COMPONENT INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Look through the inflator window panel (Fig. 1). Ensure the
indicator is green. If the single point status indicator (Fig.
2 for MD3153 and MD3154, or Fig. 2a for MD3151) is red, the
mechanism has been fired or is incorrectly fitted (see Re-arming
Your PFD, p. 9).
THE SINGLE POINT STATUS INDICATOR MUST BE GREEN BEFORE PROCEEDING.
2. Undo the zipper on the wearer’s left side, exposing the
oral inflator.
3. Ensure the oral inflation cap is in the stowed position
(Fig. 7 on p. 8).
4. Ensure the single point status indicator is green and the pull-
tab lanyard is hanging on the outside; secure the zippers on the
Inflatable PFD (see Repacking Your PFD, p. 14).
5. Ensure the current date is not past the date on the inflator.
If it is, replace the inflator (see Re-arming Your PFD, p. 9).
