2.13BALLISTIC LINER ATTACHMENT POINTS

2.13.1The MSV971 has built-in provisions for adding an optional ballistic liner accessory to the inside of the survival vest. The vest has two zippers running along the inside of the main opening and a Velcro™ tab at the inner neck that secure the ballistic liner.

NOTE: Depending on the thickness of the liner used, switching to a larger sized survival vest may be necessary when worn with a ballistic liner.

2.14OPERATION

CAUTION: Over-pressurization will over-stress the inflatable cell. Both chambers of the cell must be completely evacuated of any residual air or carbon dioxide gas prior to CO2 inflation.

2.14.1Manual operation of the life preserver is accomplished by grasping the beaded inflation handle located on the lower left side of the protective container. Jerking sharply downwards rotates the operating lever of the CO2 inflation device, which in turn forces the piercing pin to puncture the neck of the CO2 cylinder and allow the compressed gas to flow into the inflatable cell.

The MSV971 is an appropriate platform for a wide variety of customized LP/SV units to address user requirements that include:

•use in ejection seat fitted aircraft

•use with an automation inflation device

•stowage of unique pieces/combinations of survival equipment Contact Mustang Survival for further details.
