IS YOUR PfD IN GOOD AND SERVICEAbLE
CONDITION?
Check your Inflatable PfD between outings to be sure that it is
properly armed; that it is free of rips, tears or holes; that all seams
are securely sewn; and that the fabric, straps and hardware are still
strong (See Readiness Checklist, p. 3). Inspect the inflatable portion of
the Inflatable PfD in accordance with the CARE AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS.
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 (MD3071), p.7.
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
