Usage Below Freezing
When the temperature is below freezing, a fully discharged
cylinder may not adequately inflate your PFD. Do not use your PFD
under these conditions unless it is already partly inflated.
Warning: CO2 inflation could over-pressurize and damage your
PFD if already fully orally inflated.
IS YOUR PFD IN GOOD AND SERVICEABLE
CONDITION?
Check your 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. Inspect the inflatable portion of the PFD in accordance
with the CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The buoyancy cell and inflation system should be checked at least
every three months. In addition, the following maintenance should
be performed after each time you wear or inflate the PFD.
1) Remove and inspect the CO2 cylinder from the inflator.
2) Check all components for dirt or corrosion. Clean or replace.
3) Check that the CO2 cylinder has not been pierced. Replace
with Mustang 33 gram CO2 cylinder if necessary (contained in
inflatable accessory pack MA7113.)
4) Check the manual lever to ensure it is in the up and ready
position with the green indicator pin properly installed.
