Testing the Automatic Inflator

NOTE: A left/right pair of fully armed MD1250 LPs and two MA7214-10 re-arm kits are required for this test.

1.Attach the LPs to the left and right sides (see Wearing the LP).

2.Enter water of an appropriate depth to keep the head above the surface.

3.When submerged in water, the hydrostatic manual/automatic inflator releases CO2 into the inflation cell, inflating the LP.

4.Don the inflated LP (see Donning the LP).

5.Ensure the LPs float the user just slightly back of vertical in a relaxed position with the mouth well above the surface of the water, and experiment with different leg positions to become familiar with changes in buoyancy and/or flotation characteristics.

6.Exit the water, remove the LPs, and completely deflate them – see Deflating the LP.

7.Let the LPs dry thoroughly, then re-arm and repack them – see Re-arming the LP, and Repacking the LP.

CAUTION: If in doubt about self inspection and servicing of the MD1250 LP in accordance with these instructions, or of any test or inspection results, take the LP to a Mustang Survival dealer for professional servicing.

Cleaning and Storing the LP

CAUTION: To avoid accidental auto-inflation when cleaning the MD1250 LP, do not submerge it in water and do not spray liquid on the inflator.

NOTE: Do not dry clean the MD1250 LP.

1.Hand wash or sponge down the LP in warm, soapy fresh water.

2.Rinse the LP and inflator with clean fresh water, using a clean cloth.

3.Hang the LP to dry on a plastic coat hanger.

4.Store the LP in a warm, dry place out of direct sunlight.
