cover panel of the Inflatable PfD. Remove the dust cap from the
end of the oral tube and blow into the tube until the Inflatable
PfD is fully inflated.
Place the oral inflator dust cap back in the stowed position (fig.

WARNING: Avoid double inflation (CO

cylinder inflation
after full oral inflation) as it could damage the PFD.
Deflating the Inflatable PFD
1) To deflate the Inflatable PfD, reverse the oral-inflation tube dust
cap and insert it into the valve or depress valve with fingertip. 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 (MD3071)).
NOTE: The service indicator must be green before
proceeding.
