Securing The MSD901 In Emergency Situations
1.
General
- In the event of immersion, the MSD901 has a number of emergency
features that are crucial to your survival.
2.
Neck Seal
- After entering the water, tighten the patented neck seal by grasping
the drawstring and pulling the tabs out and away from the neck until a snug,
comfortable fit is achieved.
3.
Wrist Seals
- The neoprene wrist seals will prevent the entry of water into the
suit. Tightening the wrist closures will improve the watertight integrity of the
wrist seals.
4. Hood
- The hood, if not deployed already, can be removed from its stowed
position. Tighten the drawstring on both sides of the hood to secure it about
the face.
