unknown, check the date printed on the bobbin and replace if older than three (3) years (see Re-arming Your PFD (MD3083 and MD3084), p. 10).

7)IMPORTANT! Bobbin (yellow) must be installed into the HOUSING (**see figure 10), white side up, aligning the slots on the bobbin with the ridges inside the threaded housing. The bobbin will slide in easily if installed correctly.

8)Install cap by screwing clockwise until it meets the housing shoulder.

9)Check the new cylinder/bayonet assembly to ensure the o-ring is in place and the sensor ring is attached (Figs. 10 and 11). Ensure that the CO2 cylinder has not been pierced (Fig. 11).

Caution: Do not use the cylinder/bayonet assembly if either the o-ring or sensor ring is broken, missing or damaged.

IMPORTANT: You will damage the sensor ring if bobbin and cap are not installed first.

10)Push, and hold, the lever into the inflator housing. The pull-cord should be situated in the groove (Fig. 12). Install a new cylinder/ bayonet assembly by engaging bayonet tabs in housing, pushing in then turning clockwise 1/8 turn to a full stop (Fig. 12).

WARNING: PFD WILL ONLY INFLATE IF CYLINDER IS TURNED TO A FULL STOP.

11)Examine the service indicator (Fig. 10) and ensure it is GREEN. If the service indicator is red, the mechanism has been fired or is incorrectly fitted and the inflator requires service. See Re-arming Your PFD (MD3083 and MD3084) (p. 10).

NOTE: The service indicator must be green before proceeding.
