Mustang Survival MSD565
Description and Maintenance Instructions
March 7 2003, Rev:--
a. Cut a length of heat-sealing tape exceeding the area to be covered by
approximately 1 inch (25 mm).
b. Round the ends of the tape by trimming with a pair of scissors.
c. Turn the suit inside out; the inner side of the fabric should be facing up. Place the
heat tape (bonding side down) over the hole.
d. Centre the area to be patched on the ironing board or heat press, ensuring that only
one layer of fabric is on the pad or board and that there are no wrinkles in the
fabric.
e. The iron surface temperature should be between 350°F (177°C) and 375°F
(190°C).
NOTE: Use an iron that accurately displays temperature to avoid damage to
the fabric.
If possible, test the temperature setting by ironing a patch or a piece
of heat tape on the inner side of a piece of suit fabric for 25 seconds.
If the patch of tape is properly adhered to the fabric, without burning,
the temperature setting is acceptable.
f. Iron the heat tape for approximately twenty-five seconds and remove the iron.
NOTE: Patches may be overlapped and shall extend at least
1
/
2
inch (12 mm)
beyond the damaged area.
g. Allow the repaired area to stand for a minimum 20 minutes prior to further handling.
h. Test the suit for leakage (see section 1.3).
1.3.9
Replacement of Components
1.3.9.1 When damaged, the following components should be replaced and not repaired.
1.3.10
Immersion Socks
1.3.10.1 Replace the socks as follows:
a. Remove the old seam tape using a heat gun or iron.
b. Pick the sock seam stitching that attaches to the suit leg.
c. Remove the old socks.
d. Fit the replacement sock sub-assembly to the MSD565. Turn the legs of the MSD565
inside out.
NOTE: Due to slight differences in circumference of suit leg and sock opening, it
is recommended that alignment marks be added to both items before
sewing.
Make marks at the front, back, and both sides, equally spaced around the
circumference of both openings.
It may be necessary to manually induce an uneven feeding of materials
into the sewing machine in order to compensate for differences in sock
and suit leg circumferences, minimizing pleats or puckers.
