for instructions. Failure to follow these instructions rigorously could result in a non-functioning PFD causing injury or death.

Check the following at the intervals listed below.

1)Before Each Use:

i)Examine the service indicator through the window panel, ensuring it is green. If the indicator is red, the mechanism requires service. See Re-arming Your PFD (your model), p. 8 or 10.

ii)Ensure the manual pull-tab is accessible.

iii)Visually examine your Inflatable PFD for damage or excessive abrasion, wear, tear or contamination. Particular attention must be paid to the stitching, straps and hardware. If in doubt, send it to your Mustang dealer for evaluation and/or servicing.

2)Every Two (2) Months:

i)Leak Test: The Inflatable PFD should be tested for general leakage by orally inflating your Inflatable PFD until firm and let stand for 16 hours. A leaking Inflatable PFD will not hold its firmness and should be replaced. If your Inflatable PFD leaks, take it to your Mustang dealer for evaluation and/or servicing. Repack the Inflatable PFD as outlined in the Repacking section (p. 13).

ii)Oral Inflation Valve Test: To check the oral inflation valve, fully inflate the Inflatable PFD using the oral inflator and hold valve under water. If bubbles appear, deflate and re-inflate to test again. Should the leak persist, take your Inflatable PFD to your Mustang dealer for evaluation and/or servicing.

CAUTION: To avoid accidental inflation, don't allow the water to contact the inflator (MD3087).

iii)Perform a thorough visual examination. See Readiness Checklist (p. 4).

Perform these tests more often if exposed to potential damage or used in extreme conditions.

3)After Each Inflation - Re-arm the Inflatable PFD. See Re-arming Your PFD (your model), p. 8 or 10.
