d) Whenever the integrity of the suit is in doubt.
Outer Shell
Inspect the outer shell over its entire surface area for cuts, tears and seam separations.
Any damage found should be repaired prior to further use.
Head Pillow
Check inflatable head support for damage and ensure that it is properly
attached. Check inflation hose(s) for deterioration or leaks. The head support/
buoyancy ring should be inflated and tested for leaks at least every three
months:
a) Inflate the bladder, then immerse it in water and check for bubbles. (Ensure that
the suit is completely dry inside and out before returning it to its bag.)
b) Inflate the bladder, let it stand for 8 hours and then check it for firmness.
Minor leaks can be repaired by a suitable repair station using aquaseal adhesive.
Major leaks should be evaluated and repaired by Mustang Survival.
Retro-reflective Tape
Check retro-reflective tape for condition and adhesion. Replace if necessary. For
best adhesion, repair should be completed by a suitable repair station or sent
back to Mustang Survival.
Immersion Module
Inspect the immersion module over its entire surface area for cuts, tears and seam tape
separations. Return the immersion module to Mustang Survival for repairs or replacement.
Zipper
Check for ease of zipper operation by sliding it up and down. Using lubricant
recommended by Mustang Survival (see page 13), lubricate the front and back of
the zipper and the slide fastener. If the zipper is not functional, the suit must be
removed from service and discarded or returned to Mustang Survival for repair.
Thermal Liner
Inspect the thermal liner over its entire surface area for cuts, tears and seam
separations. Any damage should be repaired prior to further use.
