To become more familiar with the MD1270 and its component parts:
1. Open the zippers completely, unfold the inflation cell, and place
each life preserver on a clean, flat surface with the inflator and
oral tube face up (Figure 4).
2. Check to ensure the ring beneath the oral inflator tube
mouthpiece is turned counterclockwise and the mouthpiece is
locked to prevent inadvertent deflation (Figure 5).
3. Check to ensure the white witness thread is present on the
inflator actuating arm (Figure 3).
4. Unthread and inspect the end of the CO
2
cylinder to confirm a
full, unused, cylinder has been installed (Figure 6).
5. Repack the PFD – see Repacking the PFD (page 11).
