CHECK AGAIN THAT YOUR PFD IS PROPERLY RE-ARMED BEFORE YOU REPACK.
Completely deflate the inflation bladder of any air or gas. Force excess air out through the inflation tube (Fig. 5).
Do not wring bladder. Put the inflation tube cap back in the stowed position (Fig. 5).
The following are the steps to repack your PFD:-
1. Spread the PFD as flat as possible. Ensure all
air is extracted from the bladder and that the
bladder is tied to the back of the valise. The tie
is threaded through the 2 neck and 1 head
retaining loops
2. Fold the bottom lobes of the bladder inwards
beneath the fold line but just above the
velcro at the base of the valise
3. Fold the outside edge of each bladder lobe
towards the inside. The fold line being inside of
the velcro at the side of the valise
4. Close the valise over the bladder lobes.
Ensure the velcro closes together, properly
aligned and the Operating Head Toggle is
outside the valise
