INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

This manual supplies instructional, maintenance, and safety
information for models MD3181, MD3183, and MD3184. The model
number is listed on the underside label.

UNINSPECTED COMMERCIAL VESSEL USE

This inflatable PFD is not approved for “hot work,” and care must be
taken to avoid damage from abrasion and sharp objects.

INSPECTING COMPONENTS

1. Examine the single point

status indicator through the
window panel (Fig. 1). Ensure
the indicator is green. If the
indicator (Fig. 2 for MD3183
and MD3184, or 2a for MD3181)
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).

4. Ensure the single point status

indicator is green and the
pull-tab lanyard is hanging
on the outside; secure the
zippers on the PFD (see
Repacking Your PFD, p. 13).

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).
