INFLATABLE PFD
EVERY THREE MONTHS
• Perform a thorough inspection:
– Examine the single point status indicator through the window
panel. Ensure the indicator is green. If the indicator is red,
the mechanism requires service (see “Re-arming Your PFD,”
page 10).
– Ensure the current date is not past the date on the inflator. If
the current date is past the date on the inflator, replace the
inflator (see “Re-arming Your PFD,” page 10, step 4).
– The inflator’s water inlet channel is clear of obstruction.
– Ensure both zipper stops are in place under Velcro
TM
tab.
– Visually check for rips, tears, excessive abrasion, fading, or
holes. Check the seams for secure attachment. Ensure the
hardware is not deformed. If the device shows damage, it may
need servicing or replacement.
– Tug on seams, straps, and attachments to ensure they are
still strong.
• Leak Test:
Test your PFD for general leakage by orally inflating
until firm and letting stand for 16 hours. A leaking inflatable PFD
will not hold its firmness and should be replaced or taken to your
Mustang dealer for evaluation and/or servicing. Repack the PFD as
outlined in the repacking section, page 14.
CONDUCT THESE TESTS MORE OFTEN IF THE PFD IS EXPOSED TO POTENTIAL DAMAGE
OR USED IN EXTREME CONDITIONS.
