iii)Visually examine your Inflatable PFD for damage or excessive abrasion, wear, tear or contamination. Particular attention must be paid to the stitching, straps and hardware. If in doubt, send it to your Mustang dealer for evaluation and/or servicing.

2)Every Two (2) Months:

i)Leak Test: The Inflatable PFD should be tested for general leakage by orally inflating your Inflatable PFD until firm and let stand 16 hours.

CAUTION: To avoid accidental inflation, don't allow the water to contact the hydrostatic inflator.

iii)Perform a thorough visual examination. See Readiness Checklist (p. 3).

Perform these tests more often if exposed to potential damage or used in extreme conditions.
