Deflating the Buoyancy

Cell

To deflate the buoyancy cell, reverse the

 

oral-inflation tube dust cap and insert it into

 

the valve or depress valve with fingertip. The

 

dust cap will not lock in the deflate position

 

so it is necessary to hold it in place (Fig.5).

 

Gently squeeze the cell until all air or gas

 

has been expelled. Put the inflation tube

 

dust cap back in its normal position on the

 

oral inflation tube (Fig.1d).

Repacking Your Inflatable PFD

Before repacking, completely deflate the inflation cell. Force excess air out through the inflation tube (Fig. 5). Do not wring cell. Put the inflation tube cap back in the normal stowed position

(Fig. 1d).

Note: Before following the repacking sequence, be sure to properly rearm your inflatable PFD .

Warning: Ensure the lanyard and pull tab are not twisted around the inflator or cylinder before re-packing. Ensure attachment webbing, between the bladder and pouch, is not twisted before re-packing.

1)Lay the bladder and pouch out on a flat surface with the bladder’s inflator and oral tube facing the flat surface (Fig.6a).

2)Fold the bladder into thirds using the dotted lines printed on the bladder. Start with Fold #1, then Fold #2. Ensure the tie tapes and whistle are folded in (Fig.6a).

3)Starting at the top of bladder, make your next fold at the dotted line screened on the bladder (Fig 6b, Fold #3). Fold on the next dotted line (Fold #4). Continue folding the bladder toward the pouch (Fig.6c).
