Technical Addendum – A2.1 Checklist (Sections 1–4)

This addendum provides a concise technical description of the inspection and maintenance actions referenced in Sections 1–4 of the A2.1 checklist for the Kirby Morgan® KMB 18/28 BandMask®. It is intended as a procedural reference to support the completed checklist and does not replace the KMDSI Modular Operations and Maintenance Manuals.

1. Hood Assembly
The head harness (spider) is removed and inspected for tearing, deterioration, and missing legs. Earphones are removed from hood pockets and the hood is separated from the mask to permit full visual inspection. The hood is inspected for cuts, abrasion, or material breakdown. Top and bottom bands are removed and all metal parts of the band assembly, band keeper components, and band screws are inspected for damage or corrosion. Replace components if condition is not acceptable.

2. Mask Assembly
The mask exterior and interior are inspected for loose/missing fasteners and structural damage (cracks, gouges, deformation). Earphone covers and microphone are removed from the oral nasal mask; components are inspected and a communications check is performed. The nose clearing device is removed; pad and shaft are cleaned/inspected and O-rings are replaced. The oral nasal mask and valve assembly are removed, cleaned and inspected; the valve is replaced and reinstalled correctly. For KMB 18, the comfort insert and fastening hardware are cleaned and inspected (N/A for KMB 28). The bent tube is removed; O-rings at both ends are replaced and the tube is inspected for damage/corrosion/erosion and replaced if integrity is in question. The demand regulator with whisker wings and exhaust main body is removed as an assembly. The exhaust system is fully disassembled, cleaned and inspected; rubber components are replaced if required and exhaust valves are replaced. The face port retainer, face port and O-ring are removed. Perform the view port insert pull test; complete and include the Port Insert Test Sheet (A2.1) with the certificate record. Replace the view port O-ring and follow corrective action if inserts fail. Band keeper mounts are installed if removed. The main exhaust/dewatering valve is replaced and the seating surface is inspected.

3. Side Block
The one-way valve is removed, disassembled, overhauled and reinstalled. The umbilical adapter is removed/discarded and replaced. EGS and steady flow valve components are disassembled and overhauled as required. Removal of the side block itself is not mandatory for annual service unless condition dictates otherwise.

4. Demand Regulator
The demand regulator is disassembled and the regulator body is inspected for corrosion/contamination and cleaned as necessary. Clean and inspect all parts; replace all O-rings and the inlet valve seat and discard any single-use parts. Reassemble and ensure the adjustment shaft rotates smoothly without binding. Install the exhaust main body and attach whiskers correctly. Mount the regulator to the mask, install the bent tube with replaced washer/O-ring, reinstall the oral nasal mask/valve assembly/nose block device, then function-test and fine tune as necessary.
