INFLATABLE PFD
INFLATING YOUR PFD (CONT'D)
3. ORAL INFLATION
Properly armed and inspected inflatable PFDs will inflate when
manually or automatically activated. However, you can fully
inflate the PFD by mouth (Fig. 5) should inflation not occur, or
if you are in a non-emergency situation.
i. To orally inflate the PFD, first ensure that both of the two
zippers are completely opened.
ii. Locate the oral inflation tube by opening the wearer’s left
front panel. Remove the cap from the end of the oral tube
and blow into the tube until the PFD is fully inflated.
WARNING: DOUBLE INFLATION – DO NOT MANUALLY ACTIVATE THE INFLATOR
WHEN YOUR PFD IS FILLED WITH AIR. DOING SO WILL RESULT IN EXCESSIVELY
HIGH PRESSURE WITHIN THE INFLATION CHAMBER, WHICH MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT DAMAGE.
WHEN YOUR PFD IS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH AIR, THE
INFLATOR MAY NOT AUTOMATICALLY INFLATE WHEN EXPOSED TO WATER.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR INFLATABLE DEVICES
The inflatable PFD might not be armed when needed, either
knowingly or unknowingly. Inadvertant inflation causes several
risks that you must address to avoid drowning. Much less common
but also important are:
1. Double inflation (CO
2
cylinder inflation after full oral inflation)
could damage the PFD.
2. Inflation when stored in a tight space could damage the PFD.
3. The PFD could inflate when you are in an awkward place
or position.
If this PFD should inflate inadvertently, a re-arm kit is required to
re-arm the device (MA7214 for models MD3183 and MD3184, and
MA3181 for model MD3181).
THE INFLATABLE PFD SHOULD ALWAYS BE RE-ARMED ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS (SEE RE-ARMING YOUR PFD, P. 9).
