Inflating the LP
WARNING: When using the MD1250 LP in temperatures below freezing, fully discharging the CO2 cylinder may not provide adequate inflation. To compensate, use the oral inflator tube to
NOTE: After inflating both MD1250 LPs, secure them to each other with the Velcro® attachment straps on the forward edge of each inflation cell.
Manual Inflation
To manually activate the hydrostatic inflator, jerk firmly downward on the beaded manual inflation handle. The LP should inflate within five seconds.
Auto-Inflation
CAUTION: If the MD1250 LP has been orally inflated, CO2 inflation could
When the uninflated LP is submerged in water, the hydrostatic inflator releases CO2 into the inflation cell, inflating the LP.
Special Considerations
•Double
•Inflation while stored in a tight space.
•Inflation while in an awkward place or position.
Oral Inflation
Although a properly armed LP will correctly inflate manually or automatically, the inflation CO2 escapes slowly through the fabric and a slight reduction in pressure is apparent several hours after inflation. Therefore, oral top‑up inflation may be required during prolonged immersion (or in a non‑emergency situation). To orally inflate the LP:
1.If necessary, open the zippers completely, and unfold the inflation cell.
2.Locate the oral inflation tube, and turn the locking ring clockwise to open the inflator valve and unlock the mouthpiece.
3.Press (and hold) the mouthpiece down, and blow into the tube until the LP is fully inflated.
