Repacking

IMPORTANT: Carefully read the entire Repacking instructions to achieve a properly packed Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM

If your Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM has been used and/or the hydrostatic inflator replaced, always inflate through the oral tube and check that it stays inflated at least overnight. With the dust cap in the top of the oral tube, gently squeeze the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM until all air or gas has been expelled (Fig. 11). Do not wring or twist the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM. Put the oral tube dust cap back in its stowed position on the oral tube (Fig. 22). Let the life jacket dry before packing.

1)Before repacking:

•Completely deflate the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM (see Deflation p. 11).

•Remove the optional harness (MA1900), if equipped.

NOTE: Before following the repacking sequence, be sure to properly re-arm your Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM See Re-arming

Your PFD (p.13).

2)Ensure the oral-inflation dust cap is fitted in the stowed position (Fig. 22).

3)Open both front panel covers. Adjust the waist belt and chest belt buckles to their full lengths so that the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM is laid out flat (Fig. 23 shows the right lobe, as worn).
