Care and attention should be taken to ensure that when the device is used in these types of conditions, auto-inflation does not occur inadvertantly.

If this Inflatable PFD (MD2012) should inflate prematurely, a re-arm kit (MA2012) is required to re-arm the device.

Important: The Inflatable PFD should be re-armed according to the instructions (Re-arming Your PFD as Manual with Automatic Backup (MD2012).

The automatic inflator bobbin should be replaced at least once every twelve months.

Re-arming Your PFD as Manual with Automatic Backup (MD2012)

See Fig.15 for referenced parts in each step.

Step 1: Unpack or open the life vest so that the automatic inflator is visible.

Step 2: Remove empty gas CO2 cylinder by firmly rotating cylinder counterclockwise. Discard cylinder.

Step 3: Remove clear cap by turning counterclockwise.

Step 4: Remove bobbin (yellow) from cap or housing unit. If the bobbin is used, damaged, or more than 4 years old, discard it. Store unused bobbins in a cool dry area when not in use. Check the housing to be sure it is clear and dry.

Note: The bobbin (yellow) body may remain in the housing or in the cap assembly when you remove the cap. The bobbin body must be removed prior to assembly.

Step 5: Check the date on the bobbin in the rearm kit. The date should not be over four (4) years from today’s date.

Step 6: IMPORTANT! Bobbin (yellow) must be installed into the Housing (see Fig 15), white side down facing away from the inflator towards the cap (clear), aligning the slots on the bobbin with the ridges inside the threaded housing. The bobbin will slide in easily if installed correctly.
