•Activating the CO2 inflation system

•Re-arming the CO2 inflation system

•Using the oral inflator tube

To check the manual inflation system (with CO2 cylinder removed and green pin or clip removed); determine that the CO2 cylinder piercing pin and arm moves freely when moving the lever (attached to the pull-tab) several times down and up for the MD2010 (Fig. 14) and for MD2012, several times in and out (Fig. 7). Repeat this several times to check the manual inflation system.

MODEL MD2010

The U.S. Coast Guard recommends that you purchase two re-arming kits (MA2010). One kit is to be used immediately in testing the inflation system (see HOW DO YOU TEST YOUR PFD USING THE MANUAL INFLATOR?, (p. 16) and the other to carry on board as a spare.

MODEL MD2012

The U.S. Coast Guard recommends that you purchase two automatic re-arming kits (MA2012). One kit is to be used immediately in testing the automatic inflation system (see HOW DO YOU TEST YOUR PFD USING THE AUTOMATIC INFLATOR?, p. 16) and the other to carry on board as a spare.

The U.S. Coast Guard recommends you test the automatic inflation system in the water at the beginning of each boating season. By doing this, you demonstrate that the automatic inflation system is still working properly and reduce the likelihood of premature inflation and its associated dangers.
