Repacking section (p.13).

3)Annually - Perform the following at the beginning of each boating season, after cell inflation, or whenever the integrity of the inflatable cell is in doubt:

i)Check all components for dirt or corrosion. Clean or replace.

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

iii)To check the oral inflation valve, fully inflate the Inflatable PFD and hold valve under water. If bubbles appear, deflate and re-inflate to test again. Should the leak persist, take your Inflatable PFD to your Mustang dealer for evaluation and/or servicing.

iv)Check that the CO2 cylinder/bayonet assembly has not been pierced. Ensure the o-ring is in place and the sensor ring is intact

on the bayonet (Fig. 10). If necessary, replace with 33-gram CO2 cylinder/bayonet assembly (contained in appropriate re-arm kit).

v)Record as an "Annual" inspection in permanent ink on the Care and Storage label, in the Maintenance Date column.

Re-assemble inflation system parts and repack the Inflatable PFD as outlined in the Repacking section (p.13).

Warning: If you are not confident in the self-inspection and servicing of your Inflatable PFD in accordance with these instructions, take your Inflatable PFD to a Mustang dealer for professional servicing or contact Mustang Survival (see contact information on back of manual).

Cleaning and Storing of Your Inflatable PFD (MD3081 and MD3082)

To clean your Inflatable PFD, remove the CO2 cylinder/bayonet assembly. Hand wash or sponge down the Inflatable PFD in warm, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Hang to dry on a plastic coat hanger. Be sure to replace CO2 cylinder/bayonet assembly. See Re-arming your PFD (MD3081 and MD3082) (p. 8).
