Inflating - Mustang Survival MD6254 Guide D'utilisation

INFLATING

Your PFD inflates in three ways: automatically, manually, or orally. No
matter how your PFD inflates, it can always be topped up orally –
extending its ability to keep you afloat.
The inflation instructions below use 'left' and 'right' assuming you are
wearing the PFD during inflation – so your left or right is also
the PFD's.
AUTOMATICALLY
• You fall or jump into the water.
– If the inflator on your PFD is immersed in 10cm (4") or more
inches of water, the resulting pressure triggers a reaction that
pierces the armed gas cylinder. The cylinder then releases CO
gas to inflate your PFD – normally within 5 seconds.
Because your PFD's sensor responds only to water pressure (rather
than just wetness), your PFD is designed to inflate when you are in
the water – and to avoid unintentional inflation in wet conditions.
MANUALLY
• You trigger inflation by jerking the silver handle on the right side of
your PFD.
– Grab the handle with your right hand (thumb up) and pull
(Fig. 9). The motion will be a short arc forward and to your
right. Your PFD inflates within 5 seconds.
