IS YOUR PFD IN GOOD AND SERVICEABLE CONDITION?
Check your PFD between outings to be sure that:
• it is properly armed
• it is free of rips, tears or holesall seams are securely sewn; and
• the fabric, straps and hardware are still strong.
Inspect the inflatable portion of the PFD in accordance with Care and
maintenance, (p. 29).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To ensure your PFD performs when you need it, you must care for
and maintain it in serviceable condition (see “Mandatory carriage
requirements,” p. 7). Failure to follow these instructions rigorously
could result in a non-functioning PFD causing injury or death. We
suggest you keep a record of the inspections performed on your
PFD – using permanent ink on the Care and Storage label behind the
head pillow of your PFD. If you are not confident that you can care for
and maintain your PFD in accordance with these instructions, contact
Mustang Survival customer service.
You are required to check this PFD:
• Before each wear (component inspection)
• Every two months (leak test, oral inflation valve test, and thorough
visual examination)
• After each inflation (perform re-arm)
• Annually (suggested at beginning of each boating season)
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Check the following at the intervals listed below. If in doubt, contact
Mustang Survival customer service.
BEFORE EACH WEAR:
See Inspecting Components, (p. 10) for instructions. If you see any
signs of damage, perform the Every two months tests below.
EVERY TWO MONTHS
The following three tests are suggested every two months or
whenever you see signs of damage to your PFD. Perform these tests
more often if the PFD is exposed to potential damage or used in
extreme conditions.
