•Red indicates the inflator has been fired and must be re-armed before the LP can be used – see Re-arming.
To become more familiar with the LP components:
1.Open both zippers completely, and place the LP on a smooth, flat surface with the oral tube facing the user.
2.Ensure the oral inflator dust cap is in the stowed position (Figure 3).
3.Visually inspect the expiry date on the inflator (Figure 4). If the expiry date has passed, replace the inflator – see Re-arming.
NOTE: If the expiry date has passed, Mustang Survival recommends water testing the LP to become familiar with LP functionality.
4.Repack the LP – see Repacking.
