6)Inspect the bobbin. If the bobbin has been fired or damaged, replace it! Ensure the new bobbin is valid, it must have been purchased within the last three (3) years. If the bobbin purchase date is unknown, check the date printed on the bobbin and replace if older than three (3) years (see Re-arming Your PFD (MD3087), p. 10).

7)IMPORTANT! Bobbin (yellow) must be installed into the HOUSING (**see figure 9), 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 (Fig. 9). Ensure that the CO2 cylinder has not been pierced (Fig. 10).

10)Push, and hold, the lever into the inflator housing. The pull-cord should be situated in the groove (Fig. 11). 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. 11).

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

11)Examine the service indicator (Fig. 9) 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
