1)To test your Inflatable PFD, you will need your fully armed Inflatable PFD, and re-arming kit approved for your Inflatable PFD: MA7203 for models MD3081 and MD3082, MA7202 for models MD3083 and MD3084.

2)Put on the Inflatable PFD.

3)Actuate the inflation system by jerking firmly downward on the pull-tab. The Inflatable PFD should fully inflate within 5 seconds.

4)Get into shallow water, just deep enough that you can stand with your head above the surface.

5)See if the Inflatable PFD will float you on your back or just slightly back of vertical. In a relaxed floating position, verify that your mouth is well above the water’s surface. Note the effect of where you hold your legs and how you float.

6)Get out of the water and remove the Inflatable PFD. Completely deflate the Inflatable PFD using the oral inflator (see Deflating the

Inflatable PFD p. 7). Remove the CO2 cylinder/bayonet assembly from the inflator.
