Usage Below Freezing

When the temperature is below freezing, a fully discharged cylinder may not adequately inflate your PFD. Do not

use your PFD under these conditions unless it is already partly inflated.

Warning: CO2 inflation could over-pressurize and damage your PFD if already fully orally inflated.

IS YOUR PFD IN GOOD AND SERVICEABLE CONDITION?

Check your PFD between outings to be sure that it is properly armed; that it is free of rips, tears or holes; that all seams are securely sewn; and that the fabric, straps and hardware are still strong. Inspect the inflatable portion of the PFD in accordance

with the CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

The buoyancy cell and inflation system should be checked at least every three months. In addition, the following maintenance should be performed after each time you wear or inflate the PFD.

1)Remove and inspect the CO2 cylinder from the inflator.

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

3)Check that the CO2 cylinder has not been pierced. Replace with Mustang 33 gram CO2 cylinder if necessary (contained in inflatable accessory pack MA7170.)

4)Check the manual lever to ensure it is in the up and ready position with the green indicator pin properly installed.
