
are a number of commercial defoggers available for SCUBA diving which
work well. Follow the directions on the label for use. If no commercial
preparation is available, it is possible to use liquid dish washing soap. Use
a small amount of liquid soap on a rag and smear a thin film on the inside of
the lens, and lightly rinse. Do not rinse the entire soap film off, but be surelens is clear. Apply the soap just prior to entering the water.
DEFOGGING THE MASK
DONNING THE MASK
Hold the M-48 so that it is hanging
from the Head Harness.

First Method:
Align the Pod onto the Pod Frame, and
close the Catch/Release. Insure that the
Pod is snapped onto the second tooth
of the Hook.
There are two ways to hook the
Pod to the mask and two methods
of Latching the Pod to the Mask.
The first method of hooking the
Pod is usually used when not in
the water. The second method can
be of help when in the water.

IN WATER TIPS
If the Pod is removed, the second method ofHooking the Pod allows the diver
more time to get sealed.
If you are wearing heavy gloves, the second method ofLatching the Pod (p.14)works best.
To equalize using heavy gloves, use both thumbs, or both index fingers, and place
one on each side of the nose and push together. Another method is to push upward
on the top part of the Pod Frame so that the nose pocket seals under the nose.
To purge the water out of the lens cavity, press on the top of the Lens and exhale
through the nose as traditionally taught, or gently pinch the nose pocket and pull
outward. The water will then exit through the Purge Valve in the Pod.
There are many different types and manufacturers of diving hoods. The thicker,neoprene-type (wet suit) should be worn on the outside of the face seal so that the
upper lip seal is not held off. The thinner, latex rubber-type (as found on some dry
suits) may be worn under the face seal, but check for comfort and an upper lip
seal.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE OF THE REGULATOR
Follow the manufacturers recommendations on periodic maintenance of your
regulator.
POST DIVE PROCEDURES
The mask should be rinsed thoroughly with fresh, clean water and the post dive
procedures followed after each day of diving.
Thoroughly rinse the entire interior and exterior of the mask and pod with warm,
fresh, clean water to remove any salt deposits or other substances. Insure that all
the salt, sand and debris are removed from the regulator as well.
If the mask is equipped with communications, proper manufacturers post-dive
procedures should be followed.
Gently blow dry the mask and pod with compressed air, or let air dry completely.
CAUTION: DO NOT dry in direct sunlight or let mask sit in direct sun-light for long periods of time, as this will degrade the plastic and rubber.
Towel dry the Lens to avoid spotting.
Inspect the mask for damaged, worn or missing parts.
STORAGE OF THE MASK
The Pod should be stored on the Mask. The Catch / Release should only be snapped
onto the first tooth of the Hook for storage.
The Mask with Pod should be stored at room temperature and out of direct sun
light.
NOTE: For masks with clear mask skirts, a gradual yellowing of the skirt over the
life of the mask is a natural occurrence.

CAUTION : Not all second stage regulators can be safely mounted in the
pod. The size of the mouthpiece mounting tube and the placement and size of the
exhaust tee can affect the mounting and proper functioning of the mouthpiece and
folding action on the pod bellow. Remove the mouthpiece from the regulator and
loosely fit the regulator in the pod. Checkto insure that it functions properly, with
no interference from, or to, the exhaust tee.
DO NOT USE REGULATORS THAT HAVEMOUNT TUBES SHAPED LIKE THOSE SHOWN
IN FIG. 2.
ONLY USE REGULATORS THAT HAVE A

WARNING: Since there are no standards that govern the size and shape of
the second stage regulator mouthpiece mounting tubes, there are many different
types. To properly mount the regulator into the pod, the mouthpiece mount tube
must have a retaining lip at the end and be at least 3/4 long (Fig.1, pg 19). Some
manufacturers have specially-shaped mouthpiece mounting tubes that have mating
mouthpieces. These types ofregulators cannot be used (Fig. 2, pg 19). There must
be a retaining lip at the end of the mouthpiece mounting tube of your regulator
in order toretain the mouthpiece. Use the included Mouthpiece to checkthe
mount tube compatibility.
Once the mouthpiece has been cor-
rectly mounted into the pod, push the
regulator mount tube into the mouth-
piece. Insure that the retaining lip on
the regulator mount tube is correctly
located behind the tie wrap area of the
mouthpiece and pod.
Install the M-48 Mouthpiece into
the mount tube mounting area. In-sure that it is straight.

INSTALLING COMMUNICATIONS
Once the tie wrap is secured, trim offthe excess using a small wire cutter.
Make sure that there are no sharp
corners left after trimming.
WARNING:The regulator and
mouthpiece must be correctly mountedand secured to the pod prior to diving.
Pull the mouthpiece and the regulator in
opposite directions with enough force to
insurethat theyare bothsecurelymounted
to the pod. If the mouthpiece or regulator
pulls off the pod, even partially, they
must be remounted!
To mount a microphone into the Mask, follow the
manufacturers recommended mounting instructions.
As necessary, using a pair of sharp scissors, cut off
the end of a communications port (see photo). Theseare located low on each side of the Mask Skirt.
Communications are available for the M-48. Either
hard wire or wireless communications can be
mounted in the Mask or Pod. The communications
mounting instructions will vary from manufacturer
to manufacturer. The following procedure is
provided only as a reference.

surface-supplied diving. A manifold block with
a one-way valve that is securely fastened to a
harness and bailout system should always be
used when diving surface-supplied. DO NOT
connect the umbilical directly to the M-48
pod regulator. This can create a direct pullon the mask and pod. Always connect
the umbilical to the one-way valve
mounted on the harness and always se-
curely fasten the umbilical to the harness.
The M-48 mask is not equipped with a
one-way valve (non-return valve). The
Manifold Block Assembly shown comes in
three configurations, DSI Part # 300-150 with
