Care and attention should be taken to ensure that when the
device is used in these types of conditions, auto-inflation does not
occur prematurely.
If this PFD should inflate prematurely, a re-arm kit (MA2014) is
required to re-arm the device.
IMPORTANT: The Inflatable PFD should be re-armed
according to the instructions (see "Re-arming Your PFD
(MD2016)" on page 10).
DEFLATING THE INFLATABLE PFD
1) To deflate the Inflatable PFD, reverse the oral-inflation tube dust
cap and insert it into the valve. The dust cap will not lock in the
deflate position so it is necessary to hold it in place (Fig. 5).
2) Gently squeeze the Inflatable PFD until all air or gas has been
expelled. To avoid damage, do not wring or twist the Inflatable
PFD. Put the inflation tube dust cap back in its stowed position on
the oral inflation tube (Fig. 6).
3) Examine the service indicator (Fig. 1). If the service indicator is
red, the mechanism has been fired or is incorrectly fitted and the
inflator requires service (see Re-arming your PFD (for your model)).
NOTE: The service indicator must be green before
proceeding.
4) Your device is ready to be repacked (see "Repacking" on page
13).
