RE-ARMING (MD4032)
To re-arm your flotation device, you will need Mustang Survival’s
Re-Arm Kit MA4031. The spent inflation parts will first be removed,
and replacement parts will be installed. The re-arm kit includes:
• 17g CO
2
cylinder
• Bobbin
1. Place your flotation device on a flat surface with the bottom of
the device facing you.
2. Open the inflator cover to expose the automatic
inflator (Fig. 9).
3. Remove the cylinder/bayonet assembly by turning it
counterclockwise and then pulling it out.
Discard the used
cylinder/bayonet assembly.
4. Remove the cap by turning counterclockwise. (Fig. 9).
5. Remove yellow bobbin from cap or housing unit.
Discard the
bobbin.
(Make sure to
completely
remove the bobbin from the
housing and the cap assembly before re-arming. If any part of the
bobbin remains, you cannot properly re-arm your flotation device.)
6. Check the housing to be sure it is clear and dry. If necessary,
rinse the inflator with fresh water to remove dirt and salt. Let dry
before going to step 7.
7. Inspect the bobbin. If the bobbin has been fired or damaged,
replace it! Ensure the new bobbin is valid. It must have been
purchased within the last three years. If you do not know the
purchase date, check the date printed on the bobbin. If it is earlier
than three years ago, replace the bobbin.
