Re-arming Your PFD After Manual Inflation (MD2010)

1.To re-arm your Mustang Inflatable PFD, unscrew and discard the used CO2 cylinder.

2.To check that the inflator is fully operational, pull down on the lanyard and see if the piercing pin travels freely (Fig. 14). Both the pin and the lever should easily return to their original position.

3.After using your Mustang Inflatable PFD, always rinse it with tap water to remove dirt and salt. Let the PFD air-dry before re-arming with new CO2 cylinder.

4.Make sure the manual lever is in the up-and- ready position and the green indicator pin has been replaced. Screw the new CO2 cylinder hand tight into the inflator. Do not over-tighten as this can damage the internal gasket.

5.Refold the PFD according to the repacking instructions.

Special Consideration for Automatic Devices (MD2012)

Premature automatic inflation causes several risks that you must address to avoid drowning. The PFD might not be armed when needed, either knowingly or unknowingly. Much less common but also important are:

1.Double inflation (CO2 cylinder inflation after full oral inflation) could damage the PFD,

2.Inflation when stored in a tight space could damage the PFD, and

3.The PFD could inflate when you are in an awkward place or position. Inadvertant inflation may occur in certain conditions, including when the device is:

• Subjected to splashing	• In heavy fog
• In high humidity	• In the rain
